DDT is still used in the WWE. My brothers messed me up with it as a kid.
you joke, but a causal link was never found between DDT and the thinning of bird's eggs...
The DDT scenario was one of the first hallmark moments that national policy was established by screwy data in the name of environmentalism. Choosing “Saving” birds over the betterment of mankind. DDT was on its way to save thousands upon millions of lives in 3rd world countries but we let Bill Gates send them vaccines instead.
Funny thing is IVT has been taken as a preventative in those countries for decades... lol
Came here to say this. My father was an entomologist and always told me that DDT was instrumental in mosquito control in countries that were suffering badly from malaria....
It was completely demonized and nixed from use, much like other things that actually solve problems...
sadly, I learned about it from Michael Critchton. His book, "state of fear," was an early, low dose redpill for me. Guy wrote thesises (thesi?) about subjects and then turned them into great books, and he included sources as well.
Yet I was made to read "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson in biology class in high school.
dunno the book, but I assume it's some propaganda book about how DDT was going to kill all the birds?
It was required reading in a lot of classrooms back in the late 60s. Carson was against all poisons.
