When and how Nature journal spreads propaganda in one chart

Here is a nice example!

Nature Briefing: Cancer (Actually the whole issue of this news letter is mostly propaganda) E.g. "‘It will take decades to recover from this’" meaning from President Trump's alleged cuts to cancer research in the US. Really!

Socialists love to compare the US with Scandinavian countries. This has a long tradition! What is wrong with the chart below? A lot:
  1. Only two years are compared. Any honest scientist and science journalist knows that this is a deceptive practice.
  2. Using only percentage changes is another common deceptive practice. Why don't they show per capita results as well?
  3. What if the US has been so advanced by 2010 that Denmark was only able to catch up with the US by 2019?
