'After being advised that this technique would not be remotely effective in convincing people who were hesitant, we scrapped the idea completely,' said John Oliver as the vaccine cicada lurked in the background

John Oliver, the undisputed mascot god of late-night television, dedicated his Sunday Last Week Tonight episode to a growing concern in our country: vaccine hesitancy, or why adults are being persuaded by noted dumbasses Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan to ignore the COVID-19 jabs.

Oliver even had a brand-new mascot costume commissioned to convince people to get the vaccine, before being told by the show’s experts that it would be a waste of time and thousands of dollars: These anti-vaxxers “don’t respond well” to celebrities telling them to get the vaccine, even if an incongruous mascot such as, say, a vaccine cicada came out to help.
