A worker pasted a 6-foot band-aid on the iconic blue whale at the Museum of Natural History, just ahead of the museum’s debut as a vaccination hub. Was the whale vaccinated? Is it feeling sympathy pains?
We reached out to the Museum for answers and will update when the news comes in.
Update: “The implication is clear,” a source at the Museum told us. The blue whale got the shot.
🐋 We've received many questions about the blue whale's bandage: It's real. It was installed yesterday by Trenton from the Exhibition department! It's 6 feet long & 2 feet wide.
Come see it for yourself! Register for a vaccine today: https://t.co/smuMuIshDy#NYCVaccineForAll pic.twitter.com/8ZoihfXp4w

Blue Whale got its Fauci Ouchie.
I love this.
Great idea! Now, maybe we could put a mask on the Statue of Liberty, or better yet, two masks!
LOVE the idea of a mask on the Statue of Liberty. We need to make that happen!
Also, the Bandaid on the whale reminds me of the old Robert McCloskey book, “Burt Dow, Deep Water Man.”
She needs no mask! She’s outside and secluded.
Was it a Johnson & Johnson brand band-aid?
I love the shared compassion. It should also go both ways in how we treat Marine life.
Thank you blue whale for getting vaccinated.
Might help some of your human friends to follow in your wake
I wonder how this gigantic whale got through the museum’s tiny entrance. Impressive view with human together.
Happy Earth Day‼️
Earth Day is the day designated for fostering appreciation of the earth’s environment and awareness of the issues that threaten it.
“Harpooning them em’
There once was a whale in a museum
whose city had decided to host a series of vacinnes underneath him
A 6ft Band-aid was hoisted atop this Blue Mammal a quirky Symbol of Immunity and Free Krispy Donuts go there, you’ll see.
The people were beckoned upstream to come get there shot an added Bonus they also can look at some Art!
Good for you but how big was the needle?
