Ted Cruz flipped out at Big Bird for promoting the Covid vaccine and got owned into next week
The US has given the go-ahead for children aged five and above to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid vaccine, and the drive to encourage that took a slightly surreal turn with this tweet from Sesame Street’s iconic Big Bird.
Here’s proof that Big Bird has been keeping up with the vaccination schedule for quite some time.

The reaction was mixed, with some applauding the move and others *checks notes* acting like Big Bird had stormed Walton’s Mountain and pecked John-Boy to death.

Thank goodness! 👏❤🙏
Less chance of having to intubate Big Bird, which would be… challenging 😆. https://t.co/NzfV3LO199— Rhea Liang (@LiangRhea) November 7, 2021
Seems the worst people in the country have latched on to this tweet.
A word of advice to them. Millions of us have known Big Bird for years. Watched. Studied. Learned.
We can't tell you how to get to Sesame Street. But we know this:
You come at the Bird, you best not miss. https://t.co/ZqxXN06LxF

I can't blame Ted Cruz for attacking Sesame Street, if Donald Trump shoved his fist up my ass I'd be triggered by puppets too

Fun facts distinguishing Big Bird from Ted Cruz:
Big Bird will help kids get safely vaccinated. Ted cruz, nope.
Big Bird can't fly. Not even to Cancun in the middle of a crisis. Ted Cruz? Sure.
No one hates Big Bird. Except Ted Cruz.
