America's grandad and the nation's leading infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci warmed up the hearts of many and assured children everywhere that Santa Claus would still make his yearly visit because Santa is immune to COVID-19. Well, there goes my theory of telling children that Santa didn't make it during the pandemic- because, you know, he has a few underlying conditions like obesity, probably diabetes (because of all those cookies) and he's thousands of years old!

Nevertheless, we can all be assured that Santa Claus is coming to town and will be spreading nothing but Christmas joy, not COVID-19. While it is adorable that Dr. Fauci is reassuring children about Santa, it also begs the question: If Santa is immune, does that mean his plasma is our golden ticket out of this? If Santa sees everything, how can he not see that we are in dire need of his plasma to help those who are sick?!

Apparently, I'm not the only one who has these thoughts because a quick search on Twitter will show that lots of others are thinking the same thing! I think we can all agree that this is totally the year that we all put our childhood dreams to the test and CATCH the Santa Claus!

We all want to know about that plasma, Santa!


This is the year that instead of gifts, we want Santa's blood!

 

I also think that if anything, this is a job for Nicholas Cage!

If anyone is wondering what to ask Santa for this year:

But, wait, what about the elves? Are they immune?! We need answers, Fauci!

This is the year we kidnap the Santa Claus!
