Meningococcal death rate climbs

(Death rate should not be confused with number of deaths.)

This is a graph just released by anti-MeNZB vaccine campaigners Ron Lane and Barbara Sumner Burstyn.

1/ How do they get the data so quickly??

2/ The graph would be far more useful if it included the total number of cases. The fact it doesn't makes me slightly suspicious.

Percentages of smaller numbers are subject to greater fluctuation.

But I appreciate what they are giving us here and certainly the increase in fatality could be due to greater complacency. The, "My child is immunised so she can't be sick with meningitis" scenario. This result may have even been predictable.
