Please note that EPA's Vallianatos misrepresents Morton Biskind.
Biskind's major contribution actually is -- that the great polio epidemics (post-WWII) were mainly pesticide epidemics, causation concealed by the CDC etc.
I brought Biskind, the buried, disconnected author, to the modern era with publication of my independent DDT/polio research in June 2000 issue of Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients.
In all of Biskind's work, Vallianatos quotes the same paragraphs I have quoted in 2000, though omitting Biskind's references to polio.
