I will say it really clearly. You are saying that the World Health Organisation is recommending it. This is a draft document. It is still being negotiated. To jump to say that this is a WHO recommendation set in concrete, set in stone, is probably not accurate. These negotiations are ongoing as we speak, so to say that we are not following a WHO protocol would, I think, be inaccurate.
