It's part of the right wing anti-science conspiracy wing. I really have no idea why and I doubt they do either. My brothers in-laws have some of those obsessions and they told him when my niece was born she couldn't ever use fluoride and he told them to fuck off and shut the conversation right down. They didn't like that but they shut up about it after that.

If they're fighting meaningless shit, then they won't see the people picking their pockets and making their lives actually harder.

All of 6th grade level science is to be looked upon with superstitious dread:

Chlorophyll.

The water table..

Frog dissection...

It was the poster board used for science fair presentations what killed the baby Jesus

Because they are evil people who are motivated solely by a cruel disdain for humanity.
