Cruz responded via Twitter, blasting the PBS kids show for jabbing the fictional character despite having"zero scientific evidence" about the vaccine's safety.
"Thanks, @sesamestreet for saying parents are allowed to have questions," tweeted Cruz, who's seized on vaccine outrage as part of his political brand."You then have @elmo aggressively advocate for vaccinating children UNDER 5. But you cite ZERO scientific evidence for this."Big Bird announced via Twitter"I got the COVID-19 vaccine today," the 8-foot-tall talking bird said.
Big Bird is 6 years old, so he was able to receive his vaccine before Elmo. Even so, Cruz fired back, calling Big Bird's decision to get vaccinated"government propaganda … for your 5 year old."
