Article: "My daughter died for nothing"

This article from CNN about a mother in Kenya who lost her 4-month old daughter to malaria completely misses the real story. Want to wipe out malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases? How about DDT, fools?

Thank you, Rachel Carson. Because of you, we're saving billions of mosquitoes every year at the expense of no less than 1 million human deaths every year - 90% of which are in Africa and most of those victims are children under the age of five. How much do you want to bet that if predominately white, liberal intelligensia regions were where malaria hit hardest, they'd be using DDT to wipe out the mosquitoes?

You're right, Sidi Nyanche; your daughter died needlessly. You have my prayers.
