The Shape of Things To Come

We’re finally getting an idea of what Make America Healthy Again might actually look like

We’re finally getting an idea of what Make America Healthy Again might actually look like.

On Saturday, Donald Trump’s health czar Robert F. Kennedy revealed that a first-day priority of the new Trump administration would be to end municipal water fluoridation.

“On January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S​. water systems to remove fluoride from public water,” Kennedy Tweeted.

“Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease. President ​@realDonaldTrump and First Lady @MELANIATRUMP want to Make America Healthy Again.”

In a second Tweet, Kennedy drew attention to a recent federal court ruling, in which an Obama-appointed judge, after reviewing a huge number of scientific studies and hours of expert testimony, ruled that the EPA had “improperly approved this dangerous neurotoxin.”

If you’ve been following the news, or my writing for Infowars, you’ll know the exact ruling Kennedy is referring to. Back in September, Judge Edward Chen, in the Northern District of California, found that fluoride in drinking water poses an “unreasonable risk” of reduced IQ in children.

“In all, there is substantial and scientifically credible evidence establishing that fluoride poses a risk to human health; it is associated with a reduction in the IQ of children and is hazardous at dosages that are far too close to fluoride levels in the drinking water of the United States,” Chen wrote in his judgment.

“EPA’s own expert agrees that fluoride is hazardous at some level,” he added, citing a report by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and National Toxicology Program (NTP) which “concluded that fluoride is indeed associated with reduced IQ in children, at least at exposure levels at or above 1.5 mg/L.”

American towns have already started removing fluoride from their water supplies after Judge Chen’s ruling. Yorktown and Somers, both in New York State, have announced an end to municipal fluoridation, on the sensible basis that residents can choose to supplement their diets with fluoride if they wish through toothpaste and other products, but nobody should have to consume fluoride if they don’t want to.

So that’s one MAHA initiative: an end to fluoridation.

Yesterday Trump said, in an interview with NBC, that idea “sounds okay to me.” Let’s assume he really is on board.

What else?

In the same interview, Trump was asked directly if he would consider banning certain vaccines.

“Well, I’m going to talk to [RFK Jr.] and talk to other people, and I’ll make a decision, but he’s a very talented guy and has strong views,” Trump replied.

That’s definitely not a refusal.
