I can't access this full study, but this and other sources confirm that the article as currently written doesn't quite get the numbers right and also has some redundancies (mentioning the 6 deaths twice). The Philly Mag article is much more clear: "Between Faith Tabernacle and one other Philadelphia church with similar beliefs, six children died from measles, out of 486 people infected. Outside the churches, three children died out of 938 people infected, meaning the risk inside the churches was about 1,000 times greater, as Offit points out in his 2015 book [Bad Faith: When Religious Belief Undermines Modern Medicine]. If only they had been vaccinated." ScienceFlyer (talk) 21:56, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
I don't see any implication in the text that there were more than nine deaths. Groups of deaths are initially divided over the time of their reporting. BD2412T11:36, 16 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
