minus-squaregirlfreddy@mastodon.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-210 months ago@AngryCommieKender Thank you for the apology. It’s appreciated. Statistics for rape conclude that 10% of the world’s female population are raped, which equates to about 400,000,000 girls and women. Stats on male rape are fairly non-existent (from a PDF here https://www.equalitynow.org/resource/the-worlds-shame-the-global-rape-epidemic/). That’s 400x the amount of people killed by mosquitoes. edit to correct numbers
minus-squareAngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-210 months agoNo it isn’t. That’s 400,000,000 total, not per year. The total number of humans killed by mosquitos is in the billions. Mosquitoes have killed more of us than anything else including us and war Oh, and that million+ per year is way down. Before we figured out how to cure malaria it was tens to hundreds of millions of humans per year.

minus-squareAngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-210 months agoOnly at today’s death rate. Prior to malaria being cured it would have taken 4 years to 40. PS. They’ve been at it for 250,000 years the death toll isn’t even close. You’re arguing in bad faith.
