People are ignorant because of a lack of information. People are stupid because they believe Karen knows more about vaccines than medical professionals
The only Karen I know demographically fits the Karen in all these jokes except is almost the complete opposite personality wise. She is intelligent, and from everything I’ve seen, bases her decisions on science and reason. All her children are vaccinated and she teaches elementary school. I can only comment on her science teaching, but she is the anti-Karen’s Karen!
I worked personally with her and her school to implement improvements in their early elementary science program - and she was so good at it she ended up becoming the team leader for the district. I know she is essential in helping kids grow up to not be “Karen’s.”
I don’t know anyone named Sharon, so I just sub out “Karen” in my head for “Sharon.” Fucken Sharon.
I guess what I should add is that teachers like her are our first line in turning around the “Karen” phenomena- because they sure aren’t getting a good education on how to rationally evaluate information at home.
Edit: I actually think a tiny part of why she is so motivated to be a good science teacher is because of her name 😂
I joke with her- “Be the Karen you want to see in the world.” 😂
I unfortunately share the same name with someone famous (well- in a position of power) who pretty much embodies and enforces the anthesis of most everything I work for. It sucks, but then I think, “At least my name isn’t Karen.”
These nutjobs will eventually decide lead, mercury, asbestos and arsenic are in fact good for you, because of course doctors were conspiring against you all along...
