Showcase Black Nicki Minaj made the headlines for telling her millions of fans to make informed, personal decisions over whether to have the Covid jab or not. Why all the fury, when patient autonomy is a founding principle of medicine?

Minaj didn’t attend this year’s Met Gala because of the red-carpet event’s Covid-19 vaccine requirement but, even though she missed the big ball, she still made international news… when she tweeted about her cousin’s friend’s swollen testicles.

“My cousin in Trinidad,” she explained, “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.”

A wave of heated criticism immediately followed, quickly growing into a testy exchange between the Super Bass artist and British provocateur Piers Morgan, who accused Minaj of “peddling lies” after England’s top medical adviser Chris Whitty insisted the rap star ought to be “ashamed” and that her sordid secondhand tale was a “myth” and “clearly ridiculous.” Anthony Fauci, Whitty’s American counterpart, echoed from across the pond, saying, “There’s no evidence that it happens, nor is there any mechanistic reason to imagine that it would happen.” The health minister of Nicki’s native Trinidad weighed in as well, insisting that she had made a “false claim.” [how would a country’s health minister know what really went on with his junk?]

The real point here as explained by Infowars is, '“We’ve been assured, without caveat [by the billionaire profiteer makers of the injections, a media dependent on said elites and governments] that these vaccines are completely safe. That isn’t true. . .

We’ve been assured, in no uncertain terms, that these vaccines are 100% effective.

That’s becoming less and less evident every day.” [MORE]

More specifically, in July 2021 a medical study that appeared on the government’s National Library of Medicine website called "The Safety of COVID-19 Vaccinations — We Should Rethink the Policy" explained that the COVID vaccines are effective but carry significant risk of death and serious side effects. The doctors who authored the study, Harald Walach Rainer (Poznan University of the Medical Sciences, Pediatric Hospital in Poland ) J. Klement (Department of Radiation Oncology, Leopoldina Hospital, Germany) and Wouter Aukem (Independent Data and Pattern Scientist, Brinkenbergweg, The Netherlands), explain that ‘governments should rethink their vaccination policies in light of the deadly risks involved.’

The study was removed from the internet and replaced with a version that has “retracted” stamped across it. Nevertheless, none of the information was corrected. The original is posted here. The abstract states:

COVID-19 vaccines have had expedited reviews without sufficient safety data. We wanted to compare risks and benefits. Method: We calculated the number needed to vaccinate (NNTV) from a large Israeli field study to prevent one death. We accessed the Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) database of the European Medicines Agency and of the Dutch National Register (lareb.nl) to extract the number of cases reporting severe side effects and the number of cases with fatal side effects. Result: The NNTV is between 200–700 to prevent one case of COVID-19 for the mRNA vaccine marketed by Pfizer, while the NNTV to prevent one death is between 9000 and 50,000 (95% confidence interval), with 16,000 as a point estimate. The number of cases experiencing adverse reactions has been reported to be 700 per 100,000 vaccinations. Currently, we see 16 serious side effects per 100,000 vaccinations, and the number of fatal side effects is at 4.11/100,000 vaccinations. For three deaths prevented by vaccination we have to accept two inflicted by vaccination. Conclusions: This lack of clear benefit should cause governments to rethink their vaccination policy.
