Read our privacy policy Conservatives, including a Republican US senator, have a new target in their war against public health measures aimed at preventing Covid-19: Big Bird. https://t.co/KPjdHJjpUy — Lisa Boothe November 6, 2021 Tomi Lahren, a right-wing gadfly and Fox Nation host, accused the Sesame Workshop of “shaming into getting a still largely experimental vaccine”. https://t.co/pXugnZzqRf — Tomi Lahren November 7, 2021 The claim that the Covid-19 vaccines being distributed in the US are supposedly “experimental” is false. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell publicly urged Americans to get vaccinated against Covid-19 as fast as possible in July, and notably did not face the same kind of heat felt by Big Bird after his tweet on Saturday.
