Where did the anti fluoride panic come from? This feels like it came out of nowhere compared to watching antivax which was gaining momentum even pre-covid.

Yeah, I remember anti flouridation group where I grew up about 20 years ago. I don't remember if they succeeded or not.

Come on, don't ye remember that quote from Dr. Strangelove (1964)

We can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

John Birch society perhaps. They were pushing it by the 60s and Kubrick made fun of them in Dr Strangelove.
