On Tuesday’s edition of Pat McAfee’s show, Aaron Rodgers was right back at it speaking at length about COVID-19.
In a four-minute segment Tuesday, as McAfee jokingly demanded he not “spread misinformation” Rodgers’s latest rant included what he called the “two-class system” of vaccinated and unvaccinated players.
“What I don’t understand, it makes no sense to me to continue to spread this narrative that non-vaccinated players are more dangerous or these superspreaders,” Rodgers said.
“I don’t understand why there is still this two-class system that exists in our league,” added Rodgers.
“There’s not many unvaccinated guys left in the league, but it’s obviously not a pandemic of the unvaccinated. It doesn’t make sense to me we’re still punishing non-vaccinated players.”
He added that “my thoughts are just my own opinion on this matter,” before saying that he believes he contracted the virus “probably with an interaction with a vaccinated person who had COVID.”

The reigning MVP has been very vocal about COVID and the vaccine since he tested positive back in November and having to miss 10 days, which led to the conclusion that he was unvaccinated, despite saying he was “immunized.” He then made a controversial appearance on McAfee’s show, where he name-dropped Joe Rogan, said he was a victim of the “woke mob” and misquoted Martin Luther King, Jr.
The onset of the Omicron variant has been cited as the primary cause for the current crop of infections within the league which has prompted the postponement of recent games and forced several teams to field vastly under-strength sides due to Covid isolation guidelines.
“What I don’t understand is vaccinated people blaming non-vaccinated people because the vaccine that they took to avoid getting the virus didn’t stop them from getting the virus.
“If science can’t be questioned, it’s not science anymore. It’s propaganda,” Rodgers said. “When did science become this blind agreement and not having any debate over what can actually heal people and work for people?”
Despite his tumultuous season off the field, Rodgers is currently the frontrunner two claim back-to-back MVP trophies.
