Scientist Joe Kaplinsky takes a sober look at the controversial chemical DDT, noting that it is one of the most effective pesticides ever developed and great at combating malaria. He also employs a critical approach to the intellectual legacy of Rachel Carson, author of the famous 1962 book The Silent Spring . Kaplinsky takes on the anti-scientific prejudices of Carson and her followers and suggests DDT could be and should be widely used today to save lives.

WORLDbytes has released this filmed report as a challenge to Western campaigners organising World Malaria Day commemorations. The report criticises campaigners fixation with bed nets. As African volunteer Helder Da Costa says: It s the West s ban on DDT that has killed people and is killing people. Telling the truth would be a start and boat loads of DDT not bed nets would make a huge impact. Ben Hoyte explains: When I was a kid in Barbados I had to go to bed early under a net until they started spraying; now I don t have to spend half my life in bed and I don t see why anyone else should have to either. Director Ceri Dingle says: There is something quite nauseating about a campaign which treats Africa as a continent of little children that should go to bed early under a charity veil, otherwise known as a bed net. It is sadly consistent with Western low horizons, environmental prejudice and patronising, guilt inspired giving. If campaigners were serious about the eradication of malaria, pesticides would be number one on the agenda. The WORLDbytes online channel is available at www.worldbytes.org
