Data on ways to avoid illness on an airplanes is very welcome this time of year….and good news about vaccines makes me feel even better (assuming people decide to get inoculated). Below are two visualizations from Beautiful News….The funnel graph illustrating reduced mortality rates is one of the more effective I’ve seen, although it’s not entirely clear whether the reduction is 100% attributable to vaccination or other factors. I was also surprised at the effectiveness of the bubble chart. Clustering by vaccine type, and the use of a single color of varying transparency, give a good general sense of which illness is receiving attention and how much relative progress has been made.
