Is this one of those instances where the true intent slipped out, or was this literally a slip of the tongue?

However, the brilliant scientist didn't catch himself, he plainly did say 'sterilize' and John Snow clearly did catch the slip up. Hmm.

Ok, so a 60-70% sterilization effect IS acceptable??!!
70% you say?
Is "sterilize" a normal word to use with respect to the effectiveness of a vaccine on a population?
