Aaron Rodgers is still being blasted over lying about his vaccination status and the proceeding comments he made about it on The Pat McAfee Show.
While Rodgers previously told reporters that he had been “immunized,” it was later revealed that he had done his own research and taken other things, like Ivermectin.
“First of all, I didn’t lie in the initial press conference,” Rodgers said Friday. “During that time, it was a witch hunt that was going on across the league, where everybody in the media was so concerned about who was vaccinated and who wasn’t and what that meant and who was being selfish and who would talk about it, what it meant if they said it’s a personal decision and they shouldn’t have to disclose their own medical information.
“And at the time, my plan was to say that I have been immunized. It wasn’t some sort of ruse or lie. It was the truth, and I’ll get into the whole immunization in a second. But had there been a follow-up to my statement that I’ve been immunized, I would have responded with this: I would have said, ‘Look, I’m not some sort of anti-vax, flat-Earther. I am somebody who’s a critical thinker.’”
Legendary radio host Howard Stern went ballistic on the Packers QB on Monday morning.
“I was so worked up over the weekend about this f-cking Aaron Rodgers of the NFL,” Stern said on Monday’s The Howard Stern Show. “I don’t even know where to begin with that story. I mean this f-cking guy.”

The host admitted that he does not watch football often, but still recognized that the NFL likely “put up with his bullshit” because Rodgers is one of the league’s star players.
“If there was decency in this world, you know, I would throw this guy out of the football league so fast,” Stern said. “What he did to his fellow teammates … this f-cking guy, they should throw him out of the league so fast.”
He then compared the gravity of Rodgers’ Covid vaccine lies to the actions of former Las Vegas Raiders star Henry Ruggs III, who was released from the team and will face DUI charges after being involved in a fatal car crash last week.
“He should be thrown out of the league, which he was I assume,” Stern said of Ruggs, adding, “And Aaron Rodgers, come on, dude. Really? You know that whole bullshit gig, ‘Yeah I have the anti-bodies.’”
“You’ve got doctors who study in medical school. I don’t know what has happened to this country.”
