Nice. Thanks. Modern pregnancy care. Vaccines. And antibiotics. The drop is pretty incredible.

Although fridges, clean water pipes, sewage pipes, larger apartments have had a larger effect.

No matter how good the health care is, kids are just gonna die of diarrhea without those ones.

And yes, some vaccines work, the ones developed for slowly-mutating viruses. Influenza vaccines have never worked in the long run, they don't reduce all-cause-mortality, or even ILI-incidence.

"We randomized 115 children to trivalent inactivated influ-enza vaccine (TIV) or placebo. Over the following 9 months,TIV recipients had an increased risk of virologically-confirmed non-influenza infections (relative risk: 4.40; 95%confidence interval: 1.31-14.8). Being protected against influenza, TIV recipients may lack temporary non-specificimmunity that protected against other respiratory viruses."
