The Apprentice star Navid Sole has been revealed as an anti-vaxxer. 

27-year-old pharmacist appears in the next series of BBC’s show. She hopes to start a profitable pharmacy with Lord Sugar’s help.

However, a now-deleted tweet from September 2021 reveals that Navid has very different views from pro-vaccine campaigner Lord Sugar, as Navid is against the Covid jab and praised pop star Nicki Minaj for ‘standing up’ for the anti-vaxx community after she tweeted misleading comments about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.

Nicki was sent a tweet on September 17 that said: “@NickiMinaj, it’s worth billion.” Pfizer. Trust me Nicki. I’m a Phharmscist. [sic]I hesitated to speak out about the fact that I oppose vaccines, as I was too afraid to. Otherwise I could lose my Pharmscist license. [sic]Thank you Queen for being there for me and so many other people.

It is not a law that says pharmacists can lose their license if it’s against the vaccine. The Covid vaccine was administered to Navid. 

The vaccine will be mandatory for all NHS staff and members of the social care workforce in England starting April 2022. However, it is not required for most people. community pharmacists and their teams are not covered by the mandate because the majority of pharmacies are not regulated by the Care Quality Commission [CQC].

The vaccine is not mandatory, but it’s recommended for everyone. pharmacy professionals, the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) has ‘strongly urged’ all pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to get the vaccine ‘wherever’ they work, unless medically exempt.   

MailOnline reached out to Navid and The Apprentice spokespersons for comments.

Barbz: Navid – who is a self-confessed Nicki Minaj ‘super fan’ shared his anti-vax views after the rapper came under fire for debunked comments she made about Covid-19 vaccine side effects

Navid, who calls herself a Nicki Mnaj super fan, shared his antivax opinions after she was criticized for making debunked statements about Covid-19 side effects.

Nicki, who was not vaccinated last September, said that she didn’t want to go to the Met Gala as it had an exemption for her. Later she disclosed that she was also positive for Covid-19.

ARE PHARMACISTS REQUIRED TO GET THE COVID VACCINE?  

If workers are not exempt, health care and social services providers in England must ensure that they have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by April 1.

Only pharmacies which perform CQC-regulated activity and pharmacists/pharmacy technicians who work in GP surgeries and hospitals will be subject to this requirement.

Because the CQC does not regulate most pharmacies, the mandate doesn’t cover many community pharmacists or their teams. 

General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), a non-profit organization, urged pharmacists to receive the vaccine. 

A statement released on November 10 read: ‘We noted in our response that the government was not proposing to extend the legal mandate to people working in pharmacies regulated by the GPhC.

“We urge pharmacists to have flu and COVID-19 vaccinations as soon as possible, even if they are not medically exempt. We also ask that pharmacy technicians encourage their colleagues to be vaccinated.”

After linking part of her hesitation in getting the vaccine with a story about a friend who had’swollen testicles’ after receiving the shot, the Super Bass rapper received a lot of ridicule on social media.

‘My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. He had his testicles swollen. His friend had been weeks away from marrying, and now she has cancelled the wedding. So just pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bulled.’

Trinidad’s chief of health Dr. Terrence Deliasingh has criticized the artist for false claims. The health department also had to criticize the rapper because it had “wasted so many time running down that false claim.”

Deyalsingh stated that after the vaccinations in Trinidad, no impotence cases or swellings of the testicles were reported.  

Navid’s comments on vaccines are contrary to Lord Sugar’s views. He wanted all Apprentice candidates to get vaccinated. However, BBC bosses clarified later that it was logistically impossible at the time since they started filming right at the beginning of the pandemic.

The Apprentice boss, 74, wanted entrepreneurs competing for his £250,000 investment to be jabbed after he counted taking a ‘harrowing’ total of 79 Covid tests since the start of the pandemic, leaving him with a ‘broken septum’, yet logistically it wasn’t possible to do in time. 

MailOnline was informed by Lord Sugar that candidates had to have been double-vaccinated prior to taking part in this year’s contest. To put it another way, the Covid protocol was difficult.

“My most recent count showed that I had done 79 Covid test, and I didn’t get Covid. However, my septum has been broken.” The criteria required that they be at least twice vaccinated.

“One thing that I can assure you is that there will be no one mask for the entire 12 episodes. This was not an easy task.

“This shows how creative and resilient people can become when facing difficult problems. This is something that the British are great at. Covid presented a challenge, but we rose to the occasion and did it with grace. Some great results came out of this, in a humorous way.

 

Debunked: Nicki revealed she was not vaccinated and was widely mocked after claiming a cousin's friend in Trinidad became impotent after getting the vaccine

Debunked. Nicki confessed she had not been vaccinated. Nicki was ridiculed after saying that her cousin in Trinidad was rendered unable to work after being given the vaccine. 

MailOnline later received clarification from a spokesperson for The Apprentice: “The Apprentice was film during the very beginning stages of the vaccination rollout, before people were being double vaccinated.”

“Strict protocols were established to safeguard those involved in the production. These measures included regular testing and living together as a group. They also include social distancing for people who are not part of that cohort. 

Navid is one of 16 new candidates who will be battling it out in the boardroom in a bid to win Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment in their business. 

While he might be trying his hardest to win the cash prize money, it was revealed that Navid does not have enough money. The heir of a multimillion-pound fortune travels more than 40 times per year and is the beneficiary.

He took a look at her kitchen and said: “Mine is slightly larger, but I don’t like to cook.” That stuff is handled by someone else. There are no beans on the toast.

Queen looked at his bedroom and gloated that it was all brand-name. My own bathroom and walk-in closet are mys. 

“I travel between three and four times per month. One of the best ones I have been to was when I traveled with my parents to Brazil, Argentina. It was roughly £20,000 and we flew in first class and stayed in five-star hotels.’

Navid also revealed he has his own personalised bath tub in the home he shares with his parents, and owns Versace plates worth £2,000, which he proudly displays in their enormous dining room.
