"We're all vaxxed! Just in time for a Tubby hot summer," announced the Teletubbies on their official Twitter account on Wednesday, along with four photos showing the vaccination cards of the four characters: Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po.
All four received their first dose on July 1 and their second dose on July 22, according to the cards, despite July 22 still being two weeks away. Tinky-Winky and Laa-Laa received "Noo-nson & Noo-nson" vaccines - a play on Johnson & Johnson - while Dipsy and Po received "AstraTubbica."
Though the announcement received a lot of fanfare, with more than 225,000 likes and 46,000 retweets, many fans of the show were also bewildered by the stunt.
Several social media users questioned why the vaccination cards showed the Teletubbies as having been born six years after their show debuted, while others asked why Tinky-Winky and Laa-Laa had received two doses of a vaccine based on Johnson & Johnson - which fully vaccinates with just one shot.
One person was particularly disturbed that the announcement confirms the Teletubbies is set on Earth and that the characters are "susceptible to disease."
The post also received criticism for seemingly promoting the vaccination of children, when medical professionals are still debating whether vaccinating minors against Covid-19 has more benefits than risks. Opponents of the vaccine in general questioned whether the four fictional characters would receive some of the side effects recorded from Covid-19 vaccines, including blood clots, Bell's palsy, and myocarditis.

As a man from another country called Poland, as a man who knows more than the history of his country, I could learn a few things about Americans.
To my knowledge, AMERICANS HAVE NEVER BEEN FREE!You've always had slaves, either Indians or blacks or Chinese. So if you talk about freedom, I understand that you only mean a specific social group?
But even that is not the most important thing. The most important thing I learned about America is that AMERICANS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MONEY SLAVES !!!
Your Declaration of Independence, these are just beautiful words, they are not reflected in reality!
I'm already writing a bit on this forum, but I have to add here. I am not your critic. I cheer the Americans a lot.
But the truth is what it is!
I will tell you why in a moment.
When, in 1938, the German SS troops attacked Poland, there were only German PATRIOTS among them!
They were under the command of another great PATRYOT ..... Adolf Hitler.
When the revolution broke out in Russia and people were killing each other in the streets, another great PATRYOT ... Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was in power.
Later we had PATRYOT ... Mr. Stalin.
Before that, there were also many of them, for example the wonderful PATRYOT ... Julius Caesar.
So, as you can see, the word PATRYOT can mean EVERYTHING ... or NOTHING
I guess by your definition it would mean nothing but that is not how it feels to me. It means to be a good citizen of your country and to respect the world around you.
Not a fan of any of the barbaric leaders you mentioned above.
Your homing missiles have a name "PATRYOT"
Have you ever used them to defend your territories or to kill people in other countries?
THEREFORE I WRITTEN THAT , WORD "PATRYOT" ..... IT'S DANGEROUS!
Maybe it is enough to use simple and unambiguous words like HONEST, TRUTH?
Perhaps the word PATRYOT serves too often the particular interests of certain people?
For example, those who tell young guys. Hi! We need you! We'll give you $ 400 a day for killing people in the US Army!
YOU ARE NOT GUILTY! YOU DO IT BECAUSE YOU ARE PATRYJOT !!
this is a clinton epstein owned channel ffs, yes, true to my word!!
thy own it, paid for it, and today collect from it, even though jeff is pushing up daisys, next of kin collect!!
No doubt, patriot is mighty power.
And we know power can be used for good and bad. The same is true for patriot.
There is no shame in patriot, only responsibility. Only man has the key to responsibility. The individual man.





All of You in America are like little kids! :-)
