Calgary stopped adding fluoride to its water in 2011. What happened? "The need for intravenous antibiotic therapy by children to avoid death by infection rose 700% at the Alberta Children’s Hospital." - Dr. James Dickinson @ University of Calgary https://t.co/UVRewk3ggy
Just interviewed RFK Jr., who said he spent two days last week with Trump and, now that the election is won, RFK repeats that the new administration will recommend getting flouride out of drinking water on Jan. 20. Adds the administration will give "information" on vaccines.

For those claiming that misogyny didn’t play a role in the election results, get back to me when you flip a coin and it comes up heads 47 times in a row.

What an enduring joy to be reminded (again and again) that someone who seemed so kind, so cool when you were a kid— is even MORE kind and cool than you could have known, way back then.
On my way to Philly to do whatever I can on this last weekend of the campaign… #bydhttmwfi
