Malaria

This is just stupid. I never was a big fan of Gates, nor his business practices, thought he was a little screwy, but this is just over the top:

'There's no reason only poor people should get malaria': The moment Bill Gates released jar of mosquitoes at packed conference

Microsoft founder turned philanthropist Bill Gates released a glass full of mosquitoes at an elite technology conference to make a point about the deadly disease malaria.

'Malaria is spread by mosquitoes,' Gates said while opening a jar on stage at the Technology, Entertainment, Design Conference in Monterey, California — a gathering known to attract technology kings, politicians, and Hollywood stars.

'I brought some. Here I'll let them roam around. There is no reason only poor people should be infected.'

It would be a whole lot easier to just build a few DDT factories in Africa and solve the problem. Yes, Rachael Carson was a nut, and yes her pseudo-science was bogus and has been proved wrong by 30 years of Study. In 2006 WHO approved DDT for use once more. More here on DDT.

So yes, Bill, 'There's no reason only poor people should get malaria': The moment Bill Gates released jar of mosquitoes at packed conference. Build the DDT plants, it's quite cheap and easy to do with third world technology. It's just one more of the Liberals dirty little secrets.
