Between 14k and 50k lives potentially ruined [out of roughly ~700k already destroyed]? It takes a special kind of willful ignorance to say that isn't a lot, and a certain kind of stupidity to deny the evidence supporting it.

Edit: Added some words since reading comprehension is difficult for some.
