“The Nicki Minaj tweet ignited a firestorm online, in which she claimed she wasn’t vaccinated because her cousin’s friend in Trinidad developed swollen testicles from a Covid vaccine. Of course, your cousin’s friend is a much more trusted source than all of the world’s doctors. That’s why in an emergency you always hear a man yelling, ‘Is anyone here someone’s cousin’s friend?’” —Stephen Colbert
“Outrage over Minaj’s claims and vaccine skepticism prompted Trinidad and Tobago’s minister of health to respond in a press conference: ‘There is absolutely no reported such side-effect of … testicular swelling in Trinidad, nor that we know of anywhere else in the world.’ Wait a second, sir, are you calling Nicki Minaj a liar? Because to do that takes some … wait a second.” —Stephen Colbert
