According to media reports, MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle claims that unvaccinated people can only work from home, the New York Times is accused of “attending to the Bidens” after calling Hunter Biden’s story “not ‘Kamala Harris is questioned after announcing steps to’ protect ‘vaccinees’
The co-hosts of the morning radio show “The Breakfast Club” ended up with MSNBC host Joy Reid for scolding rapper superstar Nicki Minaj for her vaccine skepticism.
Minaj made waves on social media when he announced Monday that he would not attend the Met Gala for COVID vaccine attendees, and urged his nearly 23 million Twitter followers to do his research before taking a decision for themselves. Among other tweets about the vaccine, there is a non-scientific survey he conducted on vaccine preference between Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.
Reid, however, blasted Minaj for not firmly promoting the vaccine.

“You have a platform, sister, that’s 22 million followers, okay? I have 2 million followers. You have 22 million followers on Twitter,” Reid told Minaj. “Use your platform to encourage our community not to protect themselves and save lives, sister God, you can do better! You have this platform, it’s a blessing to have it! People are listening to you! – and you they listen more than to me! “
“Because you use your platform to put people in the position of dying of a disease from which they should not die, oh God, sister. As a fan, as a hip-hop fan, as someone who is your fan I’m so sad you did it, so sad you did it, sister. Oh my God, “Reid added.
After Minaj fired at the “ReidOut” host, he was murdered with various insults and racial insults.
On Tuesday morning, The Breakfast Club influenced the audience, expressing disappointment for the MSNBC star.
“I respect Joy-Ann Reid. She’s the man, but yesterday she missed a real moment to teach because Nicki never said not to get the vaccine,” co-host Charlamagne Tha God reacted. “Like, he talked about why he was hesitant, but also in the next tweet he’ll probably be vaccinated to go on tour. Like Joy could have used that moment in his show to correct Nicki about any misinformation he posted.”

“People can’t be embarrassed either,” co-host DJ Envy intervened. “Equally, you have to allow people to make it when they make their own decision. For example, this is something new, this is something that- every two days, something changes, something is different, we don’t know how it affects this , wear a mask, triple mask, don’t wear a mask, go out, no, you can’t go out, nobody knows! And that’s your decision and your choice. “
Charlamagne complained about how Reid avoided having an “educational moment” and fueled a “counter” battle with the hip-hop artist.
Co-host Angela Yee read aloud Minaj’s tweets attacking the MSNBC host, including one invoking a tweet Reid wrote nearly a year ago expressing doubts about the President Trump-led vaccine, and wrote, “Who in God’s green land would trust a @US-FDA vaccine?”

“And that’s why you have to be more funny,” Charlamagne said. “Because a few months ago, that’s how she felt. And there are still some people who feel that way. Why not use those moments to teach instead of basking in each other?”
Reid hasn’t responded to publicly yet.
