Republicans are furious Seame Street's Big Bird (and now Elmo) got vaccinated.

When you fight with Big Bird on Twitter you've already lost because you automatically become a self parody.

Are they mad when Sesame Street recommends other healthy choices like exercise and minimizing junk food?

Vaccines are good for you, vegetables and exercise are good for you, don't really see the difference here. If you say vaccines cause autism or sterility, you're simply wrong, that's not an opinion, just like if you said fried chicken was better for you than salad.

Fundamentally it's not propaganda because vaccines have nothing to do with political ideology, no matter how much some people may like them to.

At this point I'd be pretty comfortable electing Big Bird president in 2024 compared with what the alternatives are shaping up to be. As long as he doesn't put Elmo in the cabinet anywhere.

Maybe drifting off the topic (Big Bird v. Cruz) but it does seem telling that people opposed to vaccines so frequently call it "getting jabbed". A lot of this stuff is probably just cover for people who are afraid of needles, which oddly enough I would have more respect for than thinking vaccines are how the CIA gives you your brain chip or something.
