Junk Science: DDT Backlash Continues

"Ever since the World Health Organization reversed the environmentalist-promoted ban on DDT in 2006, eco-activists have scrambled to devise new ways to malign the life-saving insecticide in order to salvage their badly marred reputation.

Their latest effort involves touting a new study supposedly linking DDT exposure in adolescent girls with increased breast cancer risk in later life. The study was authored by researchers from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine — an institution infamous for alarmist research on asbestos and 9-11 rescue workers — and was published in Environmental Health Perspectives, a journal that seems to operate as a refuge for alarmist research.

The study first came to my attention via a letter by John Peterson Myers published in The Wall Street Journal (Aug. 25) entitled “Stop Pushing DDT.” Aficionados of health scares will recall that Myers was a co-author of the 1996 book “Our Stolen Future,” which fomented fears about chemicals in the environment causing every disease from cancer to attention deficit disorder.

...

As Randall Dodd concluded in his Wall Street Journal letter, “… in the context of the millions of people, principally children, who die from malaria every year, even if one suspends disbelief and grants the [Mount Sinai researchers] their findings, an elevated potential risk of the maladies they mention is outweighed exponentially by the certainty of millions of deaths, most of them avoidable, from malaria.”

Mr. Dodd’s point is so obvious and true that it ought to raise questions about the ulterior motives of those who dispute it."

Please read the entire tale of lunacy, and try really really hard not to hate these people simply because they are abject idiots who could care less about all of those icky brown people they've killed with their DDT-Scare. You know, the poor Africans and Asians and South Americans who don't live here and come in a far second to protecting eagle eggs that just might have thinner shells because of DDT.

Liberals absolutely LOVE to use force to make a point, and murdering millions is just their way of saying do as we say or die. Everything they come up with has a severe PENALTY because how else can one show ones superiority without a death or mombo provision. Use our new and improved government insurance, but stay healthy or we'll send armed men to kill you if you resist. Give up your guns, or we'll do the same. Freedom of speech? Hell no. There has to be SOME limits on talk radio and we'll eventually get them made into law where we can once again send armed men...yadda yadda.

They'll settle for nothing less than total power with total enforcement. Why? Because they despise America, and by proxy, real Americans. Their answer to everything is to include government in the mix, then massacre anyone getting in the way. This is why liberal cities like New Orleans can find cops willing to steal guns from law abiding citizens then refuse to return them even when so ordered by a court of law. Like- minded people gravitate together, and nearly every one of our big towns is chockerblock with thugs willing to pin on a badge and do murder for their masters.

Thankfully, WE'VE arrived to bring attention to the work of these madmen, so spread the word whenever possible. Slowly but inexorably we'll make an impression upon the uninformed who remain clueless as to how violent the dyed in the wool loon truly is.
