Fluoride Exposure during Pregnancy Linked to Neurobehavioral Issues in Children
Pregnant women who drink fluoridated water are exposing their babies to a significantly increased risk of serious neurobehavioral issues in childhood, according to a new study.
Just under 75% of the US population receives a fluoridated water supply at a targeted concentration of 0.7 milligrams per liter.
The new research, published in JAMA Network Open, found that this targeted concentration is enough to increase the risk of neurobehavioral issues in children at age three, and that a 0.68 milligram per liter increase in fluoride exposure could double the risk of a child displaying such issues.
Animal studies have consistently shown that high levels of fluoride exposure cause serious changes to neurobiochemical changes, and that fluoride can cross the placental barrier between a mother and her child.
But recent human studies from Mexico and Canada have suggested that even low levels of exposure during pregnancy could be linked to lower IQ, reduced cognitive function and increased symptoms of ADHD.
The new study took 229 mother-child pairs from the Maternal and Developmental Risks from Environmental and Social Stressors (MADRES) cohort, which consists of mainly Hispanic women living in urban Los Angeles, California. The participants were recruited during prenatal care visits between 2015 and 2020.
The researchers took single spot urine samples from the mothers during their third trimester of pregnancy (weeks 29 to 40). The samples were analyzed for urinary fluoride levels, as an index of total fluoride intake. The median urinary fluoride concentration among the mothers was 0.76 milligrams per liter.
When the children reached the age of three years, their mothers completed the Preschool Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), a commonly used measure of children’s cognitive development and behaviour. The CBCL includes 99 items that assess a range of behavioral and emotional problems, from depression and withdrawal to attention problems and aggression, and diagnosable conditions like ADHD and autism-spectrum disorders.
A key finding of the study was that a 0.68 milligram per liter increase in maternal urinary fluoride levels during pregnancy was associated with nearly double the odds of the child scoring in the borderline clinical or clinical range for total neurobehavioral problems.
As well as being associated with an overall increase in the risk of neurobehavioral problems, higher fluoride exposure was also associated with specific issues. A 0.68 milligram per liter increase was associated with a 13.54% increase in scores for emotionally reactive behaviors, for example, and a 19.60% increase in somatic complaints.
There was also an 11.29% increase in anxiety problems and an 18.53% increase in autism-spectrum problems.
“Women with higher fluoride exposure levels in their bodies during pregnancy tended to rate their 3-year-old children higher on overall neurobehavioral problems and internalizing symptoms, including emotional reactivity, anxiety and somatic complaints,” said Tracy Bastain, an associate professor at the University of Southern California and senior author of the study.
“I think this is important evidence, given that it’s the first U.S.-based study and findings are quite consistent with the other studies published in North America with comparable fluoride exposure levels,” added the study’s lead investigator Ashley Malin.
“Conducting a nationwide U.S. study on this topic would be important, but I think the findings of the current study and recent studies from Canada and Mexico suggest that there is a real concern here.”
Peter Hotez: Use Police and Military To Counter “Anti-Vaccine Aggression”
Dr Peter Hotez has suggested that the police and military should be used to counter “anti-vaccine aggression” in the US and around the world, and blamed such “aggression” for causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of deaths in the US during the pandemic.
Dr Hotez, a high-profile advocate of the COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic, was being interviewed earlier this month at the International Symposium of Pediatric Updates in Cartagena, Colombia, when he made the comments.
“What I’ve said to the Biden administration is, the health sector can’t solve this on its own. We’re going to have to bring in Homeland Security, the Commerce Department, Justice Department to help us understand how to do this.
“I met with Dr. Tedros [director general of the WHO] last month… to say, I don’t know that the World Health Organization can solve this on our own. We need the other United Nations agencies. NATO. This is a security problem because it’s no longer a theoretical construct or some arcane academic exercise. Two hundred thousand Americans died because of anti-vaccine aggression, anti-science aggression.
“And so, this is now a lethal force… and now I feel as a pediatric vaccine scientist… it’s important, just as important for me to make new vaccines, to save lives. The other side of saving lives is countering this anti-vaccine aggression.”
Dr Hotez described the “anti-vaccine movement” as being “political motivated” and “organized,” “deliberate” and “well-funded.”
A full video of the interview was available until Wednesday, when it was removed from YouTube. The Defender obtained the full video and provided a transcript on its website.
Hotez is currently dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor University College of Medicine. He is also director of the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children’s Hospital, which sponsored the event in Colombia.
Dr Hotez was directly involved in the development of the Corbevax COVID-19 vaccine, which was administered in India, and has received tens of millions of dollars in funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He holds patents for a variety of different vaccines.
In addition to his medical research, Dr Hotez has become a highly visible campaigner in the fight against “vaccine misinformation.” A puff-piece in The Hill from March noted that Dr Hotez finds “pushing back on the anti-vaccine movement is just as important as developing vaccines.”
620% Higher Risk of Myocarditis after mRNA COVID Vaxx
People who received an mRNA COVID vaccine are at a 620% increased risk of myocarditis and a 175% increased risk of pericarditis, according to a new large-scale study.
Researchers in South Korea looked at health data for over nine million South Koreans, and found that those who received mRNA vaccinations for COVID were a significantly elevated risk for a variety of cardiac and neurological conditions.
As well as the significant increases in risk for myo- and pericarditis given above, individuals who received an mRNA vaccination were at 62% increased risk for Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare neurological condition.
There was also a 16% increased risk of the most common form of lupus and a 58% risk of bullous pemphigoid, a blistering skin condition. Booster shots were associated with increased risks of autoimmune conditions such as alopecia areata (hair loss), psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis.
The research authors noted that, because of its focus on just a single ethnic group, the study may have less validity for other ethnic groups. They also noted that the 15-month follow-up may not be long enough to capture the full range of health conditions and their onset as a result of the mRNA vaccines.
Another South Korean study recently found significant increases in the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive impairment in individuals given mRNA COVID vaccines.

Trump: Biden Removal Was a “Coup”
Joe Biden was removed from the 2024 presidential race by a “coup,” Donald Trump told the audience at a packed Turning Point Action event in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday.
From the podium Trump described Joe Biden’s removal as “horrible.”
“As you know, five days ago, we officially defeated the worst President in the history of the United States: Crooked Joe Biden. You know, I thought a lot about it. We defeated him. He was badly beaten. And, you know, everybody was going to him… And they were saying, ‘We want you out of the race. You’re going to lose. We want to put somebody else in.’
“How about that? It’s like a prize fighter. He’s losing badly, ready to be knocked out. And they say, ‘Well, wait, let’s stop the fight. Let’s put somebody else in.’ It doesn’t work that way. And it’s not supposed to work that way. And this really was a coup by the Democrats. This was a coup…
“I hate to stick up for Biden, but, you know, he didn’t want to do what he did. He said, ‘I’ll never go out. I’ll never, ever go out.’ Two days later, ‘I’m proud to go out…’ And now they’re trying to make him into a brave hero. ‘He’s so brave.’”

Trump also tore into Kamala Harris, describing her as a “bum.”
“She was a bum three weeks ago. She was a bum. A failed VP, in a failed administration, with millions of people crossing and she was the Border Czar.”
Trump added that Harris is “worse than Joe Biden and in a true sense much more liberal.”
The former president’s appearance was the first without an ear bandage since the attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania two weeks ago.
He told the audience that he removed the bandage “for this group.”
“As I think you can see, I’ve recovered well and, in fact, just took off the last bandage off of my ear.”
