Africa Fighting Malaria: "On its website, the conservation organization, WWF, says it has found 'sufficient evidence of hazards to human health and wildlife to justify a global ban on the production and use of DDT'.
WWF says the pesticide could harm human health by damaging the developing brain, causing hypersensitivity, behavioural abnormalities and a suppressed immune system. "
Well, we and the Europeans used DDT for years to eradicate insects that caused diseases like malaria. If the human problems were evident, then we should see all those problems in folks my age. We don't. So, what would a reasonable person make of the WWF's statements? Absolute, hooey.
In a companion piece the UN programs that have failed to even successfully slow down the rate of increase in malaria, need more money. Seems like the enviro's are satisfied at the death rate and the UN just wants more money to keep its people well and uselessly employed.
