Probably because areas with high outbreaks are hit with a vaccination program to prevent it from spreading worldwide.
What surprised me most is one of the highest countries in the newest reports was France.
Good point. And it does look like mostly vaccination programs did reduce the rates in following years.
I wonder what’s up with France? I notice that they didn’t report/no data’d both charts.
I also note that Algeria has a pretty high rate, I could speculate that France’s high rate is due to yutes, but I’ve already made a fool out of myself once on this thread...
