"The characteristics of the total environment - physical and social - determine in a large measure the types of diseases most prevalent in any given community. The belief that disease can be conquered through the use of drugs fails to take into account the difficulties arising from the ecological complexity of human problems."
René J. Dubos, Mirage of Health: Utopias, Progress & Biological Change, 1959
