The EPA can’t ban the insecticide for the entire world....(not that I should excuse the epa for anything)...if millions of African babies died of it, it was because the African nations banned the substance or couldn’t afford it!

“or couldn’t afford it!”

They could afford to buy it, but they can’t afford the infrastructure to make it.

I know it’s the UN and WHO and efforts worldwide. The EPA was used in this country. DDT was being widely used in Africa before the ban and Malaria was in decline. I believe DDT was primarily being funded for use in Africa by the UN (US) and WHO (US). I believe letting Malaria spread is population control.
