Media fail. If they spent less time talking about phony diseases like Mad Cow, and more time talking about actual pandemics, like Malaria, something that kills millions of people annually, then we might be that much closer to finding better treatments and preventatives instead of having people focus on nonsensical, imaginary disease outbreaks.
armed, its called DDT but apparently because it was used indiscrimately in the past we would rather let millions of people die from Malaria than use it today. Nevermind that we have a better understanding if its effects and that when used in small amounts (just as effect) you negate the main environmental affects.
