Pretty simple, his fraud caused a large number of less intelligent
parents to not vaccinate their children, and as a result, a number of
those children died from vaccine preventable diseases.

Go suck down a nice overdose of fluoride and see how quickly you are
dead. The toxicity of fluoride is indisputable, it is only safe to use
in controlled situations and pumping it into a public water system with
100 year old pipes is not a controlled situation.

Pete is technically correct; high doses of fluoride are deadly.

However...by the same token, high doses of iron, copper, chromium,
selenium, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin D2, salt, sugar, and just about any
other substance you can name are deadly. Low doses of these named
substances (except for table sugar ;-)) are necessary to life and
health.

"Toxic" is not about the substance. It's all about the dose. Fluoride
in low doses, as found in drinking water, is not toxic.

One would think so, but there is an attempt to let teachers concentrate
on teaching, and not be responsible for a whole lot of other stuff.
Many people think the schools should have significant responsibilities
for health care and feeding of their students, but there just isn't the
funding for it.

My wife is the president of the local school board, so I asked her about
this. They have one nurse, for four schools and 1700 students, K-6
grades. She is responsible for keeping the records for immunizations
and screenings. I believe she does the screenings also. I believe the
school secretaries actually keep the records. For minor scrapes, the
school secretaries apply bandages.

State law requires vaccinations. Parents can opt out, though, and
submit a signed form for the school records. No reason is given, just
"personal reasons". If there is an outbreak of a contagious disease,
the school nurse can prohibit unvaccinated students from attending
school during the outbreak.

This information is for California, where both sf and I live.
