The debate over the use of DDT was "settled" as far as the media an the environmentalists were considered.
Their lies, distortions, and omissions had successfully doomed millions of Africans and South Americans to disease and death by denying them the ability to control disease vectors.
Any second or third world country that wanted to obtain DDT found it was no longer made, and any attempting to manufacture their own found themselves in the crosshairs of multinational environmental groups and organizations like the UN.
Now that bedbugs have developed resistance to the chemicals used in lieu of DDT and Americans now face an epidemic of biting insects, even in Uber Liberal cities like New York, some are arguing again for DDT.
I did some research years ago and discovered that DDT had been falsely maligned by the left, starting with Rachel Carson and her book of lies; Silent Spring.
This book is thought of by many as the seminal work behind the environmental movement (fitting that organizations steeped in lies started with them).
People have believed, as I once did, that DDT moves into the food chain and causes harm all the way to the apex predators.
Studies over the years (ignored by the press) have shown that DDT is not only far less harmful than believed, it can be used in ways that have maximum impact on disease vectors with minimum environmental impact.
So, maybe now that actual Liberals are feeling the bite, if not contracting diseases, they will reconsider DDT.
Then again, maybe it will take an influx of Dengue fever to shake them enough to see the truth.
