The city commission in Winter Haven, Florida voted this week to stop adding fluoride to the drinking water, citing President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be the Secretary of "H-something-something" as one of the reasons. On Thursday, the former-and-future president announced his intention to nominate Kennedy as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, a controversial decision due to Kennedy's long history of promoting conspiracy theories and misinformation about vaccines and other health topics, including water fluoridation. According to a report by local NBC affiliate WFLA, the Winter Haven commissioners "voted 3-2 to remove the fluoride by January 1, or on a date as soon as reasonably practical thereafter,'" at a commission meeting that included "a lengthy public comment period where residents shared health concerns." |
