Admitting his “arm is a little sore,” he said he was feeling “no pain,” because “I Pity Pain!”
He concluded by writing, “Even though I am fully vaccinated, I will still wear my mask and keep my distance, thank you.”

I’d rather get my vaccine advice from Mr. T than Fox News. “I pity the fool” who thinks otherwise. https://t.co/gaFxwUIoAQ

Meanwhile, some Twitter users brought up Texas Senator Ted Cruz’s recent attacks on Big Bird after “Sesame Street” explained the importance of COVID-19 vaccinations to children, suggesting Cruz pick a fight with Mr. T and see what happens.
Ted Cruz is a big tough guy when it comes to fighting with Muppets, but he’s awful quiet when it comes to Mr. T.
