Nicki Minaj goes full covidiot ... "My cousin's friend" ... "It was a dark and stormy night

that stay in your body forever, but not TEH SCARY VACCINE

I have half a mind to sue the britches off of this SOB Doctor. He lied to me.

Hang on. My phone is ringing.

Wow. It's Lin Wood. He says he can help me out.

Extremely rare, but it happens. I don't think it's a good idea to silence or mock people who have experienced side effects.

based on a "my cousin's friend" anecdote that, even if true, may have nothing to do with the vaccine. People die because of all this anti-vaccine nonsense.

Some patient who takes a medication, then later has some symptom they think could possibly be a side effect and reports it, it goes into the database.

Rarely, someone will later do a study to test if the reported side effects actually have anything to do with the medication, but usually not.

That's how every headache medication lists headache as a potential side effect because, duh.


Especially where there's no plausible medical explanation for how the side effect might be related to the medication, take the side effect listings with a large grain of salt because they're meant to be very, very broad to the point of including dubious claims like this one.

I saw, one person claim the vaccine turned him into a newt. Though he also noted he got better.

…and the next thing you know Ellen Ripley is saving you from aliens.

I can go put the vax made me cheat on my girlfriend and made me steal a car. Anyone can put anything.

what their patients/customers state happened. But regardless, are we really taking the position that everything in the VAERS database is fraudulent? If anything, most side effects are underreported. I have a weird side effect of bruising since getting the vaccine and I never bothered to call Kroger to report it.

Also, have you taken a look at the amount of information you need to provide in a report? Not exactly something a ditzy trumper or someone with an axe to grind could necessarily get through. But yes, as with all things, I'm sure some fake reports are in the mix.



Any report that doesn't contain all of the information requested can easily be dismissed as fraudulent. It doesn't mention it in the instructions, but Lot numbers are requested too.

just means it happened around the same time, it in no way means the vaccine was involved. If someone got the vaccine, got swollen balls a week later it would be reported. The fact that on followup the urologist found testicular cancer would not be.

Might as well have blamed a toilet seat

I wish someone on social media would make that claim. Most of the male refusniks would be shoving each other out of the way to get the vaccine.

I'm betting this story is complete bullshit.

Edit: She's at least encouraging mask use so that's good I guess.

although I wouldn't trust her ability to evaluate scientific information (even before this). She's a Grammy winning rap star.

Is sudden impotency a good enough reason to call off a wedding, or is it cruel?

But, impotence that exists prior to marriage is grounds for annulment. That's not the case if it occurs after the marriage.
Here in Illinois, though impotence is not to be considered in a divorce.
So, is it enough reason to call off the wedding? Probably, since it's grounds for annulment.
All that said, I don't believe a bit of this Minaj story.
I think she's making the whole thing up.

Human behavior and decision making is complex. Perhaps the partner really wanted to have biological children with the other partner and as a result of the impotence, that desire is no longer possible. To some, it would be grounds to terminate the relationship. Cruel? Sure, you can make that argument. Valid? That argument can be made as well. People cancel weddings and terminate relationships for many reasons from "cold feet", to realizing that they are getting married for the wrong reasons, to just not feeling that same attraction/connection to the partner. Any decision can be cruel and painful, but that doesn't make it not valid.

Here is my take on the topic in general. Minaj tweeted a story with very little context, in order to address a serious and significant public health situation and decision. We don't know of the story is even real, what the underlying issues were, whether the "impotence" was from any vaccine or from a STI as some are responding, etc...

The point is that anecdotal information is not evidence and should NEVER be put out as reasoning on which to make a complex medical decision, especially when it affects public health. Influencers like Minaj need to think twice about what they send out, because a lot of impressionable people (especially young people) see their opinion as carrying weight.

So does that mean his balls swelled up after his vaccine, too?

I heard....

Nicki Minaj's cousin's friend's best man (Brent Terhune) also had something to say...
