The testimony of Dr. Edwards and others during Environmental Protection Agency hearings in 1971 on whether to ban the insecticide led to an EPA administrative law judge ruling that, “DDT is not a carcinogenic hazard to man. DDT is not a mutagenic or teratogenic hazard to man. The uses of DDT under the regulations involved here do not have a deleterious effect on freshwater fish, estuarine organisms, wild birds or other wildlife.”

And then the largest mass-murdering environmentalist of all time for personal and political motives banned DDT all on his little lonesome and consigned many tens of millions to death and billions to disease and misery.

Maybe I wasn’t clear. Dr. Edwards strongly opposed the ban on DDT.
