Singer Nicki Minaj sparked an international outcry this week when she falsely claimed her cousin’s friend in Trinidad became impotent from taking the COVID-19 vaccine. Doctors, experts, believers in science, and even the White House were quick to debunk the claims. But at least she has New York gubernatorial candidate Andrew Guiliani in her corner.
“His testicles became swollen. His friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding,” the 10-time Grammy nominee tweeted on Monday.
My cousin in Trinidad won’t 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 you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied

Yesterday, Giulinai tweeted his support for Minaj, as well as other conservative-leaning Black celebrities who he says get “trashed” by the media for speaking out against “Democrat Group-Think.”
“Any black celebrity who disagrees with the Democrat Group-Think gets absolutely trashed by the Leftist Media. See @kanyewest, @icecube, @lilwaynehq_2, not to mention @larryelder,” he tweeted.
How about we take this to the next level?

This is ? on ? @NICKIMINAJ, keep speaking your peace! https://t.co/ijmVZn8B2y

Except that Minaj’s “peace” is simply untrue. The COVID-19 vaccine does not make your balls swell up or cause impotency.
Trinidad’s Health Minister issued a statement yesterday saying there are absolutely no reports of anyone on the Caribbean island suffering swollen testicles as a result of the COVID-19 vaccine.
When Dr. Anthony Fauci was asked about Minaj’s tweet, he politely suggested she “think twice” before sharing baseless claims with her nearly 23 million Twitter followers.
And the White House even offered to have its doctor call Minaj to answer whatever questions she might have about the vaccine.
Now, here are the responses to Giuliani’s tweet…
You do realize the swollen testicle thing was a lie

You know the names of five black people. Congratulations.

Please go away forever. She spread misinformation & tried to back track when we got in her ass for it. Trinidad wasted resources & time because of her incorrect statement. She isn’t getting trashed because she’s being open minded. She’s getting trashed cause she lied

If not indulging in “Democratic Group-Think” involves lying and wrapping one’s brown arms around white nationalists, I’ll have the “Democratic Group-Think”, please.

Minaj says that she now plans on getting the vaccine… so she can go on tour again.

The cousin’s friend really called off the wedding because the guy cheated on her, got Chlamydia, then tried to blame it on the Covid Vaccine because he was embarrassed she broke off the relationship.
So of COURSE Giuliani and other Republicans are huge fans of STDs.
Mister P
These Republicans are trying to out do each other in stupidity.
We can confidently say they win. They are all stupid.

And yet “I stand with Nicki” is trending on Twitter as we speak…still wanna argue with me that COVID will end because there’s a vaccine? Unfortunately stupid celebrities spreading lies on social media have more pull with the public than respected scientists. And as long as that’s the case, we’re screwed.

Do we really feel sorry for these dimwits when they get Covid? Really?

“Minaj says that she now plans on getting the vaccine… so she can go on tour again.”
Stupid hoe.
Mr. Stadnick
Anyone who takes medical advise from Nicki Minaj gets what they paid for. She has made an ass out of herself again and she will certainly do it again. Does she have no PR people? I know she surrounds herself with yes men and women I have worked with them and it was horrible. No one was allowed to look at Nicki Minaj. Easily done!

The other thing about Minaj’s anti-vaxx stunt was that it covered up a discussion of her husband, who allegedly failed to report himself as a sex offender after moving from New York to California. You can do better, Nicki, you really can, on everything.

Gotta love these right wing hacks. They’re jumping on a bandwagon with absolutely no proof that it happened. Just that some singer said it was a friend of a relative in another country. The guy could have VD, kicked in the balls, or any number of something that could have just coincidentally happen at the time someone got a shot, IF IT HAPPENED AT ALL.
Vince
The fact that she has 23 million followers… I mean dopes is terrifying.
