Big moment from our #fluoridelawsuit. World-renowned environmental epidemiologist Dr. Philip Grandjean testified at trial that he was bullied by colleagues and higher ups at his university, Harvard, to retract his 2012 conclusions of #neurotoxicity from #fluoride exposure. 
2 “Well if you want the whole story, I was asked to meet with a professor from Harvard’s Dental School. He came to my office and essentially threatened me. He said I was endangering public health, and he demanded that I issue a statement similar to what you’re talking about now.”
3 “When I said that I would think it over, he went to the Dean’s of the medical school, the dental school, and the school of public health -that is my boss - without telling me, and the Dean’s did not know what was going on. They were just asked to sign a statement saying…”
4 “in agreement with CDC that fluoridation is the cornerstone of modern public health. And so this way, the press office of Harvard school of public health said to me, we better issue a statement because the article we just published in a journal called “Harvard Public health”…
5 “has resulted in the largest number of letters from readers, mainly dentists - that is fluoridation proponents, including this professor/colleague from Harvard’s dental school - who demanded that Harvard retract the results of my study.”
6 “And I said hey, my study, I can’t retract that, I can’t retract the conclusions. But I was then presented with the wording that you’re just referring to. So this is not my wording. It is an attempt to calm the tempers of the fluoridation proponents in the U.S.”
The conclusions of Dr. Grandjean’s 2012 study, that #fluoride is a #neurotoxic risk to children, have been bolstered by later studies (Bashash 2017, Green 2019, Till 2020) showing the same risk. Grandjean’s 2012 study can be read here: hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/…
