Hold Up: Nicki Minaj Giving Medical Advice?
Dr. Minaj, is that you? People on social media had a lot to say when rapper Nicki Minaj tweeted that a COVID vaccination gave her cousin’s friend swollen testicles, left him impotent and resulted in a canceled wedding. We look at the power of celebrity, how public health communications can intersect with misinformation campaigns, and how the U.S. government failed us, yet again, in protecting us from a global pandemic.
Host: Eteng Ettah
Producer: Genevieve Montinar
Original Music Compositions by: Brandon Bagaason
