Even if the malarial death figures were exaggerated by a full order of magnitude (and I doubt they'd be off by that much!) we'd *still* be talking about millions of deaths.<br /><br /><br />- MJMMichael J.

Having just read <a href="http://www.panna.org/issues/persistent-poisons/the-ddt-story" rel="nofollow">this</a> web page, and notably, this paragraph:<br /><br /><i>"Attacks on Carson from groups like The Competitive Enterprise Institute and Africa Fighting Malaria portray DDT as the simple solution to malaria, and blame Carson for “millions of deaths in Africa.” <b>Many of these DDT promoters are also in the business of denying climate change and defended the tobacco industry by denying the health harms of smoking.</b></i><br /><br /><br />I'm inclined to think that banning DDT was in some way agenda driven.nisakimannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-71981391012101368762014-04-18T11:56:32.860+01:002014-04-18T11:56:32.860+01:00If those who believe in Freedom,Liberty,Choice,Jus...If those who believe in Freedom,Liberty,Choice,Justice and Democracy wish<br />to defend those values,they will have to forget fair play,procedures,conventions,nice guy protocols,due process and all other<br />civilised approaches.

At least 86 percent of these deaths are in sub-Saharan Africa. <br />I think banning DDT for 30 years has resulted in millions of deaths.
