The story of an infamous poison that left toxic bodies and decimated wildlife in its wake is also a cautionary tale about how corporations stoke the flames of science denialism for profit.
The chemical compound DDT first earned fame during World War II by wiping out insects that caused disease and boosting Allied forces to victory. Americans granted it a hero’s homecoming, spraying it on everything from crops and livestock to cupboards and curtains. Then, in 1972, it was banned in the US. But decades after that, a cry arose to demand its return.
This is the sweeping narrative of generations of Americans who struggled to make sense of the notorious chemical’s risks and benefits. Historian Elena Conis follows DDT from postwar farms, factories, and suburban enclaves to the floors of Congress and tony social clubs, where industry barons met with Madison Avenue brain trusts to figure out how to sell the idea that a little poison in our food and bodies was nothing to worry about.
In an age of spreading misinformation on issues including pesticides, vaccines, and climate change, Conis shows that we need new ways of communicating about science—as a constantly evolving discipline, not an immutable collection of facts—before it’s too late.

Misinformation on vaccines? How stupid do you have to be to not see history repeating itself? the cult mantra ” Safe and effective ” in its abject glory, so enjoy injecting the modern day equivalent of DDT!

Privateering when will my head explode from all the jab jab jabs?
I’ve been listening to anti-vaxxers cry the sky is falling cuz vaccines are a :Global De-population” conspiracy. When I first heard that conspiracy claim world population was at 3 billion. Today it’s 8 billion.
No other evidence is needed to debunk you & your hair on fire, alarmist depopulation conspiracy. Reason would say after 50 years of your prediction not only not happening, but going in the opposite direction would prompt y’all to take your feet out of your mouths.
You get more wrong by the year,
Further, in those last 50 years hundreds of BILLIONS of vaccine doses have been administered to billions of people……..ya any day now….sure.
What you depopulation conspire disciples do year after year of being wrong, but refusing to give up, is called ‘Doubling Down’. The most frequent place you see doubling down outside of the Black Jack table is in cults, first suggested by cult leaders then adopted by the cult members.
Depopulation via vaccine believers are a cult & you are a true believer & Anti-Vaxx missionary.
There are a few real existential threats & loads of very serious problems humanity will be facing soon & some are already started.
If I was to make a top 50 list, vaccines don’t even rate.
Instead of milk on my morning cereal, I pour a small jug of vaccine juice on those crunchy yummy flakes.

Only people who benefit from the fact that almost everyone else is vaccinated have the luxury of dabbling in their “research” (aka YouTube, Google) into conspiracy mumbo jumbo.
There’s a reason none of them have ever contracted polio or small pox, and it has nothing to do with their insufferable sense of superiority.
They need only look at themselves to find the real “sheeple”.
Great book, btw.

Anti vaxxers are just another in a long line of Darwin Award winners.

top 3 mistakes of Pro-vax dummies
1) They think all vaccines are created equally, these fucktards literally think if I say X vax causes autism, I’m automatically against ALL vaccines.
2) they think the depopulation agenda is as obvious as “take the vax = death”, that would be the plan that only a retard could think of, found out after only a few vaccines.
3) they think the pharmaceutical industry is on their side, trying to protect them from disease!!! LOL. how dumb do you need to be? they just want to SELL as many vaccines as possible.
