The issue is not whether fluoride is good or bad. Conservatives vilify medical experts as "woke" and it that as a reason to dismiss their advice.

I too can cherry pick an article to support my position. The number of cavities in children born in Calgary, Canada within the decade after they removed fluoride from their water was higher than nearby Edmonton who kept fluoride.

We can argue about who has more links to support their argument; or we can argue about whether politicians should govern based on the recommendations of experts, or trust that "they know best".

And half that hedge fund's portfolio?
