No reports of 'testicular swelling in Trinidad': Nicki Minaj’s claim dismissed – video
Terrence Deyalsingh, Trinidad and Tobago’s health minister, has dismissed claims by the rapper Nicki Minaj that her cousin’s friend had become impotent after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine. 'As we stand now, there is absolutely no reported suchside effect or adverse event of testicular swelling in Trinidad … and none that we know of anywhere in the world,' Deyalsingh said in a press conference. Deyalsingh lamented the time health officials spent investigating the claim, saying that they 'take all these claims seriously'. Minaj prompted a global backlash with a tweet in which she claimed that a cousin’s friend had become impotent after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine.
