9. "things that were very complicated, and we don't completely understand" - then listen to those who do, you dolt

Yates later denied that a reported 9,000 children face significant barriers to accessing fluoride because of existing public health services. Commissioner Brad Dantzler suggested giving some of the estimated $48,000 saved by adopting the resolution to charities that can provide dental health products.
...
Dantzler said, in response to correspondence with dental professionals, that city commissioners acknowledge that fluoride is beneficial for dental health, but they have concerns about what may happen when it “gets in the gut.”
...
As pointed out by Dantzler and some public commenters, the discussion echoed those during meetings in the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This is reminiscent of what happened with COVID,” Dantzler said. “All four of us, with exception of Commissioner Dollison, were here during COVID and asked to make medical decisions on things that were very complicated, and we don’t completely understand.”

So rather than listening to the medical professionals, this bag of pus listens to the lawyer who was a heroin addict, is now abusing steroids, and drove his car with a chainsawed whale head leaking body fluids into the faces of his children. What an abject toady.
