During Wednesday’s appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, NFL star Aaron Rodgers made headlines with his statements regarding media criticism and vaccination status. Rodgers, known for his outspoken views, delved into a discussion about the media’s portrayal of his decisions.

During the interview, Rodgers reflected on his injury and the decisions surrounding his return to play. The situation led to a broader critique of media narratives around his actions.

The conversation took a more contentious turn when Rodgers suggested that media members criticizing him should first declare their vaccination status. He stated, “Let’s make people say their Vax status to start. Then that’ll frame all these comments in the right window.”

“Let’s have them say, ‘Hey, I’m so-and-so, double-vaxxed with Pfizer and triple-boosted, and my opinion about this is: this guy’s a bad guy because he just wanted to practice and took money away.'”

“Then, at least you know, and everybody could know at that point, that they have their puppet masters who are puppeteering them to say this certain thing about this guy and that they’re still upset about the fact that medical freedom,” he explained.

Additionally, Rodgers commented on the lingering effects of media criticism he faced during his MVP-winning season and his resistance to what he termed the “medical industrial complex.” He cited his decision to prioritize his health over external pressures, implying that his stance contributed to ongoing media antagonism.

Rodgers, the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers at the time, was at the center of significant media attention in 2021 due to his stance and comments on COVID-19 and the vaccines. The controversy arose when it was revealed that Rodgers had not received a COVID-19 vaccine. Instead, he had undergone an alternative treatment, which he believed would qualify him as “immunized.”

Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 in November of 2021, which brought his vaccination status into the spotlight. The four-time MVP defended his decision not to get vaccinated, citing personal health reasons and skepticism about the vaccines. The NFL found that Rodgers and the Packers had violated COVID-19 protocols, resulting in fines for both.
