Is Ted Cruz right? Is Big Bird spreading dangerous vaccine propaganda?

[supercutebutt]

VOTE BELOW!

So encouraging vaccinations is "propaganda" now? VOTE BELOW!

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, ruffled some feathers over the weekend when he took issue with a tweet from children’s television staple and “Sesame Street” star Big Bird.

The fictional character told his followers that he has been vaccinated, and Cruz called it “Government propaganda…for your 5 year old!”

But this isn't the first time Big Bird urged vaccination: Following Cruz's remarks, a clip from a "Sesame Street" episode from 1972 resurfaced on social media, showing the beloved Muppet promoting vaccination.

In the clip, Big Bird investigates a line outside of Hooper's Store, which temporarily became a vaccine clinic for the measles shot, complete with a sign that says "Don't Wait. Vaccinate." Big Bird meets a doctor administering the shots, then decides to get in line himself.

"I know what I'm going to do right away," Big Bird says. "I'm going to get in line."

Yes. Big Bird has lost his mind to hippie "woke" culture. There is nothing worse than a gigantic, virtue-signaling bird.

No. Big Bird is giving sound advice that was given to him by the medical community.

OMG. Ted Cruz is a vaccinated hypocrite. Is there a lie he WON'T tell?

[DaveToo]

Teddy Cruz is a fucking moron. Like his mentor, the orange shitstain, he will say anything to keep his voice and face front and center.

Kids dont need this vaccine.

And it might do them unknown harm anyway.

Why is that so hard for you people to understand?

Haven’t children been like 1% of the covid deaths?

[supercutebutt]

So you are against freedom?

[WhiteBoyChill]

I think its immoral to scare kids into getting a vaccine that isn’t necessary

[supercutebutt]

LOL! You think the kids get the vaccine on their own? OMG. When you got vaccinated as a child, it was your decision?

[WhiteBoyChill]

Of course they don’t but why try and make them potentially at odds with their parents

[supercutebutt]

I wish you were a smarter gentleman so we could have an intelligent conversation.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I’m saying there will be instances where the kids get scared of catching covid.

[purplepoppy]

Big Bird for president

[msc545]

YES YES YES!

[loveslongnails]

Ted Cruz is a scummy trumpanzee turd, yet he got re-elected. There's something in the water in Texas.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Texans don’t care about your opinion.

[loveslongnails]

@WhiteBoyChill And the rest of free thinking United States doesn't care about Texas, or Ted Cruz.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Then stay out of Texans business and stop talking about them

[loveslongnails]

@WhiteBoyChill Well, when your "business" effects the good of the people, then it's everybody's business, if they're truly a patriot and not a Trumpanzee. So your "orders" are of no consequence to me, or anyone who cares about this country.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Well too fucking bad. Texans are happy with Ted Cruz in the same way liberals are happy with Nancy Pelosi being speaker of the house.

Learn to deal with it.

[supercutebutt]

@WhiteBoyChill Chill, White Boy.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I’m not actually angry this time tho

[loveslongnails]

@WhiteBoyChill 49.1% of Texans DID NOT vote for Ted Cruz. That's hardly a case for saying "Texans are happy with Ted Cruz". I've dealt with his incompetence and lack of intelligence for years. He is what he is - stupid.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Oh ok then. It appears you don’t seem to use actual polling then on his approval

[loveslongnails]

@WhiteBoyChill I used the actual VOTE count from the election, to start. As for polls, it depends on who's doing the survey. According to a June 2021 poll by the University of Texas/Texas Tribune, 43% approve and 46% disapprove of Mr. Cruz. I'm sure you can find a Republican backed survey with different numbers. The REALLY interesting number is that over 30% of his own party disapprove of him.

[WhiteBoyChill]

He’s still popular enough to be elected by a majority of people in a blue wave year so sorry about your hurt feelings.

[loveslongnails]

@WhiteBoyChill There was no blue wave. Had there been, the Senate would have clearly gone to the Democrats. I just shake my head knowing that decisions get made for my country by stupid fuck ups like him. It's not a question of "feelings", dude.

[WhiteBoyChill]

Oh well. Then fucking cry about it.

[WhiteBoyChill]

You’re the biggest pussy I know on this site. You’re a grown fucking man but all you ever do is whine and complain and act like a 2 year old bitch.

[loveslongnails]

@WhiteBoyChill You're a child. You only notice my bitching about the idiot Trumpanzees and his even stupider followers, like Cruz and most Republicans. Or when I bitch about the Dems who don't know what they're doing either. It's sad that you can even make that statement, because that you must be stalking my comments. By the way, there's a lot of shit that's bad in this world that needs fixing. When you grow up, you might see that, or you might remain blissfully ignorant. Smart money is on the latter. As for being a pussy, it's said that you are what you eat, so YES, that makes me a pussy, and you... a lol.

[krin_m]

Don't believe a word that sniveling idiot (Cruz, not Big bird) says.

[MountAverage]

"Is Ted Cruz right?"

I didn't even read any further. The answer is no.

[Anonymous]

Ted Cruz is jealous of Big Bird. These two are very similar, like two clowns.

[supercutebutt]

Two clowns who BOTH got vaccinated. Isn't Ted due for another vacation?

[LegendaryIcon]

I think Republicans have reached a new low

[msc545]

Ted Cruz is an asshole.
