People are always comparing Conservative leaders to Nazis, why doesn’t anyone every compare Rachel Carson to the Nazis? It turns out that 1 millions deaths per year could be prevented if DDT were still in use. Now I’m not saying bring back DDT, but since it was banned in 1972, something like 34 million excess deaths, mostly African women and children, have occurred due to malaria. It also turns out that malaria makes one more susceptible to HIV infection so there may be excess AIDS cases in Africa for lack of DDT. Where is the outrage? And why aren’t the same outrageous labels applied to Liberals as to Conservatives? It looks like this women is at indirectly responsible for a number of deaths somewhere between Hitler and Stalin (and still climbing).
