Original Note:
The 10% jump in week 42 deaths in Scotland from 2019 to 2020 can't be attributed to vaccines. Covid vaccination in Scotland began in week 50 of 2020. https://www.gov.scot/news/first-covid-19-vaccinations-in-scotland-take-place/ The chart has a truncated y-axis, which exaggerates small differences. Deaths from 2020 to 2023 fluctuated ±1.3%. https://www.heap.io/blog/how-to-lie-with-data-visualization
