The second y-axis in ggplot2 is only intended to relabel an axis with a
fixed transformation. E.g. one axis in degree Celcius and one in Kelvin,
km and miles, ...
It does not rescale the variables.

It looks like you want to display two variables with unrelated units on the
same y-axis. That is not a good idea. https://blog.datawrapper.de/dualaxis/
