What the Story of #DDT, America’s Most Notorious Chemical, Can Teach Us Today

By Gosia Wozniacka
July 6, 2022

"In How to Sell a Poison, historian of medicine Elena Conis traces the history of DDT, its impacts, and the implications of the shifting science. In a masterful narrative style that reads like a novel, Conis tells the stories of ordinary people and the nascent #EnvironmentalMovement that sought to expose the chemical’s harms. Her book offers insights about the mechanisms of #ScienceDenial, #DisinformationCampaigns, and the role of politics and other social forces in shaping a nation’s approach to regulating a toxic substance."

Zeitsturz | Zentrum für Politische Schönheit

Zeitsturz ist das neue Debattenformat des Zentrums für Politische Schönheit. Jetzt überall, wo es Podcasts gibt.

It's frightening that they decide #science & #medical #policies now! We're doomed! They'll start burning science #books soon, take us back to dark ages in no time, and get us all killed to satisfy their #pride and/or #greed.

So I call upon all sane people to collect good quality #STEM #books, seal them tight in capsules and bury them where these ghouls won't look. It might become the #treasure of life for the next-gen, if anyone survives.
