Medical research funding in Someland

The graph compares the number of deaths caused by six diseases in Someland in 1990 with the amount of research funding allocated to each of these diseases. It can be seen that the amount of research funding in many cases did not correlate with the seriousness of the diseases in terms of numbers of death.

In 1990 there were around 0.02 million deaths from AIDS, 0.1 million deaths from leprosy, 0.3 million deaths from tropical diseases, 0.5 million deaths from diarrhea, 0.4 million deaths from malaria and 1.8 deaths from TB.
