That's why I laughed when Bill and Melinda Gates promised $10 million for mosquito netting to send to Africa. If they really wanted to save lives, they'd have lobbied to repeal the ban on DDT.
You beat me too it!
Though one could argue that wasn’t her intent. Perhaps the people to really blame are the western politicians who gave her nonsense power. Also there is the public who allowed themselves to be stampeded into accepting her as an environmental guru!
I disagree. A truly evil person intends the consequences of their evil acts. I doubt that Rachel Carson intended to kill millions of people. In contrast, Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao, Castro, Kim, Cromwell, Robespierre, and many others, intended to kill, and they did with evil in their hearts.
And that dickless feck Williian Ruckleshouse, 1st EPA administrator under Dick Nixon, who read and re-read Silent Spring then completely ignored his own scientists findings and banned DDT.
