Guardian Me­dia took to the streets in Cen­tral and South Trinidad to get some thoughts on what you, the peo­ple, thought about Tri­ni-born hip hop star Nic­ki Mi­naj’s claims about the COVID-19 vac­cine and its link to swollen tes­ti­cles and im­po­ten­cy. Claims that have been de­bunked both lo­cal­ly and by in­ter­na­tion­al health ex­perts.

You have to have ev­i­dence stat­ing about what hap­pen to the in­di­vid­ual, for in­stance you have to have a re­port from the doc­tor and what the doc­tor says; is it facts or fic­tion. So the whole thing about it, did it hap­pen to him alone, or oth­er men in so­ci­ety, world­wide or in the Caribbean? You have to get your fact straight and ev­i­dence of what is tak­ing place of the in­di­vid­ual.

She just needs to get the facts right first of all. Her com­ment here about the swollen tes­ti­cles, they al­so need to seek med­ical at­ten­tion to find out what is re­al­ly caus­ing the swollen tes­ti­cles and if she has an opin­ion for the vac­cine or against the vac­cine she should keep it to her­self.
