Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and other conservatives have blasted Sesame Street favorite Big Bird for claiming to have gotten a COVID vaccine in what they say is propaganda to encourage kids to get the shot.
The fictional bird, who, according to Sesame Street lore, is eternally 6-years-old, tweeted his vaccination status on Saturday, writing: 'I got the COVID-19 vaccine today! My wing is feeling a little sore, but it'll give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy.'
He added that CNN journalist Erica Hill 'even said I've been getting vaccines since I was a little bird. I had no idea!'
But Cruz was among those happy with Big Bird's medical disclosure, and quote tweeted the comment with 'Government propaganda for your 5 year old.' Big Bird issued the tweet days after the FDA approved Pfizer's COVID vaccine for children aged five to 11, with critics accusing the character of trying to foist shots on kids.
COVID is generally believed to pose little risk to children, with CDC statistics showing that just 680 of America's 745,000 COVID fatalities are aged between 0 and 18.
Vaccines, while generally very safe, can also cause side effects including heart inflammation among kids, with some experts questioning whether the protection they give outweighs the risk of side effects, or the likely harmless nature of a COVID infection for young children.
The tweets also sparked criticism from other conservatives, like FOX News host Lisa Boothe who said it was 'brainwashing children who are not at risk from COVID,' and Newsmax host Steve Cortes, who wrote: 'This kind of propaganda is actually evil.
'Your children are not statistically at risk, and should not be pressured into a brand new treatment. Do not comply!'

Covid has a 99.5% Survival Rate according to the US Congress.

They have had so many chances to defund NPR, yet they continue to just bitch about it.
This is just plain going around parents backs to indoctrinate children. These little kids don’t even know what all this vaccines stuff is about but Big Bird is telling them to go get vaccinated?? Wow!
I NEVER liked Sesame Street EVER!
Even when I was a “liberal” when my first two kids were toddlers.
We got rid of the TV after number three was born, so it wasn’t an issue after that.
But Big Turd always gave me the creeps.
Instead of using his considerable intellect to crack jokes about Big Bird, I wish TedCruz would examine the Biden plan to pay illegal immigrants up to $450K for accomplishing the high crime of breaking our laws and crossing the border.
Much more needs to be said on this matter.
I think a lot of people figure the sum is so outrageous that it will never happen. Don’t count on it not happening with McBumbles-Biden at the helm.

Baby’s first myocarditis.
Birds are being vaccinated for covid? Who knew!
Perhaps the silver lining is that Big Bird will go belly up. :)
“That wasn’t chicken.”
Big Birds get bird flu.
The people who are instigating this will surely BIH.
Regarding the moron thanking science, and the rest of them, I hope they feels that way should something unfortunate befall their poor kids.
These people are SICK.
And the CDC tells me to not take Ivermectin because “Im not a cow or a horse”. Screw em. Sideways and runnin.
There is an underlying reason behind the HUGE PUSH for this stinking vaccine has NOTHING to do with Covid and is becoming damn SCAREY!! There is absolutely NO WAY that shot is going into my body after the absolute government hysteria that it goes into EVERYONE these bastards are EVIL!!!
Its getting bad when the Childrens Gestopo Workshop forces puppets to get vaccinate. Wonder if Ernie and Bert are taking their HIV medicine?
Drawing of Leftists sacrificing children to their pagan god....
“We got used to this while promoting the murder of 62 million babies by abortion in the United States since Rose v. Wade as of January, 2021.”
“Yeah. Practice makes perfect.”
