On Sunday, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson tweeted about the number of lives lost to mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton over the past two days in relation to how many people die from other causes, like medical errors and influenza. And people on Twitter, including the Bay Area rock band Smash Mouth, are calling him out for it

“In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings. On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…500 to Medical errors, 300 to the Flu, 250 to Suicide, 200 to Car Accidents, 40 to Homicide via Handgun,” Tyson wrote on Twitter Sunday morning.

“Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.”
