There has been mefloquine and malarone-resistant malaria in the border regions of Thailand/Cambodia and Thailand/Burma for 45 years. Artemesin resistance was only a matter of time.

End the DDT ban if they are serious - but of course, they are not.

They won’t allow DDT. Mosquitoes are more important than humans.

DDT

It's like magic. It is why the USA is malaria free. We eliminated the disease then we forced the end of the use of DDT so that the rest of the world should continue to suffer with malaria. DDT has since been proved to be harmless to virtually everything but its target and still we suffer rom the ideology that DDT must remain verboten.

Rachel Carson never had a PhD.

Her specialty was fish.

She was a lesbian.
