Love it when it snows

Thanks to Rachel Carson and her diatribe against DDT in her book "Silent Spring," written in 1962, subsequently causing DDT to be abandoned world-wide, millions in Third World countries have died from malaria.

What a load of hooey.

Well let's see... 
Did Rachel Carson write Silent Spring? She did.
Was it involved in getting DDT banned? It was.
Was DDT then banned? It was.
Did millions die of malaria? They did.
So which part is hooey?

Splain it to me.

If you read the article, you'd understand. Just because it's the New York Times, reading it won't burn your eyes. Every point you bring up is addressed.

That 'nuff "splainin'?

All the best,Nonoise

DDT was banned by the Nixon administration and only in the US with exceptions for health issues. Millions died from malaria because countries abandoned effective uses. It worked, they thought they had it beat, they quit using it. They didn't  so they had to start again. Another reason for the resurgence of malaria is caused by that other conservative boogeyman evolution. It was already loosing its  effectiveness in the 1950's. Mosquitoes became immune to it from over use so now they rotate different chemicals and naturally mosquitoes are becoming immune to those which is why they are working more on vaccines now. 
Which part was hooey? All of it.
Did I explain that.

Well Miller credibility has certainly taken a sharp downhill hairpin into the daisies.
