I don't think either the vaccination or iodised salt analogy is valid.
Vaccinations are not compulsory, although obviously are much encouraged because it has been mass vaccination that has essentially conquered dreadful diseases like polio, smallpox etc. People who do not believe in it are permitted not to have their children vaccinated.
Completely different from mass medication of the water supply.

Ditto iodised salt. This is simply available for those who wish to use it. There is no problem in buying various types of salt which have no iodine added. So again, not comparable with mass fluoridation of the water supply where the majority of the population has little choice but to drink from tap water, unless they have the funds to install reverse osmosis filters.

So did his concerns prompt you to do any research about the potential damage to vulnerable individuals in consuming fluoride?

Exactly. Plus the fact that just a tiny proportion of this medicated water is actually consumed by people.
Most of it gets flushed down the toilet, used in showers and baths, and poured on to gardens.
How on earth is that cost effective?
