☆ Up to 10 hospital patients in Oregon died from tap water injections instead of fentanyl: report
  + stars: | 2023-12-31 | by ( Rebecca Rommen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A criminal investigation is underway at an Oregon hospital after multiple deaths, NBC5 News reportsThe deaths were reportedly caused by infections from tap water injections substituted for fentanyl. It is alleged that up to 10 patients died of infections contracted at the hospital. The sources claim the infections were caused by a nurse who purportedly substituted medication with tap water. The sources indicate that the unsterile tap water led to pseudomonas, a dangerous infection, especially for individuals in poor health, commonly found in a hospital's ICU. Tap water is especially ill-advised, as sterile alternatives should be readily available to healthcare professionals to ensure patient safety.

☆ Vermont town employee who quietly lowered fluoride in water for years resigns

A town employee who quietly lowered the fluoride in a Vermont community’s drinking water for years has resigned — and is asserting that the levels had actually been low for much longer than believed. While fluoridating municipal water is voluntary, Vermont towns that do “shall control the level of fluoride” within the state’s specified ranges, according to the state’s water supply rule. The Vermont Health Department said it does not regulate municipal water systems. Town Manager Josh Arneson said Thursday that he will review fluoride levels monthly and that the town’s Water and Sewer Commission will also look at the report. The addition of fluoride to public drinking water systems has been routine in communities across the United States since the 1940s and 1950s.

And, he said, he doesn’t think the state’s recommended level of fluoride is warranted right now. “For a single person to unilaterally make the decision that this public health benefit might not be warranted is inappropriate. “Fluoride, again, is one of the most successful and important public health measures that has ever been undertaken in this country,” Knowles said. The mineral was first added to public water in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1945. In sparsely populated and largely rural Vermont, 29 of the 465 public water systems voluntarily fluoridate, and just over half of residents served by a public system get fluoridated water, according to the Vermont Department of Health.
