Malaria is an interesting case. It was our sympathies for the poor little birdies dying of DDT that doomed millions of people to death. Next time you hear about the wicked conservatives, just remember that most of the mass murders of the world have come from the left...with moral righteousness and absurdity combined in full force.
Still, there's something sensible (in a primal way) about our sympathies for one suffering servant, but not a hundred. When that many people are dying it strongly suggests that the malady is an epidemic...and that our best strategy is evasion.
- Tichy 19y agoI don't know the story very well, just wondering: what were people doing before DDT was even invented? I am guessing that because of DDT the structure of the population changed, so that when it was taken away, millions of people were exposed to Malaria, who would not even have existed without DDT?
