Definitely an honest mistake. Unlike the numbers quoted for available doses of smallpox vaccine which have risen steadily from 3M to 10M as time has passed. Standing in line for vaccination - would you like yours straight up or with soda. They prosecute people for diluting pharmaceuticals don't they? Numbers bloat not quite as outrageous as the US casualty estimates that were part of the decision making process for whether to invade Japan or drop Uranium on it which started out as 10K and reached 1M by the time public statements were issued.
