Make Chinese Anti-Malarial Drug Makers Caught

Make Chinese Anti-Malarial Drug Makers Caught

Every so often some op. ed. writer infers that all of today's "environmentalists" are responsible for the malaria-caused deaths of innocent children, by association with the actions of those who, years ago, sought to limit the use of DDT, mainly in North America (where malaria occurs barely at all). It seems to have become one of the main tactics in the Think Tank tool box. Perhaps because character attack can be counted on to provide temporary cover from the significant issues at hand.

We wrote about the early efforts at DDT control, ad nauseum; but learned that our efforts to add historic perspective do little more than draw out life of the party commenters.

Thankfully, there are plenty of forward looking people who are willing to work at getting malaria incidence rates down, and, hopefully, many others who will be inspired by the following tale of scientific rationalism.
