Newspapers can't take a stand against the right-wing disinformation machine in one op-ed & promote it in the next
If you don't reject right-wing disinformation outright, you've made the choice - you're a cog in the machine

I haven't read this one (and I suspect you haven't either, since you didn't post a link to it.)
But I can tell you that my daughter (with multiple immune deficiencies, who tries to avoid unnecessary food additives, and who voted for Harris) is of the opinion that fluoride should be used as a topical rather than ingested.
So there are people on the left who believe fluoride should not be party of our water supply.

I'm not yet at the point where I agree with it, because the impact of it (to the extent there is one) would fall on poor communities drinking from public water supplies without access to dental care. But ingesting fluoride is not without risk (is the reason they tell you to not eat toothpaste - and any medication that contains fluoride had to have a warning label attached.). And, as my daughter says, there are other ways to ensure everyone has access to fluoride they don't have to ingest.
