Nicki Minaj's cousin won't get the COVID vaccine because it made his friend impotent, or so the story goes

We like the last part of pop star Nicki Minaj’s tweet about not letting anyone bully you into a decision on getting or not getting the COVID-19 vaccine. But her cousin in Trinidad isn’t going to get the vaccine because his friend got it and it made him impotent, and now his fiancé has called off their wedding.

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

Can't wait to see what, if anything, Twitter does with this. https://t.co/hbNXvtulEn

Twitter is pretty strict about disseminating COVID misinformation, especially from celebrities.

That’s entirely enough internet for today. https://t.co/emqltXR5Z5

Putting aside that the most likely explanation is the friend caught an STD and didn’t want to tell his fiancé, the dominant vaccine in Trinidad is Sinopharm (less effective vaccine from China) and there is no evidence that the vaccines cause impotence. https://t.co/5TYX82rAWE

Probably right, but Nicki's story is much more entertaining.

Stop denying Nicki's lived experience

We're all in agreement that some dude in Trinidad cheated on his girl and tried to blame the STD on COVID, yes?

My friend's friend got the vaccine and his foreskin became sentient and then turned into a jazz crooner. Now my friend's friend can't go to the bathroom without "I've got you under my skin" wafting out of his pants when he pulls down his zipper https://t.co/ArrvT4GsBZ

As a former Medical Director of a Sexually Transmitted Infection Clinic, I’ll go out on a limb here, and suggest that there are quite a few things in the epididymoorchitis differential that are more likely than a novel vaccine adverse effect. https://t.co/Qi0u9RWbsF

"Doctor, there's a man running around unvaccinated & I think he might be health risk. Could you have word with him?"
"Got it. Do you have a description?"
"Um, he might be wearing a wedding suit."
"Anything else?"
"Well…" https://t.co/q5SRCFywzr
