There was no telling him otherwise. He died in 1986 and firmly believed "ozone" that they talked about on the news was because we sent space ships up and poked a hole in it.

He also thought flouride in the water made people's insides glow.

No social media. No idea where he got it... but there was no talking to him on this.
