Negative Positive
Title: This book is a tragedy
Review: This book is responsible for the deaths of several million people.Largely due to the fallout from this book, DDT was banned worldwide. Even though the ban was based on shoddy and now discredited science, this book sparked the popular imagination and chemoparanoia of scientific illiterates everywhere. As a consequence, a cheap, effective, and SAFE pesticide was denied to the poorest countries who needed it most. Malarial mosquitoes that were just beginning to come under contol instead rebounded, and rates of malaria -- often fatal in poor countries -- skyrocketed. Millions have died as result.Of course, none of this mattered to Ms. Carson, or to her legions of acolytes. To them, feeling good about supposedly "pwotecting the enviwoment" was more important about getting their facts right, and infinitely more important than the lives of the people their carelessness has cost.
