I just can't imagine being so simple minded that I would ignore actual science, and instead equate ingesting fluoride with a way they've seen people stare? It's just so insanely stupid, all of it.

Its not hard for people to believe, the lead stare exists. Scientists have lied on behalf of tobacco and fossil fuel lobbies. Its got all the soil for a believable conspiracy theory to grow.

And independents scientists called them out. I haven't heard anyone trying to claim that fluorine is dangerous.

There is a very big difference, that they don't understand, between "a scientist said" and "scientific consensus". This (sometimes purposeful) misunderstanding comes from their fundamental refusal to understand what science actually is.
