Health officials in Trinidad and Tobago have dismissed Nicki Minaj’s claims on the effects of COVID-19.<\/p>\n
Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh revealed that health officials take all claims on the vaccine seriously.<\/p>\n
“As we stand now, there is absolutely no reported side effect or adverse event of testicular swelling in Trinidad… and none that we know of anywhere in the world,” he said in a press conference on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
However, Nicki Minaj says the cousin won’t the vaccine because his friend got it and became impotent.<\/p>\n
“My cousin in Trinidad won\u2019t 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\u2019re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied,” she tweeted.<\/p>\n
