is speaking out after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Two days after news of his diagnosis made headlines, the 37-year-old Green Bay Packers quarterback opened up in an interview on the, where he discussed his reasoning for not being vaccinated -- claiming he's allergic to ingredients in both Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA vaccines, among other things.
Rodgers started his 15-minute chat by saying: “I realize I’m in the crosshairs of the woke mob right now, so before my final nail gets put in my cancel culture casket, I think I’d like to set the record straight on some of the blatant lies that are out there about myself right now." Rodgers went on to address his previous comment stating in a press conference that he was"immunized," which most people assumed meant he was vaccinated.
“At the time, my plan was to say that I’ve been immunized,” Rodgers shared. “It wasn’t some sort of ruse or lie, it was the truth. Had there been a follow-up to my statement that I’ve been immunized, I would have responded with this. I would’ve said, ‘Look, I’m not some sort of anti-vax flat-earther, I am somebody who is a critical thinker, you guys know me, I march to the beat of my own drum, I believe strongly in bodily autonomy.
"This vaccine is revolutionary however we don't know a whole lot about it. For the media taking shots at me you now know my story so quit lying about me.. personal health decisions in my opinion should be private" ~
