Over the last year, not many public figures have been more polarizing than Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. During his weekly appearances on the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers has pulled no punches and left no question where he stands.
Rodgers has commented on a wide range of issues. They range from the President, the COVID-19 vaccine, conspiracy theories, and alleged censorship.
One of his most memorable comments was when the unvaccinated quarterback contracted Covid-19 last season and he admittedly used ivermectin after consulting with polarizing podcaster Joe Rogan.
If that wasn’t bad enough, Rodgers decided to take his talents to the Rogan podcast this week.

Right. PEG. Polyethylene Glycol. I did my research, I think typically speaking because I’m healthy and I take care of myself, getting vaccinated was not on the top of my list. But, I wanted to look into it because everyone was doing it and talking about it and trying to be safe and I wanted to make sure I was doing my part if that’s what was necessary to keep myself safe. My loved ones safe. My teammates safe. At the time, I went on the CDC website and it specifically said “if you’re allergic to PEG, we do not recommend you get vaccinated with the MRNA vaccinations.”
The only other one available was Johnson and Johnson. That has just got pulled at the time for blood clots. So I looked into other options which included an immunization process through holistic doctor. I researched and talked to probably a dozen different MDs. I found a protocol that I felt like was the best available.
This involved a couple month process of taking a diluted strand of the virus. I was doing what the vaccine was supposed to do. It was an oral strand.
