We are living in an age of unprecedented wealth, with millions entering the middle class every year. Homo sapiens live longer lifespans than ever before, with better nutrition, and better medicine than ever in our history. This is also the most peaceful time in our history, with record lows in crime and wars. The developing world is surging in wealth and in the west we have more opportunity and access to information than ever.

This is cool, good news. However, I feel like it's dishonest to not normalize the Y-axis on the charts that are percentage-based. To have "Girls in School" and "Protected Nature" occupy the same absolute top-right position is misleading.
The immunization graph actually looks depressing to me. There are people with no vaccination at all in this world?

The graph is specifically "vaccination by 1 year old". In remote/underdeveloped regions, I can imagine that many people might not be able to get vaccinated until later.
