Janet Jackson had a smash hit in 1986 with the help of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis called Control. I had just started graduate school, not even contemplating I would eventually become an infectious disease scientist. At the time, my focus was a dual track master’s degree in statistics and educational psychology. There is a stanza in the song where she sings: “Got my own mind, I want to make my own decisions. When it has to do with my life, my life, I wanna be the one in control.” This is the message I have taken from Nicki Minaj with respect to her judgement making process pertaining to deciding to take any of the Covid-19 cell therapies. But it has proven that deciding what one puts in their body or simply asking rational and reasonable questions regarding such a decision is taboo.
All she said was "do your own research” and “pray on it." Immediately the leftist mob translated this as being “misinformation." The attacks were particularly the most vociferous from other black folk in white face including but not limited to Don Lemon and Joy Reid. Reid was so against the vaccine when Trump was in office, going as far as saying "how can we trust the CDC and FDA?" Fact is that the hip-hop artist did not spread any misinformation at all. They lied about her like they lie about everything else. Even Dr. flip flop himself, Anthony Stephen Fauci had some smart shi# to say, as well as members of the Biden administration. What Nicki Minaj did was provide an anecdote, or interesting story about a real incident or person. It would be no different than I saying that in my daughter class, hornets stung everyone in the room and one person had a seizure as a result, doesn’t imply it is the same outcome for all, but that it was real and happened.
The fact remains that the vaccine was rushed. The clinical trial process is lengthy. In my profession with respect to vaccine development, clinical trials usually take six to seven years on average to complete. Prior the development of a potential medical treatment or vaccine gets to the clinical trial stage, there is a discovery phase which alone can take from three to six years.
The Biden administration desires to mandate these insufficiently evaluated so-called mRNA vaccines for the entire population for some reason unbeknownst to me. However, it is not being required for all. If the legislative and judicial branches are exempt from the vaccination, then everyone should be exempt. If they do not have to be vaccinated, why should anyone? In contrast, their message to Nicki Minaj is simply “get back in line - don’t you know black people aren’t allowed to think for themselves?”
Everyone is attacking her because this sister has common sense. I'm not even a follower of her or her music but she's right – folk should only get the vaccine when they are ready and assured in their decision. This should be the logical and rational decision-making path for anyone. Not because of pressure from the others, especially the media. Joy Reid, as Don Lemon, are just your standard run of the mill empty-head mouthpiece that repeat what they are told to say. Not to mention, they attack anyone and everyone who has different ideas and views than they have. This is Socialism make no mistake because the goal is to control every aspect of people lives.
But innuendo aside, let us get into the science. Unlike many who speak on following the science, I do and have my entire career as a Behavioral Epidemiologist and infectious disease scientist. The first point of order is that there are NO studies that can accurately state what the long-term effects of any of the Covid-19 vaccines on the market, regardless if they are from the U.S., China or Russia. Like I mentioned earlier, clinical trials usually take six to seven years on average to complete.
