The Teletubbies, jabbed up
(Picture: Ken McKay/ITV/Shutterstock)Governments and organisations have been warring against vaccine hesitancy in various ways. Some areas in America have been giving people Krispy Kreme doughnuts in return for them getting jabs and others have started lotteries where vaxxed people can win big.
Mayor Sadiq Khan has even told Londoners that if they present their upper arms at vaccine centres this week, they will be entered in a draw to win tickets to the Euros final.
But who the f*** decided to get the Teletubbies involved?
We’re all vaxxed! Just in time for a Tubby hot summer ☀️ Who's ready to come out & play pic.twitter.com/AtXTExaCMs

In case you are young enough for what is objectively the best children’s show in the world to have passed you by, the Teletubbies is a bizarre show about a group of strange doll-like creatures that knock about eating custard and interacting with a baby in a sun and a vacuum cleaner. It originally aired in the late nineties and was recommissioned for a reboot in 2014 (but let’s not talk about that).
After the motley crew took to Twitter to say that they had got their vaccines, people were thoroughly confused.
Some observant people pointed out that something didn’t add up, given the Teletubbies were born in 1997 but their vaccine cards claimed they were born in 2003.
the original teletubbies ran from 1997-2001, meaning y’all could not have been born in 2003, meaning these vax cards are FAKE. https://t.co/v2M5vp0uhy

Others were jealous that the Teletubbies had got their jabs before them:
How come I haven't had my second vaccination yet but these multicoloured fucks are all ready to go?

Presumably they got the first jab then said "AGAIN AGAIN" and the spineless doctors did what they said because they're celebrities.
Corruption is RIFE in this cesspit https://t.co/9a7va5XmAC
Someone joked that the Teletubbies had stopped them from being an anti-vaxxer:
Was an antivaxxer but after seeing this I'm going to get me and my three kids vaccinated

And others were thoroughly confused and horrified about what a “Tubby hot summer” would entail:
YUUUUHHHHH TINKY WINKY BE A SLUT 🗣🗣🗣 https://t.co/aOpq2m9CHX

People realised that the vaccine news revealed new facts about the gang, like that they are susceptible to disease and that they have their own pharmaceutical companies:
This complicates the Teletubby lore immensely. Assuming this is canon, it confrims that:
— Tad Strange (@bread157) July 8, 2021
- Teletubbies takes place on Earth during the current time period (huge, very disturbing and worrying revelation).
- The Teletubbies are susceptible to disease.
These images add a shocking amount to the Teletubbies' lore:
— Trithis (@Trithis2077) July 7, 2021
-The Teletubbies are 18 years old despite the show first airing in 1997
-There are at least 93755 Teletubbies
-There are Teletubbie versions of pharmaceutical companies
-The four Teletubbies we know live in a clinic.
And someone merely said:
Does anyone else find this absolutely insane? 🤔

Imagine if someone told you in 2019 that in 2021, the Teletubbies would be persuading you to get vaccinated to combat a global pandemic...
