@titaniumteddybear.bsky.socialNo, banning DDT didn't cause "countless deaths".
It's a lie made by monsters and spread by fools.
DDT was discovered in like 1860. By 1960 the mosquitos were immune.
Because of course they were.
Countries kept using it after the ban. It did nothing to stop malaria deaths.

@imatthewi.bsky.social#RachelCarson published “The Sea Around Us” in 1951, and #SilentSpring 64 years ago yesterday. An expose’ on the environmental & public health harms from DDT, the latter was a key catalyst of the modern environmental movement. Saw an exhibit of her work at Yale’s #BeineckeLibrary
@xraynaqueen.bsky.social#RachelCarson changed everything!

@liamomaraiv.bsky.social#SilentSpring by #RachelCarson was published on #ThisDayInHistory in 1962. It highlighted the effects of rampant #pesticide use, helping to kick off a global #environmental movement. She was attacked as a "hysterical" communist for daring to question the actions of corporations.

@wflibraries.bsky.socialOn this day in 1962, Rachel Carson’s 'Silent Spring' was published.
Its warnings about DDT helped spark the modern environmental movement.
And fittingly, Carson was born in Springdale, Pennsylvania and died in Silver Spring, Maryland!
