The executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) asserts that a lifting of the ban on DDT could prevent the spread of the Zika virus, just as it could have wiped out malaria.
Dr. Jane Orient tells Breitbart News the major public health measure required to combat the Zika virus pandemic is mosquito control and says, "DDT was the most effective public health weapon of all time."
Orient continues:
The ban on DDT was basically the decision of one man, William Ruckelshaus, going against a mountain of evidence on safety and enormous health benefits. It was said that, "If they can ban DDT, they can ban anything." And that's how the EPA power grab started. Millions of African babies have died and are still dying of malaria because if it.

Its the soft egg shells.
Yes, banning things that actually benefit people happens when liberals are in charge.
But the birds!!!
I agree. Several million people have died because of the greenies and their trumped up claims about how bad DDT is.
Many billions will suffer and probably more millions will die if people take the Climate Change Scam as far as the environazis would like it to go.
BUMP
Oooohhh, suuuuuurrre, now that First Worlders are threatened we can consider it again!!!
WELL DUH..and no need for skeeter nets in Africa..
The next biggest HOAX is CFC’s and the ozone later.
Imagine you are a multi-billion dollar company.
And you own the patent on a coolant. Not just any coolant, but the best that was ever invented. Nothing else comes close.
AND...
The patent is about to expire. Your competitors can start making it, and there goes your $billions on profits.
So, you launch a campaign to ban your own product.
And the next best available product is ALSO your product.
Sure, it does not work as well and is caustic and requires specialized equipment to use- you can sell all those too...

Duh.
My understanding is that there is no valid science behind banning it in the first place; That it was an ill-informed, unilateral decision by a bureaucrat in charge of the EPA.
Do some even read?? DDT causes more frequent, and WORSE, birth defects. No. No DDT.
Good Lord.
Rachael Carson? Did she get buried with a spatula?
Or was that another Rachael I’m thinking of?
“If they can ban DDT, they can ban anything.” And that’s how the EPA power grab started. Millions of African babies have died and are still dying of malaria because if it.”
Exactly, “Millions of African babies have died and are still dying of malaria because if it” population control. That’s why DDT was banned and why it will not be used against “Zika”.
Really? None of the research I've ever seen on the product has even hinted at this. It was all about avian issues, which were disproven by Fish and Wildlife.
There are people today who used to run around in the fog of the DDT trucks, they had kids, and those kids had kids. Where are the birth defects?
Rachel Carson is the biggest mass-murderer in history. Only Mao comes close, but his body count is shy by 50 million or so.
That was Rachael Corrie.
But don’t stop, you’re on a roll ;)
Progressives are all about death, but like to couch it in the term, “population control.” They have no problem with the perpetuation of malaria in the third world.
if the government starts spraying something in the air, and telling us it’s for our “health”, forgive me if I don’t believe them.
