Re: mortality rates
This is the history of DDT use in Australia. This information is readily verifiable from many sources:
http://www.apvma.gov.au/products/review/completed/organochlorines_history.php
The first polio cases were in the 1800's in Australia, and many more in the 1930's the 1940's and the 1950's, many cases were found long before DDT was used in Australia.
This in itself is compelling evidence that DDT does not cause Polio.
DDT and other organochlorines may cause symptoms that are similar to those caused by the polio virus, but there is no causation between DDT use and polio diagnosis.
The time lines simply don't add up. If DDT was causing polio, the time lines would match exactly.
What you personally think of me, or whether you think I'm not scientific enough, is of no importance, I am interested in the data, the study you have presented is poorly done, and does not signify a link between infant mortality rates and the number of
vaccinations an infant is given.
Just as there is no causation between DDT use and polio.
