Blacked-out: Every Single Word from 2 of the Region’s Pro-fluoridation “Experts”

I don’t understand why the Peel Public Health will say that there’s no evidence of any harm when we clearly have published the effects on bone and teeth. I’m flabbergasted.

–Dr. Hardy Limeback, BSc, PhD, DDS, former head of Preventive Dentistry at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto, a position he served for 18 years, and former President of the Canadian Association for Dental Research, co-author of the prestigious 2006 NRC report “FLUORIDE IN DRINKING WATER: A Scientific Review of EPA’s Standards“, at the illegally closed Regional Council meeting on artificial water fluoridation, January 2016 (on page 49 of the heavily redacted transcript that the Regional Clerk refuses to post online unless specifically ordered to by Council, obtained by FFP via a Freedom of Information request)

The Region continues to withhold from the public all sections of their audio recording of Council’s illegally closed January fluoridation meeting, even though it was formally requested under MFIPPA on August 9th, 2016 and even though our appeal to the Information and Privacy Commissioner’s Office (IPC) confirmed the following facts that were conveyed by the IPC to Regional Staff in late November:

1) the IPC encourages institutions to release upon request any records that don’t contain personal information, and

2) sections of the audio that contain personal information that the person involved consented to having released should have been released no later than November 17th, which was the final deadline for the entire Freedom of Information request process.

On November 30th, 2016, after much unnecessary delay, the Region finally released a partial written transcript (no audio, and no explanation as to why they would not provide the audio) of the January meeting.  It contains several serious typos in the names of publication authors, such that the average reader could not know which studies were being discussed.  Worse, every single word from 2 of the Region’s 3 pro-fluoridation “experts” was blacked-out. 

It seems that neither Dr. Juurlink nor Dr. Allukian take sufficient pride in the quality and integrity of their PAID expert assessments to have them subjected to public scrutiny.

Note that the Region has not posted this transcript on their 2016 Council Minutes archives webpage where it rightfully belongs (along with the audio files and presentation materials that they continue to withhold) given that the public was illegally prevented from attending this meeting, even though a formal and perfectly legitimate request was made on September 8th, 2016, for them to do so (see page 11, here).

Also note that Staff cited sections 10 (1) (b) and (c) of MFIPPA as justification for redacting the majority of the redacted sections.  This will be challenged on appeal to the Information and Privacy Commissioner’s office.

At 5:40 in the video below, witness Dr. Howard Pollick, one of the pro-fluoridation experts who presented at the illegally closed Peel meeting, rationalize making tap water unfit for infants at a San Diego meeting. Dr. Pollick recommended distilled water for mixing infant formula.  The Region does not bother to pass this recommendation, which is made by many experts, along to Peel’s parents.

Update, Tue, Jan 31, 2017: “corrected” version of fluoridation transcript still has same errors

Dear Kathryn,
 
I just received the “corrected” version of the transcript (attached), and it still has most of the typos that I pointed out to you a month and a half ago.
 
It still says “Grangan” instead of “Grandjean” on page 14.
 
Page 15 still says “That’s bad science when you don’t even look, concluding that the absence of study is the same as the absence of heart, which of course is nonsense”
 
when it should read
 
That’s bad science when you don’t even look, concluding that the absence of study is the same as the absence of HARM, which of course is nonsense.
Page 16 still says “slang” instead of slaying“.
 
When you send me a corrected “corrected” version, would you please email it to me rather than sending it by snail mail, as per my explicit request right from the beginning?
 
Also, what prevents you from posting it online along with the meeting minutes as discussed last year at a Council meeting?  Does Staff require a motion from Council for every document that gets posted on the Region’s website?  I don’t see what the issue is when it has already been lawfully released to me under MFIPPA.
 
Best wishes,
Christine
