Interesting to see that GRG doesn’t acknowledge the individual contributors to the research of these 116-year-olds but are more than happy to credit the usual trio everywhere they can, and also where they didn’t even do anything. 

@930310  - one may consider that it's possibly about them trying to remain relevant, rather than dealing with actualities.

Maria Francisca Simao (1901-2017), aged 116 - Brazil

Interesting they released this information, considering Robert's stance on this claim.

@marco I really hope Mrs. Simao gets validated!

@aquanaut_chalk Try and read between the/my lines. 😉

@marco Will Mrs. Simao be validated?

That is up to the GRG to evaluate. But also read this post by Mendocino, and you will be better able to place my comment.

Quite frankly, I would lend more credence to the reported age of Aniţica Butariu than to that of Maria Francisca Simao...

I would be surprised if he had any control over which cases WJK chooses to make pending/validated at this point.
