In a major move for medical freedom, Florida recently joined Utah as the second and first states, respectively, to outright ban the fluoridation of their public water supplies — a practice which, in addition posing serious health risks, also blatantly violates one of the central pillars of Western medicine: the patient’s right to informed consent before receiving any drug or treatment.

Via USA Today (emphasis added):
Florida is set to become the second state in the country to ban fluoride from being added to public water supplies after Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on May 6 that he planned to sign the bill into law.
In Miami, DeSantis, accompanied by Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson and Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, said he's signing the "Florida Farm Bill" (SB 700), which prevents local municipalities from adding fluoride to their water. The bill doesn't explicitly mention fluoride, but rather bans certain additives in the water system…
During the governor's news conference, behind a sign that said "Free State of Florida," DeSantis said: "It's forced medication when they're jamming fluoride into your water supply."
As I reported on at PJ Media at the time, in a major precedent-setting move, a federal district court ruled last year, for the first time ever, that water fluoridation at levels currently approved by the FDA causes brain damage in children.
Via Fluoride Action Network, September 2024 (emphasis added):
After 7 years of pursuing legal action against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over the risk posed to the developing brain by the practice of water fluoridation, the United States District Court of the Northern District of California has just ruled on behalf of the Fluoride Action Network and the plaintiffs in our precedent-setting court case. A U.S. federal court has now deemed fluoridation an “unreasonable risk” to the health of children, and the EPA will be forced to regulate it as such. The decision is written very strongly in our favor.

What was once “conspiracy theory” is now judicial canon.
Children’s Health Defense, the preeminent national organization advocating medical freedom, recently ran an expansive and insightful exposé on the behind-the-scenes efforts by the American Dental Association (ADA), the CDC, and various similar local groups to thwart efforts at the municipal level to de-fluoridate.
Via The Defender (emphasis added):
When Washburn, North Dakota’s town commissioners decided in January to take up the issue of whether or not to continue fluoridating the water supply for the town’s 1,300 residents, they anticipated researching the risks versus benefits and putting the matter to a vote.
What they didn’t anticipate — but soon encountered — was evidence of a coordinated effort by state actors and a national fluoride lobby group, using federal money, to crush local efforts by small towns like Washburn to stop fluoridating their water supplies…
Commissioner Keith Hapip shared what he said was evidence of astroturfing by Dr. Johnny Johnson, president of the American Fluoridation Society; Jim Kershaw, Bismarck, North Dakota’s water plant superintendent and others.
The American Dental Association, for its part, has allegedly been transporting pro-fluoride advocates to municipal and local-level meetings by the busload to create the mirage of popular local support of fluoridation programs where none might exist.
Johnny Johnson really brought in 32 dentists on a bus from a nearby convention trying to convince Seminole County to continue fluoridation.

The North Dakota Oral Health Program (OHP), The Defender also reported, which is funded by the CDC and is barred from using its resources for lobbying work, circulated a copy-and-paste letter template to various dental practices, encouraging them to put their signatures to it and create the appearance of the pre-written talking points being their own organic, expert opinions written out of deep concern for the health of the local community, when in fact those words are not their own and, knowingly or not, they are merely doing the bidding of forces at the highest echelons of the Public Health™ apparatus.
