Aaron Rodgers has given us many iconic moments in his football career. However, one moment that stood apart from the rest occurred away from the field in 2021, when he told reporters he had been “immunized” against the coronavirus.In a soon-to-be-published unauthorized biography, Rodgers told author Ian O’Connor that, while his claim to immunization was the “crux of his appeal,” he would handle the situation differently today.
Three months earlier, at a widely reported preseason news conference, Rodgers told reporters he had been ‘immunized’ and was heavily criticized by fans and much of the media. “But if I could do it again, I would have said , f*ck the appeal. I’m just going to tell them I’m allergic to PEG, I’m not getting Johnson & Johnson, I’m not going to be vaxxed,'” the Jets QB explained.
Rodgers further claimed that if he had been with the Jets in 2021 and subject to the same vaccination requirements that sidelined then-Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving, he would not have done it.
