help function axis
axis(), like many of R's add-to-a-plot functions, does not warn if you ask then to add things whose positions are out of the bounds of the current plot.
plot(1:10,101:110)
axis(side=3, at=11:12, lab=c("Eleven", "Twelve")) # all out of bounds
axis(side=4, at=c(105,115), lab=c("CX", "CXV")) # second out of bounds
lines(c(0,1),c(0,1)) # line is completely out of bounds
Use par("usr") or draw the default axes (omit axes=FALSE in plot())
to see what the current bounds are.

Well, first thing wrong is no data. See ?dput as a way to supply sample data
Other than that everything seems okay or at least
x<-1:6
plot(x,type="o",axes=FALSE,xlab="year",ylab="cases")
axis(1,at=1:6, lab=c("2000","2001","2002","2003","2004","2005"))
axis(2,0:9)
plots for me.
