Dr. Anthony Fauci has shared his thoughts on Nicki Minaj’s claim that someone’s testicles were affected by the COVID-19 vaccine.
In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, President Joe Biden’s chief medical advisor explained that there’s “no evidence” that COVID-19 vaccines cause a loss of fertility.
“The answer to that, Jake, is a resounding no,” Fauci said. “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.’”
Nicki’s tweet in question, which read that a friend of her cousin “became impotent” and “his testicles became swollen,” was one of a few that have caused a stir on social media, as Minaj has been trading shots with pundits thoughout the day.
Fauci reiterated that misinformation regarding vaccines is spread mostly on social media.
