US Department of Health and Human Services report confirms fluoride exposure is associated with lower IQ in children.

The Expose News - com

The claim that the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report confirms fluoride exposure is associated with lower IQ in children has been circulating widely. This claim is based on a report by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), which was delayed and finally released in August 2024. The report presents a comprehensive evaluation of the scientific evidence associating fluoride exposure with cognitive and neurodevelopmental health effects.
The NTP report found that 72 studies examined the association between fluoride exposure and IQ in children, with 64 showing an inverse relationship. This means that higher fluoride exposure was linked to lower IQ scores. Even at lower concentrations, fluoride exposure was associated with lower IQ. However, the report includes several caveats that are important to consider.
Firstly, the report mentions 'higher estimated fluoride exposures,' which are at drinking water fluoride concentrations that exceed the World Health Organization Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality of 1.5 mg/L of fluoride. The NTP scientists call for more studies to fully understand the potential for lower fluoride exposure to affect children's IQ. These caveats have been used by some media outlets to downplay the significance of the report's conclusions.
Despite these caveats, the NTP scientists make it clear that their conclusions apply to the US population. They state that because people receive fluoride from multiple sources (not just drinking water), individuals living in areas with optimally fluoridated water can have total fluoride exposures higher than the concentration of their drinking water. Additionally, there are people living in the United States who live in areas with naturally occurring fluoride in drinking water that is higher than 1.5 mg/L.
The release of the NTP report coincides with an ongoing legal battle between the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). The lawsuit began following the EPA's 2016 decision to deny the plaintiff's petition under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). FAN is attempting to prove that fluoride is a neurotoxin and should be regulated or banned under the TSCA.
Emails released as part of the lawsuit reveal that various elements of the US government appear to have been involved in a concerted effort to block the release of the NTP draft report. The emails show that NTP scientists believed their work was completed and set a date for May 2022 for publication. However, leadership at the top levels of the Department of Health and Human Services intervened to stop the report from being released.
In conclusion, the claim that the US Department of Health and Human Services report confirms fluoride exposure is associated with lower IQ in children is partially true. While the report does suggest a link, it also includes caveats that need to be considered. The report calls for more studies to fully understand the potential for lower fluoride exposure to affect children's IQ. Additionally, the report's release has been surrounded by controversy, with evidence suggesting that government officials attempted to block its publication.

Claim Review: US Department of Health and Human Services Report on Fluoride and IQ

The claim that a secret CDC report confirms Dr. Anthony Fauci lied and hundreds of thousands of children died due to COVID vaccination is false. This claim is based on an article published by The Exposé, which is known for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories.
Firstly, there is no evidence of a secret CDC report claiming that hundreds of thousands of children died due to COVID vaccination. The CDC regularly publishes data on COVID-19 vaccinations and any adverse events, and there is no such report on their website or any other official platform.
Secondly, the claim that Dr. Anthony Fauci lied about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines is also false. Dr. Fauci has consistently emphasized the importance of vaccines in protecting against COVID-19, and his statements are backed by scientific evidence. The COVID-19 vaccines have been thoroughly tested and found to be safe and effective in clinical trials and real-world studies.
The article also claims that excess deaths among children and young adults increased after the roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines. However, this is not supported by official data. According to the CDC, COVID-19 was one of the leading causes of death among children and young adults in the US in 2021, and the vast majority of these deaths occurred among unvaccinated individuals.
The article also cites data from the UK's Office for National Statistics (ONS) to claim that vaccinated individuals are more likely to die than unvaccinated individuals. However, this is a misinterpretation of the data. The ONS data shows that the mortality rate among vaccinated individuals is lower than that among unvaccinated individuals for all age groups, including children and young adults.
Furthermore, the article claims that the mainstream media is covering up the truth about COVID-19 vaccines. However, this is not true. The mainstream media has extensively covered the COVID-19 pandemic and the development and roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines, and has reported on any adverse events associated with the vaccines.
In conclusion, the claim that a secret CDC report confirms Dr. Anthony Fauci lied and hundreds of thousands of children died due to COVID vaccination is false. There is no evidence of such a report, and official data does not support these allegations. The COVID-19 vaccines have been thoroughly tested and found to be safe and effective, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks.

Claim Review: Secret CDC Report on COVID Vaccine Deaths in Children

<h2>Introduction</h2>
The claim that AI could cause human extinction has been a topic of intense debate among experts, futurists, and ethicists. This article aims to evaluate the validity of this claim by examining the potential risks and benefits of AI, as well as the factors that influence its development and integration into society.
<h2>Potential Risks of AI</h2>
One of the primary concerns surrounding AI is the possibility of it becoming an existential threat to humanity. This could occur if AI is developed and controlled by individuals or groups with malicious intentions, or if the technology is not properly governed and regulated.
Stephen Hawking, a renowned physicist, once stated, "Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks." This highlights the need for responsible innovation and ethical reflection in the development of AI.
<h2>Mitigating the Risks</h2>
To mitigate the risks associated with AI, it is crucial to implement robust governance frameworks and foster global cooperation. This includes establishing ethical guidelines, promoting transparency, and ensuring that AI technologies are developed and used in a manner that benefits society as a whole.
Research has shown that ethical considerations are essential in the development of AI. A study published in the journal <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2631-2">Nature</a> emphasizes the importance of integrating ethical principles into AI design and deployment to minimize potential harms.
<h2>Balanced Perspectives</h2>
While the risks of AI are significant, it is also important to acknowledge the potential benefits. AI has the capacity to revolutionize various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and education. By enhancing efficiency, improving decision-making, and enabling personalized services, AI can contribute to societal progress and well-being.
A report by the <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/artificial-intelligence/where-machines-could-replace-humans-and-where-they-cant-yet">McKinsey Global Institute</a> highlights the economic and social benefits of AI, emphasizing its potential to create new jobs, increase productivity, and drive innovation.
<h2>Current State and Future Outlook</h2>
The future of AI depends largely on how it is developed, governed, and integrated into society. Responsible innovators, global cooperation, and continued ethical reflection are key to ensuring a positive outcome. Individuals can also play a role by being proactive and informed, seeking alternative options, and advocating for ethical AI practices.
In conclusion, while AI does have the potential to pose existential risks under certain scenarios, these risks can be mitigated through responsible development, robust governance, and ethical considerations. It is essential to strike a balance between harnessing the benefits of AI and addressing its potential risks to ensure a positive future for humanity.
