Thank God if they find a "new tool" in the fight
against malaria. Ever since the "old tool" called DDT
had virtually eradicated malaria but was then banned
for use by being falsely blamed for perceived
environmental damage in the malaria-free west,
millions have died from the resurgence of malaria in
mostly tropical and poorer countries.
