BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – CNN’s Erica Hill and Dr. Sanjay Gupta hosted a virtual town hall featuring various characters from the long-running PBS children’s series “Sesame Street.”
This followed the recent announcement from the FDA last month that approved of children ages 5-11 receiving a kid-sized version of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.
The CNN town hall was promoted not only by the network and its journalists, but the characters as well. Big Bird’s Twitter account read, “I got the COVID-19 vaccine today! My wing is feeling a little sore, but it’ll give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy. Ms. @EricaRHill even said I’ve been getting vaccines since I was a little bird. I had no idea!”
The account for Elmo also wrote, “Elmo was so happy to talk to @DrSanjayGupta at the town hall today! Elmo learned that Elmo’s friends can get the COVID-19 vaccine now, and soon Elmo can too!”
The Count disrupted the town hall by counting the lies that CNN tell regularly on their daily telecast. Security escorted him out when he got to sixteen, followed by his creepy laugh.
