..some of the more wild conspiratorial thinking—those who believed that fluoride is a byproduct of the nuclear age, and that the government is storing it inertly in our bones to avoid poisoning the planet.

lol

So it's toxic in the environment but safe and inert in our bodies? Some people I swear 🫠

I think the really eye-rolling part is _the government doing a damn fucking thing to preserve the environment. _

I would applaud the government if toxic nuclear-fallout fluoride was being stored in the bones of the citizens to prevent it from destroying the more vulnerable critical ecosystem.

We can't even get them to admit that the earth is heating up and the solution merely requires billion and trillion dollar companies to make just a little bit less profit.

Just as long as our bones never end up in the environment, we're golden!
