Aaron Rodgers wasn't vaccinated and tried to lie about it.

Opinion: Aaron Rodgers has COVID. He lied about being vaccinated, and being a team player
Nancy Armour, USA TODAY

At least Kirk Cousins, Cole Beasley and the NFL’s other anti-science gurus had the decency to be transparent.

Aaron Rodgers must have thought he was so clever, saying he was “immunized” when asked, directly, if he’d been vaccinated against COVID-19. But the Green Bay Packers quarterback isn’t nearly as smart as he thinks he is, his “immunized” comment and the “research” he did revealed to be nothing more than smokescreen and snake oil with Wednesday’s announcement that he has tested positive for COVID and reporting that he is not vaccinated.

Worse, the guy who loves to preach about the brotherhood of the locker room and the greater responsibility Packers players in particular have to the team they represent, has been exposed as a fraud.

1. He should be suspended for violating the covid protocols.

This is worse than just being an anti-vaxx douche, this is blatantly lying to avoid the precautions and exclusionary procedures.

I’m have him on my fantasy team, I kind of need him in there. But he shouldn’t be.

[True Dough]

4. Ditto!

He's been my fantasy starter most of the season. But now he's done frucked up!

[aggiesal]

13. I agree! SJ Shark Evander Kane used a fake vaccination card ...

got caught, and suspended for 21 games without pay, which is a little over 25% of the season. Basically, he lied, got caught and got suspended.

Rodgers lied and got caught.
He'll be out 2 games due to Covid.
The NFL should suspend him an additional 4 games (25% of the season), without pay.
Also State Farm might want to take a second look at his ethics as well.

People who lie and risk others health, should not be overlooked or benefit in any way, while everyone else followed the rules.

2. Immunization is the result of vaccination and only vaccination

So he wasn't being "clever" if he wasn't vaccinated, rather just dishonest.

Was he infected previously? In that situation you could make a case for being "inoculated". But not immunized, nor vaccinated.

[Rebl2]

5. That's what

I think-he was infected previously. Some people who have had Covid now are saying they have natural immunity. They act as though they can’t get it again, but I have seen to many stories where people got it a second time after their immunity waned.

8. I think you have it backwards...

"Inoculated" infers some kind of external application of something to enhance antigens.

"Immunized" could mean enhanced antigens from prior infection or from inoculation.

Inoculation would infer vaccination, whereas immunized could mean either. AR tried to play semantic games with it.

Fail. Personally interesting, as I am a Seahawks fan and we're scheduled to play the Pack on the 14th and are not yet sure if our QB will be back from injury.

[Dr. Shepper]

15. Inoculated could be with a vaccine or

The pathogen. In my studies, we regularly inoculated cells with virus.

[Dr. Shepper]

16. Also a Seahawks fan!

22. Honestly I think these terms are nonspecific that way and used interchangeably

Oh well

[Jimbo S]

17. Homeopathy

A news report I just saw apparently he sought holistic options.

I've always liked Rodgers, he seemed like a pretty progressive guy. But to the point seeking out non-scientific options? Very disappointed.

[DURHAM D]

3. Where was he January 6th? nt

[Heartstrings]

6. He's always been a me, me, look at me type of person....

Arrogant, not fun to watch at all….

The fact that he lied cements my distaste for the arrogance and disregard he has shown and will continue to show to his Lambeau faithful not to mention his teammates.

Never liked him, never will….

[niyad]

7. Thank Goddess this lying pos was not chosen to be the permanent Jeopardy host.

[Kimber432]

9. halloween party super spreader?

he dressed as John Wicket their big party and in the video clip, he wore no mask.scary.

[orleans]

20. thought this thread could use the video (if this is what you were referring to)

10. horrible person

And to think Kaepernick was effectively banned for life just because he kneeled for the national anthem and put nobody's life at stake. But this turdblossom lies about a vaccine and puts his team mates, coaches, and fans at risk? He gets a free pass? Ban him from the league for life. But maybe we will get lucky and the COVID Karma will run over his anti-vax Dogma.

11. lawyer 's for G.B. are going to have a blast with this !- called breach of contract !

your suppose to be a roll model in the NFL ! ol' RODER GOODELL IS NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS SHIT LIGHTLY ! you can take that to bank !

[maxsolomon]

12. Evasive for sure.

He'll get top shelf, 5-star treatments including Monoclonals and that new pill whateverthefuck that's called.

He'll be back after the next game as plodding and boring as ever.

[ZonkerHarris]

14. He wouldn't take one for the Team. Because he spells it with an "I"

[VGNonly]

18. Should that have been

stated in a question..."What is immunized"?

[left-of-center2012]

19. How many team mates did he expose?

[notinkansas]

21. While admitting this is a sacrilege in Bears territory,

I've always liked watching him play.

This, however, is a giant black eye. A real jerk thing to do.
