From what I’ve read, iodine in the modern western diet is severely lacking.
The iodized salt thing isn’t worth a damn. Most of the iodine dissolves always before you ever use it.
The various studies of the high iodine consumption in Japan and their very low cancer rates is something to keep in mind.
And as far as I know, one of the major causes of thyroid issues is actually low iodine. There are certain thyroid issues (hashimotos) where you may want to avoid supplemental iodine, but I would certainly do my own research in that case.

This is intentional.
This is how they do it:
First, they find that X mineral/vitamin is NECESSARY for human health.
Then they fortify a staple food source with it. In this case, grocer's table salt.
Then, because everyone at the time they do that eats the necessary amount of table salt, everyone is getting iodine. Because of this, they stop putting it in everything else.
Years pass, people forget about the fact they need iodine in their diet, and the plan finally comes to fruition.
They start marketing alternatives to the staple, stop using it in the majority of recipes, and even add things to it (preservatives, heavy metal dyes, corn syrup) to make it less palatable.
Then, fast food phases out iodized salt in favor of trendy rock salt or sea salt.
Eventually, the staple is no longer widely consumed, yet they CONTINUE to use studies from the past saying the majority consume salt on a regular basis.
What they leave out is that the majority of that salt is no longer iodized. They conflate the iodized table salt with other forms salt and what you have is a planned health crisis only they know about.
They put you on pills for all the symptoms of iodine deficiency and never test for it at your physical, because why test for something that you can get out of a salt shaker, per the now-ancient studies?
Eventually, the "normal" levels of iodine are tweaked to this manufactured average, and even if you get tested specifically for iodine, the "normal" levels would have been considered deficient 50 years ago.
They've done this for just about everything. One they took too far was Vitamin D. Milk doesn't have that much on its own, especially skim. So they fortified it. Then, they started promoting almond, soy, goat, and any other form of milk than the one that has the actual vitamin in it.
In the same spread, they also make GMO foods to be high-calorie, fast growth, high water, and LOW mineral and vitamin with the excuse people just get it from the staple foods per the outdated studies. GMOs aren't as much for chemically damaging people, though some like soy still do, but to actually feed people something that is nutrient deficient - something that only provides calories and actually TAKES nutrients from your body as it tries to process it.
Generations of nutrient deficiency leads to a dumber and dumber population. Dumb people are easier to control. That's the plan.
Good insight!! Let's not forget adding fluoride to our water, which is a neurotoxin but they will claim all day that it helps protect teeth (regardless if that claim is correct, why then are we then ingesting it in our water, versus topically applying it??). I also recently read that one of the reasons Americans are so overweight in response to other countries is because of our fortified grains (with iron and such). If they stopped adding all that crap to our food, maybe we would actually be healthy!! And therein lies the problem...
From my research, obesity is caused by overuse of antibiotics in children, especially within about the first 7 months of life.
It kills off gut bacteria of the mother, and since the child's immune system is never given a chance to figure out what bacteria is good and what bacteria is bad, it treats all future bacteria as bad.
That leads to further nutrient deficiency and they have unstoppable cravings because of it. The food industry likewise provides high calorie foods and sugary foods with watered down nutrients. Eventually, they are conditioned by these circumstances to associate the rewarded dopamine for eating nutrients their body needs (but because of antibiotics they cannot metabolize) with the dopamine hit from sugary foods.
Oddly enough, immunosuppressants could help obese people if you treat it in childhood, before middle school, and then give them frequent fecal transplants from people with healthy digestive flora. I'd wager it would be effective, but I don't have any direct sources on this point.
Some cases require antibiotics for babies, sure, but not addressing the vacuum it leaves behind in the digestive system should also be of paramount importance.

Oh so that's why south park joked about fecal transplants. Thought that one came out of left field.
