Nice graph with very fitting music. Made me smile, but sorry for Mongolia.

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

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?

Very dramaticπŸ™€!. Any chance of age adjusted all cause excess deaths?
