This is some great detective work, and thanks for drawing it to our attention. These two specific examples don’t affect our conclusions, but I agree with your point re. the need for more skepticism about the WHO data.
Our suggestions regarding specific countries that could benefit from policy change are very tentative (in part because we expect this WHO data to be out of date, coming from 5+ years ago). I think your comment here underlines the importance of getting country-specific context for anyone doing further research on this. We didn’t have time during our report, but I believe CE is following up on some specific examples!
