I feel this needs to be stated: the 3 year old definitely already had cavities.
The classic “detecting problems is what causes them” fallacy.
Very rough quote of the former “leader of the free world”, ‘stop testng for covid and we will have less cases’.
I believe he actually said “we have so many cases because we do so much testing”. Actually I think he said them both, what I quoted and then followed with yours. What an ultra-maroon.
“We need to stop the testing so we don’t have so many COVID cases.”
How the fuck does a 3 year old get any cavities, much less 10?
Oooh boy, let me introduce you to the joy that is pediatric dentistry. I perform anesthesia at some peds dental places. Not unheard of to put full crowns or multiple extractions on kids under 3. I’m talking like at least one a day is that bad.
Aren’t their teeth just going to fall out? Why put them through the pain of a crown instead of just pulling it?
You also need your baby teeth to be present in order for your adult teeth to grow in properly. The entire jawbone changes as teeth grow and develop.
It does become an open wound in a real gross place for a while after pulling, I’d think any doctor of any sort would like to keep that to a minimum. You also don’t want to leave them bare without a crown because they’ll still have them for a while at least and cavities hurt.
I’ve been sat on a bus after work one time (maybe 10 years ago now) and I saw a mother open a 2L bottle of coke and fill up a bottle with a teet and pass it to a kid who was no older than 3.
Village idiots would traditionally be cared for within the village. Today, they form social groups of their own.
Watched a video about SovCits once. It was wild hearing a British man complain about his constitutional rights being infringed.
During Covid there were many Canadians arguing the first amendment was being violated by the government. The Canadian first amendment establishes Manitoba as a province of Canada.
It really highlights how the information is prepared for idiots who don’t understand what they are saying. They have no idea how to control their life so they look for the clearly labeled things like “legal” and “lawsuit”. It’s as if they think legalese is a form of magic that forces things to go their way.
And I’m willing to bet she signed the petition to remove fluoride from the local tap water too.
The interesting thing about fluoride and dental health stats, is that in most urban areas fluoride added to water accounts for something like less than 10% of cavity prevention.
But in poor towns and more rural areas, it can account for about 40% of cavity prevention.
Basically, higher income results in better dental care outcomes. Who knew, right?
Mandrake:
Yes, Jack?
Ripper:
Have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water?
Mandrake:
Well, no I… I can’t say I have, Jack.
Ripper:
Vodka. That’s what they drink, isn’t it? Never water?
Mandrake:
Well I… I believe that’s what they drink, Jack. Yes.
Ripper:
On no account will a commie ever drink water, and not without good reason.
Mandrake:
Oh, ah, yes. I don’t quite… see what you’re getting at, Jack.
Ripper:
Water. That’s what I’m getting at. Water. Mandrake, water is the source of all life. Seven tenths of this earth’s surface is water. Why, you realize that… seventy percent of you is water.
Mandrake:
Uhhh God…
Ripper:
And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids.
Mandrake:
Yes. chuckles nervously
Ripper:
You beginning to understand?
Mandrake:
Yes. chuckles. begins laughing/crying quietly
Ripper:
Mandrake. Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rain water, and only pure grain alcohol?
Mandrake:
Well it did occur to me, Jack, yes.
Ripper:
Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation? Fluoridation of water?
Mandrake:
Ah, yes, I have heard of that, Jack. Yes.
Ripper:
Well do you now what it is?
Mandrake:
No. No, I don’t know what it is. No.
Ripper:
Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face?
(…)
Ripper:
Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to fluoridated water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream, Mandrake. Children’s ice cream?
Mandrake:
Good Lord.
Ripper:
You know when fluoridation first began?
Mandrake:
No. No, I don’t, Jack. No.
Ripper:
Nineteen hundred and forty six. Nineteen fortysix, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your postwar commie conspiracy, huh? It’s incredibly obvious, isn’t it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That’s the way your hard core commie works.
Mandrake:
Jack… Jack, listen, tell me, ah… when did you first become, well, develop this theory.
Ripper:
Well, I ah, I I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love.
Mandrake:
sighs fearfully
Ripper:
Yes a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I was able to interpret these feelings correctly: loss of essence.
Mandrake:
Yes…
Ripper:
I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women… women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake, but I do deny them my essence.
