While I get your point, I think it’s a rather uncharitable way of putting it.

A lot of the world is in lower UV continents like the UK. It’s not like it’s a statistical outlier like the great famine. So this research can have benefits to a lot of other people in other counties too.

You are absolutely right about the research part.

I guess I was surprised that it made it to the news, as it seems expected to me. If they would reach the opposite conclusion however, now that’s newsworthy.
