Flashback to a few weeks ago when RFK's anti-water-floridation stance was once again in the news and countless people were ready to go to bat for him: "No, he's just removing the mandatory health experiment of fluoride in the water. If you want to go out and get fluoride supplements nobody will stop you".
Give it a few more weeks, and it will be banned from toothpastes too.
And then the goal posts will move again and people will defend it: “Well at least he’s not trying to ban toothpaste itself! Get a grip, libs!”
And then when he bans toothpaste: “You can get the topical treatment and a cleaning from the dentist if you want it so badly. Stop worrying so much!”
And then when he bans the topical treatment at the dentist: “It’s a logical move. Look, it’s not like he’s jailing dentists. You can still waste your money visiting your dentist if you think it’s going to help your teeth, LOL!”
I think there is anger at the left for oppression during COVID. Many rules. Irrationality. Save 1 COVID death, cause 2 suicides from isolation, raped the economy, as a price, was it worth it? Resentment towards the medical establishment as heavy-handed and out of touch with common sense. Trump ascension now, as before, is the realization of this unheard anger and resentment, something he seems to be brilliant at connecting with. Thusly it's not about, "is this rational or not". It's not rational. It's anger, it's payback. Main point is the left, the party of compassion, ought to re-evaluate whether it's compassionate towards all parties in all contexts. Same for medicine.
> I think there is anger at the left for oppression during COVID.
Are we remembering the same history? Because I clearly remember COVID lockdowns and measures implemented and supported by the president in power at the time: Trump.
> out of touch with common sense
It is out of touch with science and reality too.
That people are believe this pseudo science is not a failing of the left, it is manufactured by the right.
