It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
I agree with you and the other poster that there may be unknown additional side effects, even at the relatively low levels that are used to protect teeth, especially children's teeth, from cavities and toothy decay.
It's unfortunate that that line of inquiry has more often than not been bad-faith reactionary chud shit, like antivax movements are and with similar overlap. Some vaccines do have known side effects, but it's messy to even talk about it because of the chud factor.
Yeah thats the thing about anti-science behavior not only is it harmful directly but it has indirect effects of making it harder to actually approach things from a proper scientific perspective. Since we should honestly be skeptical of everything, but "skepticism" has been high jacked by these reactionary assholes who use the word to mean "i just dont believe anything scientists say"
More often than not "debunked" tends to mean "no, I don't like that and I found a Youtuber that agrees with me," and that sucks.
