Read here. The environmental jihad to ban DDT has caused deaths from malaria that exceed 60,000,000 humans. Look again, that is 60 million deaths caused by environmental lunatics. The DDT ban was a political response based on bogus science that the EPA acted on. The result? It ended up causing African deaths beyond comprehension - your big government at work.
"Published in 1962, Silent Spring used manipulated data and wildly exaggerated claims (sound familiar?) to push for a worldwide ban on the pesticide known as DDT – which is, to this day, the most effective weapon against malarial mosquitoes. The Environmental Protection Agency held extensive hearings after the uproar produced by this book… and these hearings concluded that DDT should not be banned. A few months after the hearings ended, EPA administrator William Ruckleshaus over-ruled his own agency and banned DDT anyway, in what he later admitted was a “political” decision....The use of DDT reduces the spread of mosquito-borne malaria by fifty to eighty percent, so its discontinuation quickly produced an explosion of crippling and fatal illness. The same environmental movement which has been falsifying data, suppressing dissent, and reading tea leaves to support the global-warming fraud has studiously ignored this blood-drenched “hockey stick” for decades."
Was DDT the environmental disaster, as portrayed by Rachael Carson, really true? Spend a few minutes and read this. The bad science of DDT of yesterday resembles the bad science of global warming today.
