If you would tell this to my friends, they would say:

"If the vaccines would have negative effects, then the health agencies and doctors would not recommend them."

Many people simply can not imagine how incompetent or uninformed (or corrupt etc.) health agencies and doctors can be.

Wow, whew and my goodness what a powerful punch the animated graph makes, just brilliant! The sound track really adds emotional impact better than jab me Big Bird & Elmo. You're a gem! <3

Love this. You should do it for other countries.

Actually this is so compelling, it would be great to have a dedicated website that could generate the 3-colored graph for any country with sufficiently accessible data.

The sad thing is, given the relatively young age of Mongolians, they could have developed horde immunity without any vaccines.

Someone needs to make an interactive version of these for various countries. Just the axes and the lines, with no dates, and no labels. Given the blank data, they should be prompted to pinpoint when the pandemic started. After they click to indicate a point, then the screen should add the dates and labels. The data on when people identified as the start of the pandemic should be aggregated and reported on a distribution or some such

Would be a useful red-pilling tool! Do you mean something like https://www.covidchartsquiz.com/ (which is somewhat dated now and only covers lockdowns and masks)?

Love this! Yes, sounds like my idea would be an extension of this existing work. :)

There a similar one. showing jabs followed by cases for every country. I think I saved it on another computer, but there were graphs showing this same thing for every country.. I will try and find them. Alphabetical order too.

I haven’t seen one of these in many months, brilliant. Had to zoom in to see what the black icon was -- too much!

The end of the vax line never turns blue. Is the vax needle soaring at the end current vax uptake, and foreshadowing of hospitalizations and deaths, or artistic license?

They stopped reporting vax at end of May. I don't know if they actually stopped but cases and deaths have stopped since too.

Very dramatic🙀!. Any chance of age adjusted all cause excess deaths?
