Aaron Rodger Tests Positive For COVID-19, Reportedly Lied About Being Vaccinated

Following the outlandish guidelines put in place by the Biden administration, the NFL has remained adamant about supporting vaccination efforts across the United States. But in a shocking twist of events, NFL star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who plays for the Green Bay Packers, has reportedly tested positive for COVID-19. And to make matters worse, apparently – he was never vaccinated against the coronavirus although he told reporters he was. 

While some believed his COVID was stopping him from playing against the Chiefs, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport tweeted, “#Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is unvaccinated, per me and @MikeGarafolo. That’s why he is out for Sunday vs. the #Chiefs.”

Rapoport went on to add, “QB Aaron Rodgers received homeopathic treatment from his personal doctor to raise his antibody levels and asked the NFL to review his status. The NFL, NFLPA, and joint docs ruled him as unvaccinated. Now, he has COVID-19.”

NFL’s Nick Shook said in a statement that Rodgers will have to remain quarantined for a minimum of 10 days. As for the rumors the quarterback was vaccinated, Shook said, “Rodgers previously had sought and was denied an exemption from the NFL-NFLPA COVID-19 protocols based on his antibody levels this summer, which left his status as unvaccinated, NFL Media reported Wednesday. Rodgers received homeopathic treatment from his personal doctor to raise his antibody levels and asked the NFL to review his status. The league pointed Rodgers to the NFL-NFLPA protocols, which do not account for such an exemption for players.”

It should be noted that in August, while talking to reporters, Rodgers clearly stated, “Yeah, I’ve been immunized. 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.”

Not buying the narrative, NBC Sports’ Mike Florio bashed Rodgers, saying, “If he’d been open about his unvaccinated status, he would have heard about it from the media,” he wrote. “And so the guy who is so sensitive that he’s sensitive about being called sensitive chose to create the false impression that he’s vaccinated, all because he didn’t want anyone to call him out for not being vaccinated. That makes it much worse. He deliberately violated COVID protocols in order to keep secret his status — in order to avoid being criticized. And he surely will now use his various platforms to argue that people like me shouldn’t have a platform to criticize him for not being vaccinated, and for endangering others in order to perpetuate his ruse. Which is exactly what he did.”
