#FMPolitics: Offset Doesn’t Trust the COVID-19 Vaccine
Offset tells TMZ that he “doesn’t trust it though” when reporters tell him that only 14% of the black community trusts the vaccine. To back up his claim, he mentioned some of the results of the Pfizer vaccine tests that are now viral. These results show patients of the vaccine test that are experiencing Bell’s Palsy, which is a condition that causes the face muscles to be in temporary paralysis.

Despite the Bell’s Palsy occurring in the vaccine test group, the FDA claims that there is no link between the condition and the vaccine. For Offset, the pictures alone were enough to convince him not to take the vaccine.
The reporter also mentions that Barack Obama is ready to take the Coronavirus vaccine on camera and asks Offset if that will make him feel better about the vaccine. His response is a short and sure “na”. Offset claims that a lot of celebrities are also getting priority over others in terms of getting the vaccine. He believes this is unfair because it takes away that opportunity from people that might have a more dire need for it.
This statement comes from his personal experience as he mentions, “If I go to a hospital here…they’re gonna admit me fast.” He thinks this preferential treatment should not be done with the Coronavirus vaccine.
Celebrities are thought leaders in their own right, so only time will tell if people will share the same sentiment as Offset in terms of the COVID-19 Vaccinations.
