Fluoride Free NZ Hamilton Coordinator posts “fluoride is rape”

This is the second time that I’ve heard someone call “fluoride is rape”. This was said from the Fluoride Free NZ Hamilton Coordinator. For those who are against fluoride, do you agree with these strong words?

Personally, I see this choice of words disgusting and sounds like they have no idea on the traumatic effects.

Edit: The original comment from the Fluoride Free group has now been quietly deleted.

Trouble makers complaining about the costs of their own troublemaking

Fluoride Free Hamilton is up to their tactics of misrepresentation and scaremongering again. They are raising financial scares with the assertion that the “unbudgeted cost of getting the fluoride plant back into working order” is $100,000. Wrong.
The council had said “Costs for council to reintroduce fluoride is $100,000, which has been considered as part of Council’s annual budget round.” So it is budgeted – but the details are interesting.

“to be financially prudent and conservative ahead of any decision, $100,000 has been added to the 2014/15 budget for both the operational costs ($50,000) of re-commencing fluoridation and anticipated legal costs.”

So operational costs are as before (about $48,000 per year) but $50,000 has been put aside for the anticipated legal costs.
These are costs which could be incurred because of Fluoride Free’s threatened legal action. Action which has no chance of success after the High Court judgement.
So we have the trouble makers complaining about the costs of their own troublemaking!

The anti-fluoride activist organisations just don’t take kindly to open discussion

The anti-fluoride activist organisations just don’t take kindly to open discussion and having their claims challenged. Fluoride Free Hamilton had originally allowed comments on the event page for the upcoming “information” meeting with “informed” dentists. They have no closed it because they found contributions from science-minded people intolerable.
