Governor Ron DeSantis celebrates bills removing fluoride from drinking water and prohibiting weather modification

Press release from the Office of Governor Ron DeSantis

MIAMI —Today, Governor Ron DeSantis announced his support for two bills passed by the Florida Legislature aimed at protecting Floridians from unauthorized chemical exposure and atmospheric manipulation.

“Today I was in Miami to support SB 700, which bans local governments from unilaterally adding fluoride to public drinking water,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “In addition to this, I also reiterated in Miami that Florida is not a testing ground for geoengineering. We already do not permit this activity, and I will be signing SB 56 to prohibit the practice in our skies. The Free State of Florida means freedom from governments or private actors unilaterally applying chemicals or geoengineering to people or public spaces.”

Senate Bill 700, the Florida Farm Bill, includes a provision prohibiting local governments from unilaterally adding fluoride to public drinking water. The legislation follows a November 2024 advisory by Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo cautioning against community water fluoridation due to potential health risks, particularly for pregnant women and children.

Senate Bill 56 repeals the state’s ability to issue permits for geoengineering and weather modification. The bill also prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity. Those who violate the law face third-degree felony charges, up to five years in prison, and fines up to $100,000.

The bill also includes key enforcement provisions. Beginning October 1, 2025, all publicly owned airports must report the presence of any aircraft equipped with weather modification or geoengineering equipment to the Florida Department of Transportation. Additionally, the Department of Environmental Protection will launch a public reporting portal to identify suspected violations, which will launch this summer.

These measures reinforce Florida’s commitment to protecting public health, preserving individual choice, and ensuring no government or corporation can unilaterally impose environmental or chemical risks on the public.

  • “Do you realize that fluoridation – is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?”

    • Fluoride is poison ☠️…they put it in our water because “the solution to pollution is dilution”…

      wonder what the ADA and my dentist have to say about this?

      the Nazis put flouride in the water to keep the people docile.

      April showers 🌧️ bring May flowers 🌺 …

      they are messing around in the ionosphere with that weather modification…

      We could sure use more rain 🌧️…

      “he who controls the weather controls the world 🌎 “.

      • It’s a nice gesture, but I don’t think DeSantis has jurisdiction in the ionosphere…federal law applies.

  • I am confused; Gov. Desantis took money he had no legal rights to. No government has spoken of these charges.

  • Ladopo is still a quack, dismissing years of study for personal gain.

  • These are important protections for citizens. The overreach of gov’t with mandates in response to the pandemic was terrible, but we are seeing some encouraging steps to limit gov’t and bolster freedom now that the excesses of gov’t control have been exposed.

    I’m thankful to live in the free state of Florida, and thankful that my children and grandchildren will be protected from being dosed by chemicals in the air and water without their knowledge or consent.

    Make America Healthy Again!

    • You’re being played Concerned by a dishonest quacks – see Ladapo’s manipulation of data – who deny successful health initiatives for political reasons.

      Those not getting the Covid vaccination were 2.5 times more likely to die from it than those who did.

      Flouride has improved and protected our children’s teeth for decades and was one of the most effective public health initiatives ever.

          • 3x marriage, 6 bankruptcies, corruption and hypocrisy is off the charts, lies and lies and lies is more than freakish. Friendship and association with Epstein child molester and sex trafficker ok with you?

          • OK, lets just call Trump a despicable human felon who was whore mongering with porn stars while his wife was pregnant and claims he gets away with p…y grabbing – he acts exactly the way we don’t want our kids to act everyday. How many times did you vote for him? I know you’re ashamed to say, but I answer one, then your turn.

  • When fluoridation began in 1945, it was virtually the only fluoride source. Now 70% of US children and adolescents are fluoride overdosed and afflicted with fluorosis (white spotted and yellow splotched teeth). Yet tooth decay is epidemic because fluoride is ubiquitous in our food supply, medicines, air pollution, absorbed from a glut of dental products and in higher concentrations.

    Tooth decay rates did go down from 1945 but it coincided with better dental hygiene, nutritional awareness, better access to dental care, foods were fortified such as Vit D fortified milk (Vitamin D does prevent tooth decay as does calcium found in milk) Fluoride is neither a nutrient nor essential for healthy teeth but a drug with side effects http://FluorideAlert.Org/Issues/health Tooth decay declined equally in fluoridated and non-fluoridated countries

    The following 3 recent well-done published studies show how fluoridation delivers little, if any, benefit:

    1) Cochrane Review https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD010856.pub3/full

    2) LOTUS Study https://sites.manchester.ac.uk/lotus/#resultswithndtv

    3) CATFISH Study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36469652/

    • What my dentist told me was that fluoride is beneficial when applied to the teeth, but harmful (and not efficient at protecting teeth) when ingested.

    • BS

      “A new review published Oct. 4 by the Cochrane Library contends community water fluoridation is less effective now than it was in the 1970s, but an expert committee of the ADA points out limitations and exclusions in the report.

      Researchers from the Universities of Manchester, Dundee and Aberdeen in the United Kingdom examined 157 studies— 135 on fluorosis and 22 on decay prevention — that compared communities in high-income countries that had fluoride added to their water with those that had no additional fluoride in the water. They conclude that the benefit of fluoridation has declined since the 1970s, when fluoride toothpaste became more widely available. However, they state “the impact of community water fluoridation in low- and middle-income countries is less clear, due to the absence of recent research.”

      “Optimally fluoridated water is accessible to communities regardless of socioeconomic status, education or other social variables,” said ADA President Linda J. Edgar, D.D.S. “Even in an era with widespread availability of fluoride from various sources, other studies show that community water fluoridation prevents at least 25% of tooth decay in children and adults throughout their life span. The scientific weight of sound evidence around the benefit of community water fluoridation is clear and compelling.”

      Following the review’s release, the ADA issued a statement saying it “believes the review does not present any new or significant findings on the subject” and the Association continues to endorse fluoridation as beneficial to oral health.”

  • DeSantis and Lapadoo-doo are a perfect. Both absolutely clueless. Enjoy your rotting teeth.

      • I did once. How many times have you voted for the low-life Trump?

          • Answer my question and we’ll have at it.

            You didn’t vote for that scum Trump more than once did you?

        • Three times for me 2015 election, 2020 election, and 2024 election. Funny all my votes were legal.

  • Experts said margarine was good for you too. Experts = 🤡🤡🤡

    • I have an old life magazine from 1943 with an advertisement for Camel cigarettes that says they are good for you.

  • WEATHER MODIFICATION 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 FASCIST LIARS IN THE GOP DRANK THE KOOLAID AND ASKED FOR MORE

  • This is for the unauthorized ones, who authorized and authorizes the rest?

    • That would be the US military as well as NATO military ops. Under the PREP Act those entities are provided a liability shield that supersedes state law. Same law was used as a liability shield during fake Covid pandemic.

      The PREP Act is currently invoked for countermeasures related to COVID-19, Marburg virus, Ebola, Zika, avian flu, RSV, monkeypox, anthrax, and smallpox. There are no pandemics or epidemics of these diseases in the United States, therefore, these declaration have no basis in reality, nor do they serve any public health interests. The PREP Act declaration has been extended thru Dec. 2029.

      So if we see spraying in the future it will be under the guise of a bioterrorism defense program, not geoengineering. But don’t worry…they’ll say it’s for our benefit…a prophylactic measure….

  • In other breaking news, Florida’s surgeon general has now authorized drilling holes in our heads to let demons out. Good, solid mental health treatment.

    • You’re confusing Democrats with Libertarians. It’s easy to these days.

  • The point is to not put ANYthing in public water supplies that isn’t absolutely needed. Seems like everyone could agree on that.
