FORBES' RICH KARLGAARD ASKS how many people died because of Rachel Carson? Instapundit.com <<< Buried in paragraph 27, and paraphrasing the Congressman, The Washington Post concedes that "numerous" deaths might have been prevented by DDT. Let's stop here. Any curious reader would ask, Just how "numerous" is numerous? Wouldn't you ask that question? The Post never asks that question. Why? Because the answer devastates Rachel Carson and her followers. According to these CDC figures, malaria kills more than 800,000 children under age five every year. Every year, 800,000 small children die from malaria, a disease once nearly eradicated. Ponder that. And all The Washington Post can say is "numerous?" That's scandalous. >>> More on that subject linked below.
