10. '‘THE 'HIGH-RISK' STRATEGY OF PREVENTION
IS AN INTERIM EXPEDIENT, NEEDED IN ORDER TO
PROTECT SUSCEPTIBLE INDIVIDUALS,
BUT ONLY AS LONG AS THE UNDERLYING
CAUSES OF INCIDENCE REMAIN UNKNOWN OR
UNCONTROLLABLE; IF CAUSES CAN BE
REMOVED, SUSCEPTIBILITY CEASES TO MATTER.
MANY DISEASES WILL LONG CONTINUE TO CALL
FOR BOTH APPROACHES, BUT THE PRIORITY OF
CONCERN SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE DISCOVERY
AND CONTROL OF THE CAUSES OF INCIDENCE.''
