Trinidad and Tobago's health minister responded to Nicki Minaj's claims about her cousin's friend becoming impotent from a COVID-19 vaccine.

September 15, 2021 Trinidad and Tobagos health minister responded to Nicki Minajs claims about her cousins friend becoming impotent from a COVID-19 vaccine. The health minister of Trinidad and Tobago spoke out against Nicki Minajs bizarre claimabout a COVID-19 vaccinations effect on testicles. Dr. Terrence Deyalsingh said Trinidad and Tobago health officials could find no evidenceof a COVID-19 vaccine causing swollen testicles and impotency. Earlier this week, Nicki Minaj claimed her cousins friend in Trinidad suffered from those side effects after getting vaccinated. Unfortunately, we wasted so much time yesterday running down this false claim, Dr. Deyalsingh said at a press conference. As far as we know, at this point in time, there has been no such reported either side effect or adverse event. Although Nickis tweets became a source of humor on social media, Deyalsingh noted health officials had to look into her claims. He expressed frustration over his department devoting time and energy to a wild conspiracy theory in the midst of the global pandemic. And what was sad about this is that it wasted our time yesterday trying to track down because we take all these claims seriously, whether it is on social media or mainstream media, he revealed. As we stand now, there is absolutely no reported such side effect or adverse event of testicular swelling in Trinidad, or I dare say Dr. Hines, anywhere else. None that we know of anywhere else in the world. @NICKIMINAJ My cousin in Trinidad wont get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen. His friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding. So just pray on it & make sure youre comfortable with ur decision, not bullied Read more
