American Environmentalism and the failure of Utopian Science: 1996 - Malaria in South Africa eradicated, then the ban on DDT. 2000, 60,000 cases of malaria recorded.

My tribute to the brutality of American Environmentalism and its radicalized science,  something I call "Utopian Science."    

1996 - Malaria in South Africa eradicated, then, the Americans ban DDT.  2000, 60,000 cases of malaria recorded.  The very next year,  that ban was lifted in South Africa,  and reported malaria cases fell to 800 from 60,000.   American Environmentalism is wholly responsible for the deaths of 20 million African children since its ban on DDT.  Today,  there are effective processes used to limit malaria,  but they have come onto the scene 12 years after the ban and before there was protection for the people of Africa.  Still,  chemicals such as Arftmisinin. 40% of the world's population is at risk for Malaria.  Even with the new, Utopian science of this day,  more than 300 million illnesses are due to Malaria,  compared to 40 million because of AIDs.  2000 new cases,  mostly involving children,  are reported each day,  in African countries.  
Thanks to Utopian Science for solving this problem.  Geeeeesh.
