Did we use to have a thread where people could ask the always benevolent OTF community for help with their various queries?
Anyway, this is a very long shot but here goes: for reasons that you'll have to trust are not sinister, I'm looking for the death rate or total number of deaths from a few diseases (pneumonia, scarlet fever, diphtheria, syphilis, possibly a few more) over the 20th century. Ideally for England/England & Wales/the UK but I can work with US data if it's easier to find.
Does anyone know where I can find these? I hoped the ONS or PHE websites might have them but they only seem to have figures for the last few years, and any Google search comes up with tons of anti-vaxxer shite (what the fuck is Health Sentinel and where do they get their figures from by the way? They seem to be polluting the internet big time.) This is not for some proper peer-reviewed project or anything so I don't really want to put a freedom of information request in, but if by any chance one of you good people knows if this can be found somewhere online that would be really helpful.
