Could there be a cure… — 7 Comments

  1. I don’t understand why you’ve posted about this – or why you posted about the issue in the past. I have it on great authority that conservatives (and especially neocons!) are all evil and lacking in compassion. This is no time to be muddying those waters – infested with mosquito larvae as they undoubtedly are.

  2. Thanks, Rachel Carson. Millions have died due to your erroneous beliefs, or supposed beliefs, about DDT. I pray that this potential cure is one that delivers on its promise.

  3. “Malaria mortality rates have fallen”. There is a fraud going on in Africa where Malaria deaths are transcribed as Aids deaths to inflate the aids epidemic. Why? Simple. There is money in aids, big money. Keep the stats high and the money keeps flowing in.

  4. We have a fair amount of malaria in Southeast Asia, too. Not in the big cities like Bangkok or Jakarta, but out in the back country. Thailand has probably done the most to wipe out this ancient scourge, but you still have to be careful in rural areas. Same thing in Indonesia. No problem in Java or Bali, but out in West Papua or inland Kalimantan, better take your meds.

  5. The DDT debate will never become irrelevant. It is, to my and many minds, the modern equivalent of the Holocaust. It was a choice people made, for the rest of the world, based on known false scientific understandings, and used to murder millions, perhaps in congruency with the other methods, a billion people. It was done by people who disclaim even the notion of prejudice and point fingers like hyenas, raising every uncle Tom they can find in their ranks, and attacking any who deny their king with no clothes. Abortion is next on the list, but I’m not holding my breath.

    Let life be, let it choose, grow, live, and die. We shouldn’t have a hand in it, let economics and other factors support or deny what it takes to live. That is the final answer. Anything else is pure, unmitigated, murder.

  6. Oh, and despite the lift on the ban, the use of DDT is still quite restricted for fear that the EU won’t take “tainted grain” in whatever bogus trade scam they have going on with most African nations. So… the ban pretty much is still mostly intact. Just… so you know.
