Anti Vaxxers Are Disgusted After Elmo Got A Covid-19 Vaccination On ‘Sesame Street’

I didn’t realise that people still cared about people getting vaccinated or not getting vaccinated – it seems like enough people have done it now so the virus is nowhere near as much of a problem as it was a couple of years ago – but it seems like anti vaxxers still get take any opportunity they can get to let their opinions be known.

Weirdly this time they’ve decided to target Sesame Street after the show depicted Elmo getting a COVID-19 vaccination. It’s also really strange that the show would do this now – although I guess it’s because some people in America are still on the fence about it and maybe it’s still affecting stuff over there? – but the real story here is the anti vaxxers going crazy on Twitter about it.

Get a load of this:

It’s okay to have questions about COVID-19 vaccines for children! Elmo’s dad Louie talked to their pediatrician, and learned that Elmo getting vaccinated is the best way to keep him and his whole neighborhood safe and healthy! #CaringForEachOther pic.twitter.com/aWkCfysJPE

Elmo should be educating kids about INFORMED CONSENT not pushing 💉

This is one of the most disgusting pieces of Covid propaganda I’ve seen!

Leave the kids alone! https://t.co/FTAmzsVwCn

Thanks, @sesamestreet for saying parents are allowed to have questions!

You then have @elmo aggressively advocate for vaccinating children UNDER 5.

But you cite ZERO scientific evidence for this. Learn more:https://t.co/Ss20TmFTSB https://t.co/tr67QyfRyC

I remember when Sesame Street was cool. Now they are just another shill for the mainstream narrative training kids with propaganda. What a shame. Jim Henson would NOT approve.

Shame on you Sesame Street ( A show I used to love as a kid and for my kids) trying to manipulate children’s minds for something that could seriously harm or kill them

Hey @Twitter how come this isn’t labelled misleading when it is clearly misleading. https://t.co/CGbLkT2Mvm

This will be shown for a century as an example of something horrific that never should have happened. https://t.co/rlcpZZqmpr

*OK so I just found out they’re pushing this because children under six are now allowed and encouraged to be vaccinated under new government law over in the US

Jesus, won’t these guys ever give it a rest? Not really sure how commenting on Twitter is gonna help their cause, but I suppose well all know by now that they absolutely love leaving angry comments?

Controversially, I think I might actually agree with them for once though. I’m fairly certain that COVID hasn’t affected children as much as adults during the pandemic and even if it has, the virus doesn’t seem to be as much of a problem as it has been in the past. Natural and herd immunity has been building up too, so it probably makes some sense to not inject your children with the vaccine at this point as they’re still developing and are more likely to face problems than adults.

So yeah, maybe wait until they’re grown up and see what happens. No need for any of the weird rhetoric that we’ve seen above though. Not really helping anyone coming across like that.

For more of the same, check out this absolutely incredible anti vaxxer fan fiction. That really is something els.
