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.
— Big Bird (@BigBird) November 6, 2021
Ms. @EricaRHill even said I’ve been getting vaccines since I was a little bird. I had no idea!
Big Bird's seemingly innocuous announcement that he was vaccinated for Covid-19 causes a stir online among the right wing, with Sen. Cruz accusing the yellow bird of tweeting "government propaganda." https://t.co/Mq9p2bpfRQ

That’s weird — Big Bird usually quiets crying babies.

Why does the video cut off right before Big Bird finds out “what’s going on” and starts yelling about microchips and his Constitutional rights?

Everyone knows the real Big Bird died in the Challenger explosion and it's been a guy in a suit ever since.

This is what we’re paying him $174,000 a year to do:
- incite insurrectionists
- vacation in Cancun at the Ritz
- block Biden’s national security nominees
- attack Big Bird, Dr. Seuss & Mr. Potato Head
Senator Cruz of Houston spent all day rage tweeting at Big Bird & ‘Woke Cartoons’ and did not mention the horrific deaths at Astroworld until 6:30pm and then just a cut and past ‘thoughts & prayers and grateful for law enforcement.’ Texas, you can do SO much better than Lyin’Ted.

You probably know this, but the US has a rich history of accusing children's toys/books/TV of being communist propaganda. It's quite amusing... except when it got creators blacklisted and ruined their lives.
