DDT is still allowed and used to control malaria. Silent Spring hasn’t killed anyone.

And to say Silent Spring hasn’t killed anyone requires the adverb ‘directly’ - because indirectly, it is easy to argue that millions did die where DDT could have been used.

To make the argument, I would use the Socratic method and start with the question - why is malaria not a problem in the US?
