Even if true, which as you note it isn't, it doesn't matter. While in developed countries it is usually illegal for any use, there is no global ban on its use for vector control. Especially when used in the most effective ways which is to spray walls and treat sleep netting. Now it is banned for agricultural use, primarily because it tends to be overused and creates resistant populations. Which makes its use for vector control, well, useless. As we have seen repeatedly. When the Right waves around a case where malaria or yellow fever has flared up because spraying programs have been halted, it is usually because the mosquito populations have become resistant because of overuse of DDT. It is never the case because the evil environmentalists have interfered. Facts really do matter.
