Seventy years of policy cannot be reversed without institutional pain. Careers were built on fluoridation. Reputations depend on its continuation. Agencies that promoted it face liability if they acknowledge harm.
None of that changes the evidence.
The science is settled in the way that matters: the preponderance of evidence indicates harm. The uncertainty that remains concerns magnitude, not direction. Whether fluoride reduces IQ by three points or seven points, the ethical calculation is identical. Mass medication without consent, producing cognitive harm in children, cannot be justified by cavity prevention when alternative methods exist.
The institutions are stalling. They will continue stalling until forced to stop. That force must come from you.
