possible in the future, it seems clear that public policymakers must become cognizant of this fact and learn to design policy that takes this new conceptualization of world into account
by considering the huge amounts of information and statistics that are now available. The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) points out that a population approach to public health
aids in addressing the complexity of the issues to which data refer, as this emphasizes determining the "root causes of a problem" and the need to find evidence that will
support the strategies designed to address these problems (PHAC). Some public health success stories, such as the eradication of smallpox and the campaign to control river blindness, demonstrate this to
be true. In Africa, in the late 1960s/early 1970s, it was found that using a policy of ring vaccination, i.e., finding a smallpox case and vaccinating all individuals within that
