‘I Realize I’m In The Crosshairs Of The Woke Mob Right Now’: Unvaccinated Aaron Rodgers Speaks

Two days after testing positive for COVID-19 and being dragged through the mud for “misleading” the public on his vaccination status, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers went on the record to tell his side of the story. 

“I realize I’m in the crosshairs of the woke mob right now, so before my final nail gets put in my cancel culture casket, I think I’d like to set the record straight on so many of the blatant lies that are out there about myself right now,” Rodgers began on  “The Pat McAfee Show.”

In August, Rodgers was asked by a member of the media whether or not he was vaccinated, to which he told the media that he was “immunized.” Most believed that this meant he had received the vaccine, until Rodgers tested positive on Wednesday causing him to miss the Packers upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs. 

“First of all, I didn’t lie in the initial press conference,” Rodgers said. “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 at the time, my plan was to say that I had been immunized. It wasn’t some sort of ruse or lie. It was the truth.”

“Not to have to acquiesce to some woke culture or crazed group of individuals who say you have to do something,” Rodgers said. “Health is not a one-size-fits-all for everybody.” 

Rodgers said that he learned that he has an allergy to an ingredient in the mRNA vaccines and that he was not comfortable taking the Johnson & Johnson vaccine due to some people having bad reactions to the J&J shot. 

He decided to go an alternative route and that the NFL was aware of it. He petitioned the NFL to accept his immunization status and was denied. 

When the media found out that Rodgers was unvaccinated, they immediately jumped on the fact that Rodgers was not masked during his press conferences with the media. 

Rodgers said that he does not believe that he should have to
