Rutland resident Jack Crowther has been a longtime critic.
“You’re putting a drug, a medicine, in our water to treat tooth decay without the informed consent of the people,” Crowther said.
“Mandrake, have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water?” 
“THEY’RE PUTTING MEDICINE IN THE WATER!” 
Also related, a Richmond, VT waterworks employee secretly lowered fluoride levels in the town’s drinking supply for a decade.
EDIT: I should’ve updated this a month ago, but the town voted to keep fluoride.
And what do people who do get fluorosis do. Not drink water ever? Only bathe and drink distilled water from the store?

How did they get fluorosis in the first place? It’s pretty hard to get
Industrial exposure. If you drink a shit ton of instant tea packets at once you can also get it. Some places have naturally high fluoride levels and in those places fluorosis is a legitimate public health issue.
How many cases do you see per year vs cases of tooth decay?
I’d rather lose every single one of my teeth than get fluorosis.
Also, wut? You can recover from fluorosis, losing all your teeth is permanent. You’re weird.
You can only recover from skeletal fluorosis in the early stages.
Which you can’t get from drinking municipal tap water
One is realistic and the other isn’t.
yeah fluorosis is a medical condition, someone might need to do special things during treatment, what a wild proposition. but you don’t absorb fluoride through skin so the bathing will be fine lol
You’re in a forum filled with Socialists and Communists. We support the greater good and government services that help everyone. This is one of those services.
I don’t care that five people have some rare condition that makes it hard for them to drink tap water if the tap water being treated is helping literally hundreds of millions of kids have healthy teeth! We can’t let perfect be the enemy of the good!
I’m also not going to call for banning trains just because some kid is in therapy for locomophobia.
Pick a better hill to die on.
