New Low: Using Big Bird For This Purpose Only Disgraces The Memory Of His Creator

Jim Henson, creator of the Muppets was a Seventh Day Adventist, which means he did not believe in vaccines (or other medicines for that matter as he died from Pneumonia), and today one of his creations, Big Bird is being used to peddle a vaccine to children. Is nothing sacred anymore?

On Monday, the Biden Administration kicked off "a nationwide effort" to encourage schools, parents, and guardians to vaccinate children against COVID. The Administration said "vaccination is the best tool we have" to ensure students are safe and that schools remain open for in-person learning.

Education Secretary Miguel Cardona and Health and Human Service Secretary Xavier Becerra addressed a letter to school superintendents and elementary school principals across the country Monday morning, urging them to share information with families regarding COVID-19 vaccines for children.

The letter comes only days after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggested using the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 through 11 years old.

"Today, we reach out to you with encouragement for you to actively support the vaccination process for children in your state, territories, county, tribes, communities and schools," they wrote. "This is a very exciting development and a significant opportunity to protect some of our youngest learners and our communities."

"Vaccination is the best tool we have to keep our students safe from COVID-19, maintain in-person learning, and prevent the closure of schools and cancellation of valued extracurricular activities," they wrote, continuing that vaccination, "paired with prevention strategies" like masking, testing, tracing, distancing and improving ventilation "can significantly limit COVID-19 transmission."

"Schools play a vital role in providing access to and trusted information on the vaccine," they wrote, continuing that "parents listen closely to school leaders and personnel."

"We urge you to do all you can to help parents and families learn about the vaccine and get access to it," they wrote.

Cardona and Becerra asked that schools host COVID-19 vaccine clinics. They said the CDC has developed resources for schools to use for setting-up clinics. They also pointed to funding in the American Rescue Plan and through FEMA "to ensure that you can cover all costs of hosting a clinic."

They asked that schools distribute information regarding the COVID-19 vaccines to all families with children between the ages of 5 and 11.

"Parents rely on their children's teachers, principals, school nurses, and other school personnel to help keep their students safe and healthy every school year," they wrote. "The communications you issue—in languages accessible to your parents—will be critical in helping families learn more about the vaccine."

They continued: "We encourage you to use this opportunity to highlight the safety and effectiveness of vaccines and explain why they are critical to protecting individuals from COVID-19, lowering community and family transmission, and keeping children safely in in-person learning."

Cardona and Becerra announced that "as parents ourselves, we understand that parents of children who are newly eligible for the vaccine will have questions about the vaccine."

They urged schools to hold conversations and community engagements on COVID vaccines with parents in partnership with local pediatricians and other trusted medical voices in their communities.
