...in one single cohort-based study that only looked at around 10K deaths between the United States and 16 European countries, not the EU or all of Europe.

Life expectancy in the EU varies a lot by country. Someone born in Sweden has a life expectancy over ten years longer than someone born in Latvia.

That one study feels like a paper that was engineered to make headlines and social media sound bites, not to be an accurate look at the entire population.

Do you think your comment has more value than one study?
