Have You Seen This? Dr. Fauci assures children Santa has been vaccinated, Christmas is a go

THE NORTH POLE — Sometimes I see a video that is too good not to write an article about. This is one of those times.

Everything about this clip will melt your heart and leave you filled with holiday spirit and hope.

I dragged my roommate over to watch it and in under 20 seconds, she burst into tears. The news anchors in this clip are also clearly experiencing watery eyes for some reason, and my allergies spontaneously kicked up as I watched. Funny coincidence.

If you have a child, or know a child, or know someone who has a child, you know that explaining COVID-19 and the "new normal" of 2020 hasn't been easy. Sometimes it's a little frightening, but kids are doing their very best. They definitely deserve a spot on Santa's nice list.

But these kids featured on CNN's Sesame Street program had some holiday questions for our nation's leading infectious disease expert, namely the big one: Can Santa Claus safely bring presents this year? How?

If your kid is struggling with this question, show them this.

Dr. Anthony Fauci — director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, thrower of one of the most hilarious first pitches in Major League Baseball, and national treasure — would like the kids of the world to know that he's traveled to the North Pole and personally vaccinated Santa.

After confirming that Good Saint Nick now has antibodies (Santibodies?), he is cleared for international travel and will be safely bringing his Christmas magic.

To quote Fauci himself, "He can come down the chimney, he can leave the presents, he can leave, and you have nothing to worry about. Santa Claus is good to go!"

I'm not crying, it's just raining Christmas spirit. Happy holidays.
