- soperj 6y agoMalaria is a completely different disease than Polio. Thanks.
- maxerickson 6y agoRight, I didn't add any context in my first comment, but the point is that DDT and mosquito control were an important component of disease control in the United States, regardless of whether polio is relevant to the discussion or not.
- soperj 6y agoThat's exactly what my comment was about though, polio isn't relevant.
