"Who is Karen? " Karen is a pejorative term for women seeming to be entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal. The term also refers to memes depicting white women who use their privilege to demand their own way.[1][2] Depictions also include demanding to "speak to the manager", being racist, being anti-vaccination, or sporting a particular bob cut hairstyle.[3] The term has been criticised for being anti-white, sexist, ageist and misogynistic, or seeking to control female behaviour.[3] As of 2020, the term was increasingly being used in media and on social media as a general-purpose term for middle-aged white women, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests.[1] The term has also been applied to male behaviour. The Guardian called 2020 The year of Karen: how a meme changed the way Americans talked about racism. From wiki | |||

"I believe it stems from a ridiculous social medi shit storm stemming from a Tory minister photographed with a box of Yorkshire Tea. One particularly vociferous idiot calling for a boycott of said tea brand was called Karen. In a genius Tweet, Yorkshire Tea said "Karen, you are shouting at tea". Thus a Karen is anyone spouting in an equally ridiculous way. It could have been Brian, Penelope, Ahmed or Yoko. I am not sure the gender/class/racial specificity is relevant. Unless you want to get all Karen about it." And do we search for Karen? | |||

I do not feel this was the intent of the OP though. | |||

"Were these the same drs who had to be told a few years ago to "wash your hands". Gave out Thalidomide tabs. Unlimited antibiotics. benzodiazepines. Used ECT. And you want me to trust these people ? " I doubt they are the same drs, those drs will be long retired/dead. An unrelated fact,I heard they used to send children up chimneys, it doesn’t happen anymore though. | |||

"Untrustworthy Drs. having met more than a couple of future Doctors while at uni, inepuld saybthat trusting them all is stupid, the amoubt of then that openly admitted to cheating in exams was really worrying. In addition to that Drs. prescribe medicines that they have little understanding of overall. so yeah not onky cant you trust 100%o f Doctors, bt also you cant take what they say as 100% factual. Having said that, i do admire genuine doctors who are committed to knowledge and health of their patients. " That was just a noise | |||

"Who is Karen? Karen is a pejorative term for women seeming to be entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal. The term also refers to memes depicting white women who use their privilege to demand their own way.[1][2] Depictions also include demanding to "speak to the manager", being racist, being anti-vaccination, or sporting a particular bob cut hairstyle.[3] The term has been criticised for being anti-white, sexist, ageist and misogynistic, or seeking to control female behaviour.[3] As of 2020, the term was increasingly being used in media and on social media as a general-purpose term for middle-aged white women, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests.[1] The term has also been applied to male behaviour. The Guardian called 2020 The year of Karen: how a meme changed the way Americans talked about racism. From wiki So basically a racist terminology but can't be racist because she's white.

"Were these the same drs who had to be told a few years ago to "wash your hands". Gave out Thalidomide tabs. Unlimited antibiotics. benzodiazepines. Used ECT. And you want me to trust these people ? " They still use ECT and I have seen first hand how a family member has got their life back after having this treatment. So whilst many dont agree with its use many do. Spoke to my doctor a month or so ago whilst at the surgery about the vaccine and she asked me if I would have it, my reply was simple. I have followed medical advice in the past and I will continue to do so in the future , so yes I will be having the vaccine. I do read up on things for myself but I dont use social media sites for my information. | |||
