Oooooo they are talking about fluoridation again!!!! I hope @mikevanholst brings more props!!! #LdnOnt @CityofLdnOnt @LFPress @CBCLondon
Here he goes!!!!!!!!!!
Omg... emotional trauma... medical community conspiracy... how did this man get elected!!!!
"Believe the victims" - this guy is again comparing fluoride victims to victims of sexual assault...
You don't believe victims of magic, you instead need to trust the scientific community... @laurmildred @ryarmst this is amazing
City councillors are not scientists...
Oh no... he evoked the precautionary principle... watch out everyone!!
This guy is using council to promote gibberish... he needs a new hobby.
Big fluoride is paying off the EPA.
It is seriously a list of pseudoscience tropes... he is now quoting random dentists. Great.
The motion failed... oh God... he is now onto a new disease...
No props yet.
Oh so... new disease is really caused by fluoride... apparently all diseases with unknown causes is fluoride caused.
@MaureenPCassidy to the rescue! If she votes for giving city workers 15 minimum she will be the hero of the night!
Voting on a challenge!
I am no longer bored @ArielkeK @ElizabethPeloza
Challenge failed... and on we go... I want some props!!!!
"Would you rather have a cavity or irritable bowel syndrome" ... this is amazing.
I never realized these were the only two options.
He is still going............
Fluoridation now causes cancer. What doesn't fluoride cause?
Fluoride ruined my marriage
Fluoride killed JFK
He is done. @jesse_helmer making a kind gesture... but seriously, city council is not a body that should deliberate whether fluoride causes cancer.
At least @jesse_helmer is bringing the science. Bravo!
"I do not think there is a conspiracy in public health" - @jesse_helmer
And the verdict is...
It is done. Good. Fluoride remains. Thank you city council.
Oh no ... now @AnnaHopkins11 is saying there are good arguments on both sides... but also acknowledges city council is not the expert.
@MaureenPCassidy standing with @jesse_helmer in the name of science!
@shawnwlewis also admits he isn't an expert, has concerns, but is ultimately going with the scientific evidence...
@JoshMorganLDN isn't really speaking on the evidence but is voting no on removing fluoride because... no one will be happy?
Merebergen is having flashbacks... the trauma is real. Nothing has changed but this keeps coming up. "We rely on public health agencies" ...THANK YOU
"Resist the allure of junk science and the politics of fear... the facts are the facts are the facts" - Meerbergen for the win.
@ElizabethPeloza standing for those with lower incomes. Being poor doesn't mean you will have poor dental hygiene.
@jesse_helmer wants the city staff to work on other things... hopefully at a $15 minimum right Jesse? ;)
Call to question....
I think it failed?
It failed! It is dead.
Forgot to hit tweet... they are on recess for an hour... still need to get to #15andfairness
