'The anti-fluoride people are like the 'anti-vaccine people': New York Town announces water de-fluoridation against pressure

By newseditors // 2024-10-01

Citing the federal court ruling I reported on a few days ago, Yorktown, New York Supervisor Ed Lachterman has suspended the city’s fluoridation program. (Article by Ben Bartee republished from ArmageddonProse.Substack.com) Via Yorktown government website (emphasis added):

“Yorktown Supervisor Ed Lachterman ordered the suspension of water fluoridation in the Town today, citing a recent federal court ruling. U.S. District Judge Edward M. Chen ruled on Tuesday that the current standard for water fluoridation in the U.S., set at 0.7 mg/L, presents an “unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment.” The decision emphasized the potential risks to vulnerable populations, including children, leading Supervisor Lachterman to take immediate action. “In light of this federal ruling and the long-standing concerns expressed by many Yorktown residents, I have decided to suspend water fluoridation as a precautionary measure,” said Lachterman. “Our priority is the safety and well-being of our community, and we believe it is prudent to pause fluoridation to further assess its potential impacts.” Yorktown will continue to monitor guidance from federal and state agencies and act accordingly to protect public health. Yorktown’s leadership will engage with public health experts to ensure that any future decisions on water treatment practices prioritize the safety and health of all residents, particularly those identified as potentially more vulnerable to fluoridation risks.”

As late as August of this year, however — less than two months ago — this same individual, Ed Lachterman, was touting the alleged miracle that is water fluoridation because a boomer dentist who lives in the town told him the CDC thinks it’s a great idea while Councilwoman Susan Siegel smeared all the townspeople who objected as “like the anti-vaccine people.” Read more at: ArmageddonProse.Substack.com
