It’s the data that shows the situation for women is less clear. This is good advice: when getting vaccinated make sure to get a good night sleep. Why the outrage?
HN is a great resource for exchanging ideas, knowledge, and valuable insights. I believe we can keep it that way by fostering a social and friendly atmosphere.
Perhaps a factor is that somebody bothered to check. Who knows what is going on elsewhere.
That means over the course of a lifetime you have to pay twice and then perhaps a third time depending on how inheritance works in your country. That seems too much for any long term planning or investment.
