Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was among people objecting to Sesame Street character Big Bird’s social media comment about COVID-19 vaccines for children.
“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’s Twitter account posted Saturday morning.
“Ms. @EricaRHill even said I’ve been getting vaccines since I was a little bird. I had no idea!”
Cruz later that day replied to Big Bird’s tweet.
“Government propaganda…for your 5 year old!,” Cruz tweeted Saturday night.
Newsmax’s Steve Cortes also took issue with Big Bird’s remarks.
“This kind of propaganda is actually evil,” tweeted Cortes, co-host of “Cortes & Pellegrino.” “Your children are not statistically at risk, and should not be pressured into a brand new treatment. Do Not Comply!”
