Lol shut up I have two kids, a PhD and almost 20 years experience running a university research lab BEFORE my current job.

So? Did you study the effects of drinking fluoridated water?

Or do you just have faith in those who did?

but listening to the consensus of people who know more than you isn’t religion, it’s a heuristic for making better decisions.

It's just another source of information. Treating that source as absolute truth without understanding it yourself is ignorant.

For the same reason people should “have to” resort to anything else they don’t want that everyone else is fine with.

Like lead in gasoline? The thing is, everyone else is not "fine" with this. Why do you think there's an article about it?

You shouldn't trust me just because I said something, yes.

You should understand what's being said yourself so it doesn't matter who is saying it.

Why should people have to resort to using reverse osmosis to avoid fluoride in their drinking water?

Also, good job pivoting instead of admitting you were arguing in bad faith.

I expect you to keep doing that.

War crimes don't matter if nobody has the balls to prosecute people for them.

What a bad faith argument.

Most people who want to avoid fluoride in their drinking water use reverse osmosis.

The only model of journalism that works is public funded/donated.

Not really.

Some of the best journalism is done by random joe's with a camera.

Do you think children are more susceptible than adults?

Absolutely.

At what age are they less?

It depends on the individual, but the general trend is that people become less susceptible to coercion as they become older and gain more life experience.

Children are too easily manipulated, and I don't trust people to avoid coercing children that it's better to be trans.

Probably.

Just check the modlogs :P
