How to create an epidemic

Dr. Sam Bailey, from "Virus mania," explains How to create an epidemic. The Cliff notes follow. Watch the full video.

First, use the wrong test. Like the PCR. To mis-apply a generic test to a specific illness, to examine a breakout of pertussive illness at a medical center.

And then repeating the problem the next time you're looking for a solution.

Second, not recognizing a trend and, instead, claiming a specious cause-and-effect.
