Epidemiology deals in numbers.
With measles, they go like this: With 1,000 cases, about 200 children will require hospitalization, 50 will develop pneumonia, and one to three will die. The numbers have caught up to Pennsylvania.

Didn't go to journalism school but I have a rule that if I can help it — and I think you can — don't leave a source who tells me their story worse than I found them. You lose stories but proactive and collaborative consideration about how a story will affect a source matters.

Many who do know Burns remember him from the Weldon days, when Burns acted as a liason, an advisor, and a helper for anti-vaccine researchers and activists—including two who were recently hired by Kennedy as in-house "experts" on vaccines. Burns was described to me as "explosive."
