In bootstrap percolation, some vertices in a graph are initially active and others become active if eventually they have $r$ active neighbours. We identify the large deviations rate function for the event that a small set of initially active vertices eventually activates atypically many vertices in the Erdős-Renyi graph. To this end, we compare trajectories of the dynamics, via Guseinov's discrete calculus of variations. This complements the fundamental work of Janson, Łuczak, Turova and Vallier, which studies the typical behaviour of the model, and the recent work of Torrisi, Garetto and Leonardi on supercritical large deviations. As an application, we obtain lower bounds for the size of the smallest sets that activate the entire graph, improving those recently obtained by Feige, Krivelevich and Reichman.
