“Let there be no doubt that the war on malaria has failed. It is estimated that 800,000 children in Africa die from the disease every year, and as many as three million people altogether every year. We know how people contract it: from mosquitoes. We know how to control it: kill the carrier mosquitoes. And we know what kills them: DDT. So why has the war on malaria failed? Because governments banned the cure. Now they claim to wonder why people are sick and dying.” (06/29/06)
