It's already in toothpaste....and probably shouldn't be, definitely shouldn't be in our drinking water.

Fluoride crosses the placenta and enters the fetal brain. Fluoride is known to be biologically toxic, and the fetus is exposed from the moment of conception. It also bioaccumulates in the bone with a half-life estimated at 20 years. How is it possible that this is allowed?

The chemical compounds that are added to “fluoridate” the drinking water, eg hydrofluorocilicic acid, are toxic

Dentists have no training in fluoride’s effects to the human body which doesnt reside in the mouth. All they have are talking points not backed by science to protect organized dentistry’s political viability

Neither my neighbors nor my elected officials have any right using my tax dollars to dose me through my water with a substance for which I have a medical reason to avoid, forcing me to have to buy water for drinking, cooking, and even brushing my teeth!

Fluoride is a medicine. Personally I don’t want the government putting medicine in my drinking water. There are a number of studies which show the adverse effects of fluoride. The slogan, “when in doubt keep it out”. makes perfect sense to me.

Mass medicated in crude and unprofessional. Mass medication is not the way a professional delivers a health or dental care product to his/her patients. How can it be OK for a city or a state to deliver a substance to its entire population; fluoridation is, indeed, public health malpractice.

With his biases, he should not be using his position to meddle in gov on his own behalf. He's looking after no one but himself.

I totally disagree, he needs nothing and was only working to help the majority. The waste uncovered is excessive, no one can argue that.

He's an absolute nutcase. And an immigrant from South Africa, who grew up under apartheid, with no security clearance, has any business ransacking our government, accessing private data or having any influence of government departments investigating his businesses.

While I understand he had limited time, I feel more time would have benefited the country. That being said, I am grateful for the time he gave and the job he did. I look forward to seeing the results in the near future.

I hope he trained the people he left behind. He did an amazing job in only 130 days.

He has uncovered so much waste and corruption in the US Government. I only wish congress acted on what he found!

Why should people in Central and eastern Missouri be required to finance something for Kansas City. Totally insane.

Just more political corruption. They know they can do it and get away with it. They did it with Busch stadium and the additional ballpark village.
