If only we had a solution to this problem. Oh wait, we do. Malaria used to be endemic in the USA[1]. The solution is basically carpet bombing DDT for several years to wipe out the diseased mosquito population. But some idiot do-gooder decided to raise a fuss about songbirds so now we continue to have hundreds of thousands of human beings needlessly die. And of course we now know that the birds recovered just fine. What’s worse the so-called responsible uses of DDT like infused netting are just artificially selecting for DDT resistance without wiping out the disease reservoir as was done in the USA. Edit: fascinating that people think a few generations of songbirds whose populations fully recovered are more important than 700,000 human lives a year.
