Perhaps so, but, as we well know (some of us who pay attention), South Africa (and Rhodesia) was an international pariah for many years and went virtually its own way in everything. However, the REST of Africa and many other parts of the world where the malaria-carrying mosquito lives has NOT been able to use DDT due to the banning and the refusal of the countries that could have MADE it to sell DDT to the countries most in need of it. This has been documented well over the decades, sadly, and has led to the needless deaths of scores of millions, which can be laid directly at the door of the enviro-nazis. Just as man-made global warming can ALSO be laid at the door of power-hungry politicians and their “green” supporters.

"However, the REST of Africa and many other parts of the world where the malaria-carrying mosquito lives has NOT been able to use DDT due to the banning and the refusal of the countries that could have MADE it to sell DDT to the countries most in need of it."

1 - DDT is manufactured and available on the market.

2 - DDT has never been subject to an international ban for the prevention of malaria in the tropics. It is its broader application specifically in agriculture that was banned.

"This has been documented well over the decades..."

It has been well propagandized by a few

"Just as man-made global warming can ALSO be laid at the door of power-hungry politicians and their “green” supporters."

I'm not even sure where you are going with this except to vent a little.

So a quick question. Why is it that in all the areas of the world that malaria has been eradicated and successfully prevented from reemerging, including the U.S., DDT plays no part in a mosquito control program?
