The Teletubbies have shocked everyone by getting vaccinated – 11 favourite responses
With all the ‘magnetic’ people and the ‘vaccines make you wi-fi enabled’ crowd, you could be forgiven for thinking the vaccination discourse couldn’t be more weird than it is.
Enter stage left – the Teletubbies.

Let’s take a closer look at those certificates.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency must have given the go-ahead to a few more vaccines while we weren’t looking.
The news hit Twitter hard, for one reason or another, and this is how people reacted. It’s not all safe for work.

Teletubbies premiered in 1997. These dates of birth say "03". That implies that the Teletubbies are at least 118 years old. https://t.co/fENI5ZQt6K

How come the teletubbies can get their second dose after 21 days (even the teletubby version of astrazeneca, where it's not recommended) but I get turned away from the walk in centre at closing time with vaccines going spare because it hasn't been 8 weeks yet https://t.co/Avu2ie6IZ6

This implies that the Teletubbies live on the same Earth as us, smiling baby sun and all, and I'm just not willing to accept this. https://t.co/GGUxaBalbz

Perhaps the Teletubbies aren’t the innocents they appear to be.
Not only did the Teletubbies forge a vax card by writing a day that hasn't happened yet, but it's now confirmed they're all 18.
