The whole study is fraudulent.
It reports by race in France when France by law never gathers such data.
Australian hospitals mentioned actually say they never were contacted for the data that study pretends to have. Bonus, it reports out of 5 hospitals in hundreds 73 deaths when there were on 67 nationwide. Authors say they accidentally included an asian hospital.
Also impossible is their ratio of smokers being prettry much completely even across all nations. They show obvious doctoring around 10%
