NFL star Aaron Rodgers has clarified his comments over his Covid 19 status after the star faced backlash over claims that he lied when he told the media he was ‘immunised.’
NFL Star Aaron Rodgers Clarifies His Covid 19 Vaccination Status-I Want To ‘Set The Record Straight On So Many Of The Blatant Lies’
The quarterback of the Green Bay Packers has faced huge scrutiny as a result. Given that the pandemic has caused sports events to take extra precautions, some felt that Aaron’s lack of care for his vaccination status did not set the best example.
And yet, Aaron wanted to make sure that he could set the record straight over what he felt to be things taken out of context. In an interview on the ‘Pat McAfee Show,’ he said: “[I want to] set the record straight on so many of the blatant lies that are out there about myself right now.”
This begs the question, where did this claim about Aaron not being truthful over his vaccination status emerge from? Well, it is alleged that Aaron had informed numerous media organisations that he was ‘immunised.’
Therefore, people were under the assumption that he had taken the vaccine. In addition, NFL journalist Ian Rapoport had confirmed that Aaron had not taken the Covid 19 jab.
Therefore, with there being so many mixed messages in the media, Aaron felt that the vaccine should be a personal choice. He added: “There’s guys on the team that haven’t been vaccinated.
“And it’s a personal decision, not going to judge those guys.” In response, Aaron spoke about how he did not lie about anything. It was simply a case of him choosing to seek out other alternatives.
Moreover, he spoke on how he was allergic to some of the ingredients within the vaccine, coupled with the fact that he was aware of some people who had suffered adverse reactions from it.
And yet, he had to deny that he was anti-science. He continued: “Look, I’m not, you know, some sort of anti-vax, flat-earther. I am somebody who is a critical thinker.’ “
The Covid 19 vaccine has divided the public over what is the best course of action in response to the pandemic. But as for Aaron, it is pretty clear what he thinks.
