IT'S BAAAAACK. THE END OF DDT HAS RESULTED IN RAMPANT DISEASE AND HUMAN DEATH

"......let there be no mistake: Rachel Carson and the worldwide environmentalist movement are responsbile for perpetuating an ecological genocide......"
A must read at Front Page regarding the horrendous damage ENDING DDT spraying has wrought. Malaria is up 1,000 percent in South Africa as UN sponsored spraying fails to kill mosquitos and fleas;

"Malaria perpetuates poverty by debilitating people. Unable to work, its victims cannot afford to feed themselves or their children. Sick and malnourished, they are prone to a vicious cycle of future infection and debilitation," said Dr. Roger Bate, author of When Politics Kills: Malaria and the DDT Story. "To break the cycle, to save lives, it is imperative that we have all the tools, including DDT, that work to help control malaria, protect health and ensure development."

Sujatin, a resident from the Irian Jaya province Indonesia, told Smithsonian Magazine what it is like to live with malaria. "My husband works as a logger in the jungles. He's gone for weeks at a time and he gets malaria. It is a terrible thing to have. Sweating. Very bad headaches. High, high fever. You vomit. You are so weak...when malaria comes every few days, you feel like you want to die," she said.

"Malaria keeps Africa down, and down is where the rest of the world wants us to be. If this was a disease of the West, it would be gone," Mamadou Kasse, medical editor of Senegal's largest newspaper, Le Soleil, told Atlantic Monthly's Ellen Ruppel Shell for her August 1997 article, "Resurgence of a Deadly Disease."
Under fire is the junk science employed by Rachel Carson in her book "Silent Spring" which has been trashed by almost every reputable scientific group in the world, except for the environmental lobby. Disease......
slaughtering millions, mostly children and pregnant women -- one child every 15 seconds; 3 million people annually; and over 100 million people since 1972
Then there is this:
"This is like loading up seven Boeing 747 airliners each day, then deliberately crashing them into Mt. Kilimanjaro," said Dr. Wenceslaus Kilama, Malaria Foundation International Chairman.
Read the whole thing because Malaria has now returned to the United States after more than forty years and the only thing that kills the mosquitos is DDT. But the enrovos will back junk science over human life every time.
