I feel this needs to be stated: the 3 year old definitely already had cavities.
The classic “detecting problems is what causes them” fallacy.
Very rough quote of the former “leader of the free world”, ‘stop testng for covid and we will have less cases’.
I believe he actually said “we have so many cases because we do so much testing”. Actually I think he said them both, what I quoted and then followed with yours. What an ultra-maroon.
He also said “stop reporting the death counts, it’s making me look bad”
And the infamous “it’s no worse than flu, it will be gone by spring [2020]…”
Oh and that drinking bleach would cure it.
Oh right, I totally forgot about the suggestion to shine a very bright light inside the body, or use bleach. Fucking dip shit.
He also endorsed ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, he said monoclonal antibodies were a miracle cure, he said warm weather would make COVID go away, he said COVID was a hoax by Democrats, he said one day it would miraculously disappear, he tasked his lead scientists with bringing UV light inside the body, he bragged that he would have been a great scientist because he had an uncle at MIT, he insisted on a mid-pandemic Rose Garden party were people couldn’t wear masks, he got Herman Cain killed…
It’s just such a long list of complete idiocy.
What, Herman Cain died!? I had either forgotten or never knew. RIP Herman, your sleazy presidential campaign ad will never be forgotten.
There is/was a subreddit called the Herman Cain award for covidiots that died of covid after denying it or denying sensible public health measures.
Now you have me wondering if there is a Herman Cain award community here.
Yeah, my brain’s still stuck on the north Korea commemorative coins. Everything else is a blur.
“We need to stop the testing so we don’t have so many COVID cases.”
How the fuck does a 3 year old get any cavities, much less 10?
Oooh boy, let me introduce you to the joy that is pediatric dentistry. I perform anesthesia at some peds dental places. Not unheard of to put full crowns or multiple extractions on kids under 3. I’m talking like at least one a day is that bad.
Aren’t their teeth just going to fall out? Why put them through the pain of a crown instead of just pulling it?
You also need your baby teeth to be present in order for your adult teeth to grow in properly. The entire jawbone changes as teeth grow and develop.
It does become an open wound in a real gross place for a while after pulling, I’d think any doctor of any sort would like to keep that to a minimum. You also don’t want to leave them bare without a crown because they’ll still have them for a while at least and cavities hurt.
Crowns on baby teeth? Wack, just pull those fuckers imo, they’ll be back.
I’ve been sat on a bus after work one time (maybe 10 years ago now) and I saw a mother open a 2L bottle of coke and fill up a bottle with a teet and pass it to a kid who was no older than 3.
And I’m willing to bet she signed the petition to remove fluoride from the local tap water too.
The interesting thing about fluoride and dental health stats, is that in most urban areas fluoride added to water accounts for something like less than 10% of cavity prevention.
But in poor towns and more rural areas, it can account for about 40% of cavity prevention.
Basically, higher income results in better dental care outcomes. Who knew, right?
Mandrake:
Yes, Jack?
Ripper:
Have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water?
Mandrake:
Well, no I… I can’t say I have, Jack.
Ripper:
Vodka. That’s what they drink, isn’t it? Never water?
Mandrake:
Well I… I believe that’s what they drink, Jack. Yes.
Ripper:
On no account will a commie ever drink water, and not without good reason.
Mandrake:
Oh, ah, yes. I don’t quite… see what you’re getting at, Jack.
Ripper:
Water. That’s what I’m getting at. Water. Mandrake, water is the source of all life. Seven tenths of this earth’s surface is water. Why, you realize that… seventy percent of you is water.
Mandrake:
Uhhh God…
Ripper:
And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids.
Mandrake:
Yes. chuckles nervously
Ripper:
You beginning to understand?
Mandrake:
Yes. chuckles. begins laughing/crying quietly
Ripper:
Mandrake. Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rain water, and only pure grain alcohol?
Mandrake:
Well it did occur to me, Jack, yes.
Ripper:
Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation? Fluoridation of water?
Mandrake:
Ah, yes, I have heard of that, Jack. Yes.
Ripper:
Well do you now what it is?
Mandrake:
No. No, I don’t know what it is. No.
Ripper:
Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face?
(…)
Ripper:
Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to fluoridated water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream, Mandrake. Children’s ice cream?
Mandrake:
Good Lord.
Ripper:
You know when fluoridation first began?
Mandrake:
No. No, I don’t, Jack. No.
Ripper:
Nineteen hundred and forty six. Nineteen fortysix, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your postwar commie conspiracy, huh? It’s incredibly obvious, isn’t it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That’s the way your hard core commie works.
Mandrake:
Jack… Jack, listen, tell me, ah… when did you first become, well, develop this theory.
Ripper:
Well, I ah, I I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love.
Mandrake:
sighs fearfully
Ripper:
Yes a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I was able to interpret these feelings correctly: loss of essence.
Mandrake:
Yes…
Ripper:
I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women… women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake, but I do deny them my essence.
— From Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove: or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.
I am utterly convinced that this scene alone is the singular source of the anti-fluoridation movement, even if many of the adherents haven’t seen it. With as many dipshits that take fiction as reality, you know this is how it started, and momentum has carried it through!
It’s the same as the belief that Kubrick faked the moon landing.

Village idiots would traditionally be cared for within the village. Today, they form social groups of their own.
Good we no longer have to take care of them
Yes, but they enable each other, making their delusions worse
I love how this idiot can’t quite comprehend the thought that the cavities were there when they took the kid away because they never got them dental care.
Its the same dumb fuck energy behind testing makes the covid cases go up.
Watched a video about SovCits once. It was wild hearing a British man complain about his constitutional rights being infringed.
During Covid there were many Canadians arguing the first amendment was being violated by the government. The Canadian first amendment establishes Manitoba as a province of Canada.
This is into the realm of semantics now but it isn’t even called the first amendment.
From Wikipedia: An Act to amend and continue the Act 32–33 Victoria chapter 3; and to establish and provide for the Government of the Province of Manitoba, 1870.
I’m from the US and obviously education is different all over the world, but I always think back to the crazy high number of people that graduated high school with me that I knew who legitimately didn’t want to learn anything because they “would never use it in the real world”. And before I got off identified social media whenever I would see them post it was always something like this with a non existent grasp of how the world works.
I don’t even know if I have a point other than how do we even begin to fix a problem this invasive and embedded. I’m almost 40 and these folks are not going to accept any sort of reality anytime soon, but we need them to understand reality so we can address its threats we face as a species.
