Fact check: a viral chart does not show that vaccines changed life expectancy by 30 years
The chart mixes two different measures and leaves out a decade of data.
The chart has been shared 40,000 times. We traced the data to a fictional national statistics office.
The real data show life expectancy rising by 22 years over the century, with sanitation, nutrition and antibiotics also playing a part.
