schestowitz> May 22 06:43
schestowitz> Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is fascinating. So is the just-released 19-page annual letter that describes the work of his charitable foundation--the world's largest. But for someone so smart who can afford to hire a bevy of experts on any subject under the sun, some of Gates' foundation's strategies for problem-solving are baffling.May 22 06:43
schestowitz> May 22 06:43
schestowitz> Consider its two-pronged approach to malaria. It focuses on bed nets--an ultra-low-tech, only modestly effective intervention--and the development of a vaccine, a high-tech solution that has eluded the intensive efforts of scientists for decades. Yet it dismisses the chemical DDT, an old, cheap and safe tool to control the vector--the Anopheles mosquito--that spreads the disease.May 22 06:43
schestowitz> May 22 06:43
schestowitz> Malaria is a scourge of humanity, particularly for the inhabitants of poor tropical countries. Forty-one percent of the world's population live in areas where malaria is transmitted, and each year 350 million to 500 million cases of malaria occur worldwide. The disease imposes substantial costs on individuals, families and governments. Costs to individuals and their families include the purchase of drugs, travel to and treatment May 22 06:43
schestowitzat clinics, lost days of work, absence from school, and expenses for preventive measures. Costs to governments include the maintenance of health care facilities, purchase of drugs and supplies, public health interventions such as insecticide spraying or distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets, and lost days of work with resulting loss of income and lost tourism.May 22 06:43
schestowitz> May 22 06:43
schestowitz> Such costs are a huge burden on malaria-endemic countries and impede their economic growth. It is estimated that economic growth per year of countries with a high incidence of malaria was 1.3 percentage points lower than that of similar countries without malaria.May 22 06:43
schestowitz> May 22 06:43
schestowitz> Drugs called artemisinins are safe and exhibit potent, rapid anti-malarial activity and have been used effectively for several years in combination with other anti-malarials to treat multiple-drug-resistant malaria. But because resistance to the drugs has emerged, a logical approach is to eliminate the mosquitoes that spread the disease.May 22 06:43
schestowitz> May 22 06:43
schestowitz> Unfortunately, flawed public policy limits the available options.May 22 06:43
schestowitz> May 22 06:43
schestowitz> In 1972, on the basis of data on toxicity to fish and migrating birds (but not to humans), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency banned virtually all uses of the pesticide DDT, an inexpensive and effective pesticide once widely deployed to kill disease-carrying insects. DDT was subsequently banned for agricultural use worldwide under the 2001 Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, which stigmatized the chemical May 22 06:43
schestowitzand effectively constituted a prohibition.May 22 06:43
schestowitz> May 22 06:43
schestowitz> Although DDT is a (modestly) toxic substance, there is a vast difference between applying large amounts of it in the environment--as farmers did before it was banned--and using it carefully and sparingly to fight mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects. When it is used at all now, it is now sprayed indoors in small amounts to prevent mosquitoes from nesting. A basic principle of toxicology is that the dose makes the poison.May 22 06:43
schestowitz> May 22 06:43
schestowitz> The regulators who banned DDT also failed to take into consideration the inadequate alternatives. Because DDT persists after spraying, it works far better than many pesticides now in use, some of which are toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. With DDT unavailable, many mosquito-control authorities are depleting their budgets by repeated spraying with short-acting, marginally effective insecticides.May 22 06:43
schestowitz> May 22 06:43
schestowitz> Moreover, even if mosquitoes become resistant to the killing effects of DDT, they are still repelled by it. An occasional dusting of window- and door-frames is extremely effective. Bill Gates' experts seem not to know that important fact; the foundation's annual letter contains the following single mention of DDT: "The world hoped in the 1950s and 1960s that it could be eliminated by killing mosquitoes with DDT, but that tactic May 22 06:43
schestowitzfailed when the mosquitoes evolved to be resistant to the chemical."May 22 06:44
schestowitz> May 22 06:44
schestowitz> Since the banning of DDT, insect-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue have been on the rise. In fact, the huge toll of diseases spread by mosquitoes caused some public health officials to rethink DDT's use. In 2006, after some 50 million preventable deaths, the UN's World Health Organization reversed course and endorsed the use of DDT to kill and repel malaria-causing mosquitoes. At the time, Arata Kochi, the WHO official in May 22 06:44
schestowitzcharge of malaria said, "We must take a position based on the science and the data. One of the best tools we have against malaria is indoor residual spraying. Of the dozen or so insecticides WHO has approved as safe for house spraying, the most effective is DDT."May 22 06:44
schestowitz> May 22 06:44
schestowitz> But policies based on science and data enjoy a short half-life at the UN. Last year, with a notable absence of fanfare, WHO reverted to endorsing less effective methods for preventing malaria. In a May 6 statement the WHO and the UN Environment Program announced that their goal was "to achieve a 30% cut in the application of DDT worldwide by 2014 and its total phase-out by the early 2020s, if not sooner." In the absence of May 22 06:44
schestowitzeffective vaccines or new anti-malarial drugs--and the funding and infrastructure to deliver them--this decision is tantamount to mass murder, a triumph of radical enviro-politics over public health.May 22 06:44
schestowitz> May 22 06:44
schestowitz> Poor tropical countries where malaria is endemic desperately need the resurrection of DDT, and support for it from the world's greatest and highest-profile philanthropist would go a long way toward realizing that goal.May 22 06:44

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-@zleap@social.isurf.ca: ### Facebook to allow workers to work remotely NEW: Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg is telling employees this morning they plan to hire aggressively for remote workers, and existing employees can soon request to work remote permanently.

schestowitzone thing the fediverse (practically ALL of it) could do is get the fuck off microsoft github…May 22 15:22
