The Methodist Church is again promoting the purchase and donation of mosquito nets for Africa. Nets give limited protection from malaria carrying mosquitoes. What is need is to drain the areas where mosquitoes breed and to spray with an insecticide.
There was a time when spraying with DDT was bringing malaria under control and saving millions of lives. Enviroment extremists got DDT, a safe and effective insecticide, banned with the result being millions of deatshs from malaria.
I posted remarks along these lines on Tiger Rant last year and got overwhelming response in support. The nuts that carry "protecting the environment" to absurdity have caused great damage to our economy but the costs in lives is even more tragic, and in this case the United States has the power to stop it.
