Fighting about science. I love it and it is a welcome diversion from fighting about candidates which I’ve resolved not to do on this thread.
My son-in-law knows everything. Really. We were discussing mosquitoes the other day, one of the worst plagues sent to punish us. Malaria, of course, and now there is this new mosquito carried disease on the Islands that has a horrible effect on pregnant women.
So, I was griping about the banning of DDT ... how could it be worse than the plagues brought by mosquitoes.
He explained exactly the consequences of DDT but he also told me that Bill Gates is devoting his fortune to helping mankind and that he is concentrating on eradicating mosquitoes. He detailed three of the sophisticated methods Gates is investigating. Interesting.
Actually the banning of DDT is very controversial some think it could lessen the disease factor in Africa by an enormous amout others not so much.
