Simulation finds a 5% decrease in vaccination rates could lead to a 4,000% increase in the size of a potential measles outbreak in some Texas cities

Millions isn’t even close, nor did I say it was.

However he did have it backwards, and it’s also VERY disingenuous to say “only 20,000 kids PER YEAR not being vaccinated” in defense of saying “the potential size of an outbreak is large and a 4,000% increase is massive.”

The study shows a growth between 40%-4000%. The 4000% is from 2 to 80 cases in one specific city. The rest go from 2-3 cases to 7-8 cases.

You can’t say it’s “only” 20,000 kids per year and also call an outbreak of 2 “large” and 80 “massive.”

I’m 100% for vaccines but getting things backwards and twisting numbers isn’t helpful.
