They are saying it’s necessary to have politicians signify your pursuits. So I’ve by no means felt extra seen than when my fellow left-hander, Lee Hsien Loong, higher identified to everybody else as Senior Minister and former Prime Minister of Singapore, shared a Fb photograph of himself getting a COVID-19 vaccination three years in the past.
Within the submit on Aug 13, 2021, Worldwide Left-Handers Day, Mr Lee stated he took the jab on his proper arm, as a result of it’s his non-dominant arm. And I discovered myself questioning if he needed to flip his chair in the wrong way earlier than the injection, like I had.
The vaccination cubicles I’d been to had been arrange for folks to get jabbed on their left arm. In different phrases, they’re arrange for right-handers – like all of society.
Whereas it actually took two seconds to regulate my chair earlier than getting my jabs, I admit I hadn’t anticipated to request for a “left-handed possibility” in a vaccination centre of all locations.
It’s all good although – when lefties make up simply 10 per cent of the world, we be taught to adapt from younger. Which will clarify why we’re smarter and extra artistic. Allegedly.
