Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) took aim at the Sesame Street character Elmo after the furry red Muppet monster and his father told children that getting the COVID-19 vaccine is the best way to keep friends and family safe.
"I talked to our pediatrician so I could make the right choice," Elmo's father said in the episode.
"I learned that Elmo getting vaccinated is the best way to keep himself, our friends, neighbors, and everyone else healthy and enjoying the things they love."

“Sesame Street” just got a little safer thanks to Elmo. Well, depending on whom you ask.
The beloved furry Muppet received his first jab of the COVID-19 vaccine Tuesday in an effort to get nonpuppet parents to get their young children vaccinated against the deadly virus.
Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit organization behind the iconic kids show “Sesame Street,” shared a new public service announcement on Twitter and YouTube.
The now-viral campaign comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expanded the use of the coronavirus vaccine to children 5-years old and younger earlier this month.
“It’s okay to have questions about COVID-19 vaccines for children!” the tweet is captioned. “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!” --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
