"Prevea Health remains deeply committed to protecting its patients, staff, providers and communities amidst the COVID-19 pandemic,""This includes encouraging and helping all eligible populations to become vaccinated against COVID-19 to prevent the virus from further significantly impacting lives and livelihoods,"
Rodgers tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this week and then appeared on"The Pat McAfee Show" on Friday detailing why he is unvaccinated. The 37-year-old said he's allergic to an ingredient in mRNA vaccines, which prevented him from getting the Moderna and Pfizer shots, and that he was hesitant to get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine after hearing of people having adverse reactions to it."Look, I'm not some sort of anti-vax, flat earther," Rodgers said.
He also said, “I consulted with a now good friend of mine Joe Rogan, after he got COVID, and I’ve been doing a lot of stuff that he recommended."from Rodgers alleging that a league doctor told him"it's impossible for a vaccinated person to get COVID or spread COVID." “No doctor from the league or the joint NFL-NFLPA infectious disease consultants communicated with the player,” the NFL said. “If they had, they certainly would have never said anything like that.”
