Sure, but that's not the case the original poster makes -- yours is an example of a convincing hypothesis. The original one might as well say "ooooo scary chemicals!"

Yeah so you need to go back and reply to the original commenter or something, instead of to my post adding truthful content lol. I wasn't doubling down on the meme. I was saying that unlike any of your other examples similar to the meme, there are qualified people who criticize water flouridation.

Edit: What the fuck have I got myself into 🥲

The original one is also factual -- fluoride will eat holes in concrete.

Fair enough. I edited it to say “truthful” instead. I will now seek to exit my involvement in these comments.
