Those first two jabs So Were Not A Complete Waste Of Time How Very Dare You (etc)

A CBeebies article that I’ve mostly read! Stick with it til you get to the bit about jab #1 being like primary school, #2 like secondary school and… ah, you guessed where it was going.

Complete with your stock image of whitey academic getting all the funky students so so engrossed just like all they not-in-the-least desperate ads e.g. Please Please Come To Our Open Day and Find Out Why Covidian City Uni is Just The Best, And All That.

Honest: it’s a hoot.

Jees - someone at the beeb must have the job of thinking up twee backhanded vaccine promotion pieces.
Maybe the analogy just needs a tweak. You forget what you learned by rote in school and are made to re-learn it, at the expense of development of genuine problem-solving skills.
