Each year, 300 to 500 million people develop malaria and 1.5 to 3 million–mostly children–die -- World Health Organization
The tsunami will probably end up killing 150,000 to 200,000 people directly and indirectly from wounds, infections and disease...
(34 * 3,000,000) = 102 million
Excellent point - thanks.
The vast majority of those Malaria deaths can be prevented by applying DDT. But since the media decided decades ago that DDT was BAD, it can't be used to stop the suffering.
An interesting, but little reported story on the WTC - there is a chance that the WTC could have survived the effects of the fires, had they used asbestos insulation over their steel framing - but the media decided that asbestos was BAD, and drove our government to outlaw it also, just as the bottom floors of the WTC were being built.
My only point - the media has so much blood on its hands that it offends me when they report a story like this - to this extent.
