Although Nicki Minaj may eventually cave in the face of the mob's relentless full court press, her 'fifteen minutes of Covid fame' has awakened many people to their rights.
Occasionally a peek behind the iron curtain of our powerful institutions happens through unorthodox ways, as was the case when a pop star decided to cancel her attendance at one of America's premier social events because of vaccine requirements, thereby unleashing a veritable firestorm from sea to shining sea.
Nicki Minaj, the Trinidad-born rapper who has churned out a string of trashy smash hits over the last decade, is probably the last person I ever thought I'd be writing about. At the same time, it's probable that many readers of this publication have ever heard of this hip-hop star as well. Until last week, that is.
The story begins in early September, when Minaj announced she would not be attending the Met Gala fundraising event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City due to the Covid-19 vaccine requirement. Harmless enough, right? After all, 'my body, my choice;' if a citizen of a democracy comes to the conclusion that they don't want to receive a drug courtesy of the pharmaceutical industry then everyone should respect that decision and move on. Sadly, those days of free choice are quickly coming to an end.
"patience is wearing thin" for the 'anti-vaxxers' as he went on to declare a vaccine mandate for millions of American citizens. The draconian move will force companies with 100 or more employees to provide proof their workforce is fully vaccinated, or have their unvaccinated employees produce a negative Covid-19 test at least once a week. Overall, the plan will affect an estimated 80 million Americans, in addition to some 17 million workers at health facilities that receive federal Medicare or Medicaid.
Of the millions of U.S. citizens who condemned the move as a gross encroachment on freedom and liberty, pop star Nicki Minaj had suddenly found herself smack in the middle of the political swamp. On the right, she had become a heroine who had stood up to the covid authoritarians drunk on unchecked power. On the left, she was a treacherous traitor to the radical Democratic agenda which allows absolutely no dissent. Minaj's unforgivable crime was to remind people that, despite all outward indications, they do possess a frontal lobe and are capable of making decisions without Uncle Sam holding the proverbial gun to their heads.
"They want you to get vaccinated for the Met," Minaj wrote on Twitter. "if I get vaccinated it won't for the Met (sic). It'll be once I feel I've done enough research. I'm working on that now"
In a separate message, Minaj advised people to "make the decision yourselfdon't be bullied."
Here it's crucial to recall that Nicki Minaj is no ordinary social media presence. She has 22.8 million followers on Twitter - or about 10 million more than the American president - and 158 million on Instagram. With such massive clout and brand recognition, it would have been too conspicuous for Big Tech to have disappeared her down the memory hole, as has been done to countless millions of other 'wrong thinkers.'
So when Minaj announced to her millions of followers that she would delay getting the jab until "I feel I've done enough research," while 𝕏 claiming that a family friend back in Trinidad had become "impotent" after getting the vaccine, this was a shot across the bow of the U.S. establishment that is fully invested in getting every single American to roll up their sleeve.
Naturally, this caused the zombie media to go into full blown destructive mode. After all, how could anyone distrust the U.S. Mask & Vaccine Tsar Anthony Fauci, the very individual who Republican Senator Rand Paul has accused of funding, through the National Institute of Health, " Watch: Dr. Fauci, Sen. Rand Paul Clash During Congressional Hearing " research in Wuhan, China? Naturally, Fauci has vehemently denied the claims, as has China.
Meanwhile, Big Pharma enjoys full indemnity in the case of vaccine injuries and fatalities, yet somehow the people are shunned for questioning the safety and efficacy of their product. And yes, there are injuries that are believed to be a direct result of the vaccinations (For proof, watch this short video that documents what has happened to some of the people following their jabs here). These are real people whose lives have become completely upended overnight. They will never be the same again. This is not an argument against vaccinations, which have performed wonders in the past, but rather evidence that people should have the freedom to ask questions and do their own research without being turned into social pariahs. Finally, they should never be forced to take the vaccines on pain of losing their livelihood and excommunicated from polite society.
A closing word on the Met Gala. If the liberal elitists are so dogmatic about 'trusting the science,' and every single word that emanates from Joe Biden's teleprompted speeches, then why were the celebrities attending the event sans mask? Where were the Covid patrols to insist on proper pandemic etiquette? None of the celebrities were seen wearing their face diapers, whereas their attendants, seen adjusting the flowing gowns of the elite as they ascended the staircase, looked and performed like actual slaves. This is where the Democrat's vaccine narrative has broken down against the rocks of common sense and decency.
Although Nicki Minaj may eventually cave in the face of the mob's relentless full court press, as the majority of people ultimately do, her 'fifteen minutes of Covid fame' has awakened many people to their rights and that can only be a good thing in these modern times of troubles.
