It’s basically coping responses from people who are starting to realize they have been loudly wrong for years. It’s a fairly human response I suppose. They’ll get over it eventually after they go through the stages of grief or whatever.

No? What is a coping response? I asked the commenter to provide context to their links that supposedly show evidence for what the initial question was (does fluoride at the concentrations in drinking water cause harm), which they definitely do not show evidence for.

  • The thing is you are not being curious. You are basically putting your head in the sand and goading at people to drag it out for you.

    • You need to stop attacking people on HN. It's not permitted here. You are free to disagree with their statements and positions, but making character judgments like this is not OK.

      Nah. I pretty much agree with what Utah is doing here (though I’d prefer just not mandating it and making the decision as local as it needs to be). OP’s link list looks AI generated. That’s just not a good-faith comment.
