Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will not face Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend because he failed the league’s protocols. Aaron Rodgers previously misled the public and league for months. It started when Aaron Rodgers was on the podium and asked about his vaccination status, here’s what he said:
“Yeah, I’ve been immunized,” Rodgers said. “There’s guys on the team that haven’t been vaccinated. I think it’s a personal decision, I’m not gonna judge those guys.”
Rodgers was quick to start using phrases like ‘cancel culture’ and ‘woke mob’ without apologizing for misleading the public for months.
The public reaction to Aaron Rodgers misleading everyone about being vaccinated has been loud. Stephen A. Smith branded Aaron Rodgers as a coward and a liar. There are. a lot of questions about protocols broken by Rodgers. And this discussion happened while Aaron was away from the public eye.
Aaron Rodgers went on The Pat McAfee Show on Friday to explain his situation, his choice to not get vaccinated because of an allergy, and how he wants body autonomy respected. The appearance quickly devolved into Rodgers talking about the ‘Woke Mob’ and ‘Cancel Culture’. He discussed how his dear friend Joe Rogan advised him on what medicine to take. Rodgers claimed “everyone on the left” said these vaccines would kill people when Trump was a part of developing them. He quoted Martin Luther King, Jr.
The entire appearance was off the rails and social media reacted in kind:
“Met with a lot of different people to get the most information” but just disregard any and every doctor.

the most energizing thing about aaron rodgers is the certainty that we are only scratching the surface of all the blithe, dumb things he is about to say now that he's cracked the seal

Cover the NFL for multiple decades and at least once a year you'll think "this is the weirdest story we'll ever see" and then Aaron Rodgers comes along and says he's getting pandemic-related medical advice from Joe Rogan.

The interview is over, my thoughts: Aaron Rodgers definitely spent way too much time on the internet.

I really don't get why he didn't stop after saying "I was allergic to MRNA vaccines" – Sometimes less is more.
