Krispy Kreme is responding to criticism over a controversial new promotion.

The company offered a free Original Glazed donut to any customer who showed their COVID vaccination card during the transaction.

The franchise announced the promotion, which is available to any customers that have received one of two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or a single shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, is available at location nationwide and will continue until the end of 2021.

Social media users were quick to criticize the offer given that the CDC has identified obesity as a risk factor for COVID-19.

Even Stephen Colbert added his two-cents, tweeting, “Krispy Kreme is offering free donuts to anyone who’s been vaccinated. Which is great news for anyone who got the shot but still has a death wish.”

The company’s CEO Mike Tattersfield defended the controversial promotion in an interview with Yahoo! Finance on Friday (March 26).

“We’re a sweet treat company, [and] if folks don’t want to visit a donut shop, they don’t have to,” he said.

Mike continued, “Folks that want to get a vaccine, if they decide to combine a Krispy Kreme pickup [for] a doughnut, they can. That’s how we look at it… generosity.”

“I drop off a lot of doughnuts to the healthcare system. They’re very appreciative, given the days that they have to work…people are always looking for a little sweet treat break. It’s okay,” he added.

In addition to the free donut promotion, Krispy Kreme will also be delivering free donuts to vaccination centers across the country in the coming weeks to give back to health care workers and volunteers administering vaccines. They will also be giving employees four hours of paid time off to encourage them to get the vaccine.

“We’ve always done fundraising and had some type of give back to the community,” Mike said. “The majority of the United States is a company owned system, so we pick up the tab.”

Amy Schumer went all out to get the coronavirus vaccine and dressed up in her fanciest dress to mark the occasion.

The 39-year-old comedian shared her experience on her Instagram, highlighting all the work healthcare workers are doing to keep others safe during the experience.

“I want to thank all the brave people in the medical field. But more than them I want to give a shout out to me,” she said in her Instagram caption. “I’m awesome I love the people of New York. Even the annoying ones. It’s nice to see all of them. I feel excited and hopeful. I hope you do too.”

After her shot, Amy also spoke to the room of people in line to get more vaccines against the coronavirus.

“I just wanted to maybe entertain some of the workers here and during your 15 minutes, but I’m sorry if you were going to use this time to meditate,” she joked in the video.

While Amy might have been the fanciest dress person in a glittery gold number with open shoulders, she was still comfy and wore a pair of leggings and sneakers to complete her ensemble.

Just recently, Amy and her husband, Chris Fisher, celebrated three years of marriage.

Comedian Dave Chappelle has just announced two new comedy shows that will have live audiences, but the attendees will be required to take a rapid Coronavirus test at the door despite your vaccination status.

You read that right: even if you’re vaccinated, you will need to take a rapid Coronavirus test. If the test is positive for any attendee and their family member, they will be denied entry to the show.

The shows will take place at Connecticut’s Foxwoods Resort and Casino in late June.

“Masks will be required at all times while in the venue,” the event page added. “Additionally, each ticket holder will receive a mandatory rapid COVID-19 antigen test, prior to entering the venue. If COVID-19 is detected by the rapid test, that individual and all members of the same household will not be allowed to enter and will be given a refund.”

Legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma surprised those waiting in a vaccine waiting area at Berkshire Community College in Pittsfield, Massachusetts on Saturday (March 13).
