The White House has offered Nicki Minaj a call with a doctor, according to an official, after she expressed concerns this week about getting the COVID-19 vaccine. The rapper tweeted on Monday that she wants to do more research before getting vaccinated and claimed that a friend of her cousin's had experienced adverse effects from it, which health officials have refuted.

"My cousin in Trinidad won't get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen," Minaj tweeted Monday. "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's tweet immediately sparked global backlash, with several health professionals commenting on her post that the vaccine does not cause testicles to swell. Dr. Anthony Fauci also responded to her claims, telling CNN on Tuesday that the COVID vaccine cannot cause reproductive issues.

Trinidad and Tobago Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh said at a press conference on Wednesday that officials have "wasted so much time" checking Minaj's claim about her cousin's friend.

1. My first thought was they should ignore her, but now I think it's a good idea.

I just hope they can get through to her - she has almost 24M followers on Twitter.

2. Is there anyone with whom she hasn't picked a fight?

Or attempted to create drama of some sort?

5. Perhaps no one told Nicki's cousin's friend that the shot goes in his ARM!

6. Funny thing about that . . .

The Covid-19 vaccine has shown no propensity for swelling up a man's balls or making him impotent. But certain sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis have those unpleasant effects. That might be the reason your cousin's friend's fiancee decided to call off the wedding.

But the drama of blaming the vaccine is so much more intoxicating, isn't it?
