ITT: folks try to find an edge case to invalidate the graph of their greatest dislike/concern.
There are some good topics of progress on earth. There are many bad. There are many injustices and side cases that these graphs don’t display. Folks online sometimes cannot ever see anything but doom.

You’re in the wrong sub my cynical friend

There’s a difference between constructive criticism and cynical criticism

Your criticism of the plane crash statistics are dumb. You’re basically complaining that falling numbers because of actual actions on problems don’t count because… Reasons? You can be cynical while recognising that progress is indeed happening
His argument is bad, but that graph is too. It should have started at a later year for a better comparison.

I wonder if the “legal slavery” countries and the “leaded gasoline” countries are the same three?

Smallpox is definitely not rising again. It was eradicated. That’s why that chart ends at 0.
Are there other diseases on the rise because of antivax idiots? Certainly. But smallpox ain’t one of them.

Which is why I said “other diseases.” Chickenpox and monkey pox may be related, but they are not smallpox. Unless there’s an accident (or an “accident”) at one of the four labs with smallpox samples, or some idiot finds and licks the wrong civil war envelope, it’s gone.
I’m not arguing your other points, nor that antivax idiots aren’t causing problems. But smallpox specifically is not on the rise.

Great link to that scientific document about how smallpox is coming back oh wait 🫸🤔🫷

That’s not how this works. The monkeypox and chickenpox are different diseases, and the smallpox virus is literally extinct (save for a handful of laboratory samples). There can be no new cases, ever. Even if a similar virus evolved, it’d be a different disease the same way COVID and SARS are different diseases.
Sources on these claims?
