You link shows a standard way to calculate infant mortality if the baby is born alive. That’s my point, no every country counts those the same.


Read the “Methods of estimation” section where the standardization process is described. This would be a lot simpler is you could simply provide a reference to support the claim that the life expectancy at birth metric in the USA is calculated differently to that in other countries. Your claim seems to based on differences in calculation a different metric, infant mortality rate.
