“Doctor” Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Trump’s hapless Director of the Federal Department of Health and Human Services, recently announced that he would like to ban fluoride in public drinking water and ban fluoride supplements for kids from the market.
I am 65 years old, and I have a mouthful of healthy, happy teeth. My son is 22 years old, and he has never had a cavity. I owe this to a large degree to fluoride.
Kennedy won’t be happy until the United States of America is a nation full of children with rotting teeth. And when the United States of America becomes a nation full of children with rotting teeth, Kennedy will rub his hands with glee, smile a Grinchy smile and say, “My work here is done.”
And then he will slither off to a corner somewhere, curl up in a fetal position, and die. The only good part to this story is that it has a happy ending.
