re: #165 researchok

The problems are all the same as they were the last time you brought up this stuff.

A) DDT was never banned for use in vector control, which is where it’s actually useful in fighting disease.

B) It was banned in agricultural use, as a general pesticide, and for mass continual sprayings, because doing so quickly breeds immune mosquitoes.

B1) This can be easily seen in areas where it was overused, and where there are now lots of DDT resistant mosquitoes

C) The effects of DDT in the ecosystem are real, and understood, and the completely speculative science of people completely outside the field, which is what you’ve got in the report you cite, is silly.
