We erred earlier today when we called it “peak 2021” that Dr. Anthony Fauci had addressed Nicki Minaj’s tweet about her cousin in Trinidad whose friend’s wedding was ruined because the coronavirus vaccine gave him swollen testicles.
What’s really peak 2021 is the health minister of Trinidad & Tobago addressing Minaj’s tweet. He’s ticked because he says they take every claim seriously and wasted a lot of time trying to verify her claim.

He was very dignified considering the subject of the
conversation.— Justa OleLady (@JudithT11464317) September 15, 2021
It’s his job.
Minaj has the Prime Minister going door to door looking for a man with gigantic nuts. Damn.

As funny as this is, it sucks they felt they needed to address this.

"We wasted so much time yesterday running down this false claim." That's how misinformation often wins, especially during this pandemic, it just wears down the decent, responsible people and drains resources and precious time. This is the unfunny side of the Minaj tweet.

Yes, but the funny side makes it so worth it.
