Rachel Carlson was instrumental in having DDT banned ... since then, hundred of thousands of pregnant women and children have died from malaria ...Malaria remains a major public health challenge in many countries. 2008 WHO estimates were 243 million cases, and 863,000 deaths. About 89% of these deaths occur in Africa, and mostly to children under the age of 5.
I think it was Rachel Carson, not Rachel Carlson, but I agree with you, she was evil.
