Nicki Minaj attacked for questioning vaccine

Spooky · 09-16-2021, 05:25 AM

This tweet resolved in a shit storm hailfire including several Mainstream Media Outlets making up headlines of her not getting vaxxed, being selfish, etc.

What do you all think of this?

Unfortunately, some people will risk dying because they heard "Nicki Minaj's cousin's friend in Trinidad" had swollen balls...

"Let me do the research" and then proceeds to make a twitter poll about which vaccines I am screaming

"Let me do my own research first" - says the wife of a sexual predator.

If you have concerns, talk to your doctor about them. I wouldn't take Nicki Minaj's word on her cousin with swollen balls. But I also don't condone the hate she's been receiving over it. If you're that easily swayed by celebrities, you should take a break from social media.

By all means Nicki Minaj is not a great person. Including the stance she took on her brother who raped someone.
But its irrelevant to say that she can't make an informed decision about an experimental drug because of her past.

100%. Don’t let her words easily sway you but only keep them in mind when making an informed decision. She is basically saying to not be bullied into a decision, and its very interesting the conflict that was sparked.

If her intend was "don't be bullied" she should have said that. However, people are going to be outraged regardless. There's a difference between being looked down upon by society for making a choice that negatively impacts others, results in the death of another person, vs making an informed decision on well evidence medical grounds. You might choose against the vaccine because you have valid medical conditions. But to use Nicki's example of "someone became impotent after claiming they are a virgin" (keep in mind that's well associated with STDs) was never going to fly well.

Regardless of her intentions, it was a shit message that she didn't think through. I don't hate her, I just believe she made a poor choice.

This is also a fantastic point. Celebrities shouldn't be the reason you make such an important choice like that.
