You can file the mistrust of government under Nothing New under the Sun. For example, the next town over to where I live refused to fluoridate for two decades. The Water Department began adding fluoride to
the city’s water in 1950. They waited a month to tell residents, fueling rumors of communist plots. Those conspiracy rumors are still around. It wasn't until 1972 that the voters allowed fluoride in the city's water.
