This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition To prevent the addition of flouride and lithium into UK water supplies.
To remove/prevent any added fluoride or lithium from the water supply, and only allow the cleaning of water to take place. It is the choice of the public to be medicated, and should not be done without consent. There is no clear evidence that fluoride is safe for long term consumption (cancer risk).
More details
The NHS website states: 'Consent to treatment means a person must give permission before they receive any type of medical treatment, test or examination.'
For the Gov to add anything to the water other than for cleaning, would mean that they are medicating the public without consent. It is gross negligence of the publics welfare, and is a direct violation of Articles 3 and 8. It pertains to article 3 as it is degrading and inhumane; Article 8 as it means that private lives are not respected.
