Minaj rapped by Fauci

Dr. Anthony Fauci has thrown cold water on Nicki Minaj’s claim that the COVID-19 vaccine can cause swollen testicles and lead to impotence.

The 38-year-old rap superstar made the claim when she explained her absence from the Met Gala in a now-viral tweet.

“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,” Minaj wrote Monday afternoon.

During an interview on CNN on Tuesday, Fauci was asked by host Jake Tapper whether there is any evidence that the Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson jabs can adversely affect male or female reproductive systems.

“The answer to that, Jake, is a resounding no. There’s no evidence that it happens — nor is there any mechanistic reason to imagine that it would happen, so the answer to your question is no,” President Biden’s chief medical adviser responded.
