1. Read the "Background" below. What types of bias do you think the networks display by almost no mention of a good possible solution to eradicating the Zika virus?

2. In September 2006 the World Health Organization announced:

Nearly thirty years after phasing out the widespread use of indoor spraying with DDT and other insecticides to control malaria, the World Health Organization (WHO) today announced that this intervention will once again play a major role in its efforts to fight the disease and said, “DDT presents no health risk when used properly.”

Why do you think there has been virtually no mention of the hope DDT could bring to the fight against the Zika virus (and of the WHO's promotion of the use of DDT)?

3.  Ask a parent or grandparent:
a) What do you know about DDT?
b) Please read the World Health Organization page on DDT, as well as the "Background" below. Does the WHO's change of position on DDT change your view of the use of this insecticide? Explain your answer.
