Vaccinations for U.S. children between 5 and 11 years old began this week after the U.S. fully approved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for the age range. Sesame Street, which has previously launched vaccine ad campaigns, deployed two of its most popular characters to encourage parents to vaccinate their kids.
Elmo, another Muppet character who's three years old, added that he was"happy to learn that friends can get the COVID-19 vaccine now, and soon Elmo can too!" Big Bird of Sesame Street attends the 2018 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 22, 2018 in New York City.Tennessee Republican congressional candidate Robby Starbuck suggested that Big Bird could die from the vaccine."*7 days later* Big blood clot Bird is served!" he tweeted.
Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe accused Big Bird of"brainwashing children who are not at risk from COVID," calling it"twisted."
