Don't be fooled, fluoridation is beneficial and helps the most vulnerable communities the most.

****Noteworthy: TINY WHITE SPOTS INSIDE YOUR MOUTH ARE A SIGN YOU ARE INFECTED. If you have the spots, you are contagious. These mouth white spots show up before the skin rash.

The Guardian Article gives a clear explanation of the current status of measles outbreak as well as signs and symptoms and spread of MEASLES. Please read.

"How do I know if I have measles and what are the symptoms?
You may not know you have measles right away because symptoms typically emerge one to two weeks after exposure. Around that time, you might develop a cough, runny nose, red and watery eyes, and high fever, according to the CDC. At this point you might assume you have the flu, but in another two to three days you may find tiny white spots inside your mouth, Bednarczyck says, which “is a clear giveaway” for measles."
