Show summary

Public health expert: Until recently people believed that applications of biochemical research would eventually achieve complete victory over the microorganisms that cause human disease. ████████ ███████ ███████ ████████ █████ ████ █████ ██████████████ █████████ ██ ███████ ████ █████████ █████████ ███ ███████ ███ ███████ ████ ████ ████ ███ █████████ ██ █████ █████████ ████ ███ ██████ ██ █████ ██████████ ███ ████ ████████ ██████ ██████ █████████ ██████████ █████ █████ ████ ████ ████████ ████ ██ ███████ ██ █████ █████████ ██████ █████ ███ ████████████ ██ ████████ ██████ ██ ███████████████ ████ █ ████ ██ ██████████ ███ █████████ ██ ████ █████████

Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

The most rational public health policy would shift more focus to preventing disease transmission. Why? Because medicine is being outpaced by the evolution of disease-causing microorganisms, and this nulls our previous plan to rely on medical research to combat disease.

Identify Conclusion

The conclusion advocates for a strategy shift: “The most rational public health strategy, therefore, would place much more emphasis than at present on fully informing people about the transmission of diseases caused by microorganisms, with a view to minimizing the incidence of such diseases.”
