Did anyone hear the item just before the 7.00am news this morning? Dr Viki Male from Imperial College, London was speaking about her recently published paper in the BMJ on the need to research possible effects of the Covid vaccination on menstruation and fertility. Even though the interviewer asked her about women, women’s periods, etc, the scientist only talked about ‘people’ with periods, ‘people’ who want to get pregnant. I honestly don’t think that these educated professionals realise how silly they sound. I long for the day when an interviewer (it was Martha Kearny today) picks them up on it and directly asks them "why won’t you say women?"
