Palm Bay, Florida Votes 5-0 to Remove Fluoride from Water
Jan 3, 2025, 02:43 AM
The Palm Bay City Council in Florida has unanimously voted, 5-0, to remove fluoride from the city's tap water. This decision aligns with a broader movement influenced by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., recently nominated as Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary by President Donald Trump. Kennedy has been vocal about his concerns over water fluoridation and other public health issues, as part of his "Make America Healthy Again" agenda. His nomination has sparked widespread debate due to his controversial positions on vaccines and public health policies. The vote in Palm Bay follows similar actions in other municipalities, reflecting growing local-level support for Kennedy's health initiatives.
