Incredibly confusingly written article. The article really tries not to get the point across clearly. Instead of including like a single diagram that actually shows numbers and a curve, they choose to beat around the bush by using words like "less", "fewer", etc. which is really hard to estimate the effect size. There was no serious attempt to represent data proportionally and to actually inform the reader. It feels like an emotionally manipulative hit piece to reach out to all the people who might be affected by this.
