Most people erroneously believe DDT was banned in the US. It wasn't.Good thing we cut back its use and don't use it agricultural ly anymore. Places like India didn't, and now it's worthless for vector control. Mosquitoes in India are immune to it.
if you had read item #8, you would know the reasons. The bottomliNE is DDT has saved far more lives than were lost from it. No wonder the inventor won a Nobel prize, back in the pre-Algore/Obama days when it meant something.
You evidently didn't read #8 and what I wrote. #8 confirms what I wrote --that agricultural use, not vector control, resulted in ending its effectiveness.
