Twitter Calls Out ‘Sesame Street’ For Promoting COVID Vaccine For Kids Using Elmo – By Dawn Geske (IB Times) / June 30, 2022
“Sesame Street” has introduced a new video featuring its popular character Elmo promoting the COVID-19 vaccine to children under 5, but not everyone is pleased with the stance that the children’s TV program has taken on vaccinations.
The video showcases Elmo talking to his father about the COVID-19 vaccine, saying that it felt like “a little pinch, but it was OK.”
Elmo’s father tells viewers, “I had a lot of questions about Elmo getting the Covid vaccine. Was it safe? Was it the right decision? “I talked to our pediatrician so I could make the right choice. 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.”
