How could you possibly say that?\u2019 I don\u2019t really care. I don\u2019t care who it\u2019s coming from or who said it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers&#8217; misleading comments regarding his vaccination status last year made him the talk of the town. \u201cimmunized.\u201d Later, however, it was revealed that he hadn&#8217;t been vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>Then he said that the media criticizing him was most likely being supported by ad revenues from vaccine companies such as Moderna and Pfizer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it\u2019s a station that may or may not have in the past been brought to you by Pfizer,\u201d Rodgers said. \u201cThen they gotta make sure that their villain gets cast in the correct light. And whether or not they\u2019re sponsored by Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson &#038; Johnson, whatever it might be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you go up against some of those powers that be, put yourself in the crosshairs, they\u2019re going to paint you in a certain way,\u201d He added. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what the media did to me a couple years ago. That\u2019s fine; that\u2019s their prerogative. \u2026 But I think I responded pretty good in those times, and I\u2019m glad I went through that.
