Did DDT actually ever help anyone?

DDT helped in a social sense, as it was a pesticide it helped clear farms of unwanted insects which destroyed crops which in turn helped increase their profit because they had more produce to sell. During WW2 DDT was used to help severe cases of malaria and typhoid. However, DDT turned out to be very bad for the environment and being around it/ingesting it too much decreased life span.
