The White House has offered to connect Nicki Minaj with one of the Biden administration’s doctors to address her questions about the Covid-19 vaccine.
This ‘educational’ call comes after the Trinidad-born rapper’s bizarre tweet alleging the Covid-19 vaccine causes impotence, went viral.
The White House said that they’ve offered such calls with others concerned about the vaccine as well, all part of an aggressive public relations campaign to curb rampant disinformation about the Covid vaccine’s safety and effectiveness.
Minaj tweeted Wednesday that the White House has invited her, and but a White House official said the rapper was simply offered a call.
Minaj made headlines earlier this week when she noted in a tweet to her more than 22.6 million followers that the Met Gala required attendees to be vaccinated, and that she wouldn’t get the shot until “I feel I’ve done enough research.”
In another tweet, the rapper shared an unverified story about a cousin’s friend in Trinidad. who “became impotent” and “his testicles became swollen” after receiving the shot.
The Biden administration meanwhile has used new ways to refute disinformation and reach young vaccine skeptics. Earlier this year, US officials invited teen pop star Olivia Rodrigo to the White House to show her support for the shot.
