This time, it's the LAST paragraph you all should read

Big Bird's vaccination announcement sparks backlash from conservatives, GOP

To save you the effort of scrolling down to a roundup of how inane the rightwing has become, I'll just quote the last paragraph, seemingly dropped in from nowhere to add an other inch to the column:

Little research has been done about birds' getting Covid-19, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says "chickens and ducks do not seem to become infected or spread the infection based on results from studies."

I am very glad to know this thoroughly irrelevant piece of information.

I feel like people who are squawking about Big Bird's tweet fundamentally misunderstand who Sesame Street is for and how researched within an inch of its existence the show is. Of course, those same people have probably been up in arms about Sesame Street being "woke" for years at this point, so I suppose this is less surprise and more "oh, the mainstream media needed something to cover because it was a slow news week."
