DFDT = Dangerously Famous Donald Trump

[Louis Foxwell]

Who writes this crap? There has never been a proven case of DDT poisoning. Families in Appalacia used it as a tonic and a wormer for their children. Millions of children have died because it was not used to control malaria.
The only reason DDT was banned was because a false claim of thinning falcon eggshells was made by Rachel Carson. By the time her research emerged the falcons were already increasing in numbers.
President Johnson allowed DDT to be banned as a sop to environmental pressure. No science has ever been presented justifying this action.

“Chemistry researchers had been examining the insecticide DDT, known for its devastating environmental effects. “

The only “devastating environmental effects” were the deaths of mosquitos and mosquito borne diseases.

[Balding_Eagle]

This will be a godsend until the Liberals realize that it actually works and brown babies aren’t dying.

Essentially, that’s what happened with DDT.

[Renkluaf]

Chemistry researchers had been examining the insecticide DDT, known for its devastating environmental effects.

Name one documented devastating environmental effect?

[jonascord]

"No science has ever been presented justifying this action."

Since when has scientific rigor EVER had anything to do with environmental laws?

[minnesota_bound]

They have also overlooked the nazi moonbase.

N&V, you are going to have to change the Tshirts. We are #1 on front. What do you propose for the back?

[Manuel OKelley]

Having contracted malaria myself some years ago, pissing on Rachel Carson’s grave is definitely on my bucket list.

Unfortunately she is buried in a place I’d rather not go.

[BusterDog]

We cannot use the chemical, that would be cultural appropriation.

[The Great RJ]

Wind farms probably kill more bald eagles than DDT and Rachel Carson’s ginned up research that lead to DDT bring banned probably allowed millions to die of malaria. The media never reports either.

[fieldmarshaldj]

She’s buried in Rockville, Maryland.

[1Old Pro]

Good, time to set up the foggers

[I got the rope]

DDT does not have devastating effects on the environment. That has always been a lie.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Ironic that Rachel Carson is responsible for the deaths of millions as was Hitler

[Manuel OKelley]

Hence my aversion to going to the location;)

[Deaf Smith]

DDT is still being used in many countries with no reports of environmental devastation or even slight harm.

DDT is manufactured and exported by China, India and N Korea.

[null and void]

An image of a mosquito with “We’re #2”?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Is it Rockville or Maryland you’re particularly averse to visit ?

[Falcon4.0]

I consider myself a test case for the effects DDT. In the 60’s, we would ride our bikes through the cloud of the DDT sprayers that came down our streets once a week. 60 Yrs and no problems. Small sample, but ...?
