Toilets != sanitation
One plausible example of toilets causing harm is if it's a very poor rural area.
The existing outhouse works fine, spending money on getting a toilet and connecting it to running water would not be the wise choice as that money would have been better spent on other things first, such as sending the kids to school, buying them a uniform so they don't get bullied by the other kids, buying a solar panel plus a battery so they have some semi-stable electricity, etc...
i.e. it's impossible for it to be an unmitigated good in the real world, where there's resource scarcity and many uses of said resources.
So unless you have some credible proof otherwise, the default assumption for me and passing readers will be that they are opinions.
