    It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison

    Really? I could have had better than 132 if I'd skipped taking care of my teeth?

    I must be special. Who knew?

    And I'm not dead from the covid vaccine, or any of the others I've had over the past 60 years.

    Apparently if you were exposed to too much flouride instead of a proper amount. This study has been out before and was the study which led to a judge's ruling last August?.

    I think this link references the study above.

    High risk of bias

    The related analysis published Monday looked at data from 74 human studies, 45 of which were conducted in China and 12 in India. Of the 74, 52 were rated as having a high risk of bias, meaning they had designs, study methods, or statistical approaches that could skew the results.

    Not all studies are created equal.

    That last line is for you Rev.

    so how many booster have you gotten so far gunny?
    CDC recommends more.

    I recommend you skip it.

    I have not had a booster. The virus has run its course best I can tell. I've never had covid, even when everyone else in the house had it twice. Point being, there's sound reasoning based on fact and current situation behind my decisions, both to get the vaccine, and to not bother with boosters.

    Adding fluoride to public drinking water is a beneficial service. Same as with the covid vaccine, a couple of people having adverse reactions while the vast majority benefit from it is NOT a reason to deprive the latter.
