Flu Vac and Covid Vac possible interraction?

MawB" you have chosen to deliberately misunderstand my last post, why I have no idea. After all you attacked the OP on similar grounds.

I said none of the things you quote me as saying. I made it quite clear that I was talking about deficiencies in the education system. When I was at school, 1950s, Science and maths were generally very poorly taught in girls schools and in mixed schools girls were actively discouraged from studying science and there is a big imbalance in the number of men and women studying the subject even now. www.ifs.org.uk/publications/13276 I have met women my age for whom science was simply not taught in their girls school at all.

There is plenty of scientific ignorance at every level in Society and Social media shows this applies to young as well as older people. But the fact remains that the majority of well educated scientists and engineers coming out of our schools with science A levels and graduating from university having studied for STEM degrees are still male. Therefore the level of science education among women is lower than that of men and the older we are the worse our education in STEM subjects is likely to be

Once you leave school, it is up to the individual how far they remedy the deficiencies of their education. This thread suggests that some people haven't done that. Some have and some are scientists and technologists.

Happy to say the Scottish educational system was streets ahead of that in England in many respects, not least eschewing over early specialisation in either the arts or the sciences both of which could be studied throughout ones time in secondary education.
I did not criticise anybody’s education, just the dangers of repeating what may be hearsay without checking the facts.

But I did check my facts, hence the link.
