1. Where is there a case for DDT?

    The World Health Organization, the world's lead agency in fighting malaria, is also the organization that runs the administration of the Persistent Organic Pollutants Treaty, the Stockholm Convention.

    So, if the world's leading malaria fighters are not calling for DDT, why do you think they err?  Since they are the experts in the matter, what evidence is there that they are grossly wrong?

    Are you considering that India, the world's greatest user of DDT, has not been able to eradicate malaria?  Clearly DDT is not a magic bullet.  Have you considered that there are other, better methods to fight malaria?

    Why not do what the malaria fighting experts ask?  What makes you think they do not have the welfare of potential malaria victims at heart?
