They\u2019re based purely in trying to out and shame people, like needing to wear a mask at a podium when every person in the room is vaccinated and wearing a mask \u2013 makes no sense to me,\u201d Rodgers said. \u201cIf you got vaccinated to protect yourself from a virus that I don\u2019t have as an unvaccinated individual, then why are you worried about anything I could give you?\u201d\u201cI have followed every single protocol to a T \u2013 minus that one I just mentioned which makes absolutely no sense to me.\u201d&#8221;The organization &#038; my teammates knew exactly what my status was.. there was nothing that was hidden. I have followed every single protocol &#038; a lot of the protocols aren&#8217;t based on science at all&#8221; ~@AaronRodgers12#PatMcAfeeShowLIVE pic.twitter.com\/AZ6kjBrBvc\u2014 Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) November 5, 2021Rodgers touched on vaccinated teammates testing positive for COVID as well, saying he is just the second non-vaccinated player to test positive.\u201cIt\u2019s pretty evident I tested positive being around a vaccinated individual,\u201d Rodgers said. \u201cThat\u2019s the majority of people I spend time with. There\u2019s been dozens of individuals that work at the facility that are vaxxed that have tested positive. So, this idea that it\u2019s the pandemic of the unvaccinated is just a total lie.\u201dRodgers then dove into his current treatment of his COVID symptoms, saying that he is following the advice of podcast host Joe Rogan.\u00a0\u201cI consulted with a now good friend of mine Joe Rogan, after he got Covid, and I\u2019ve been doing a lot of the stuff that he recommended in his podcasts and on the phone to me,\u201d Rodgers said.\u201cI\u2019m going to have the best immunity possible now based on the 2.5-million-person study from Israel that the people who get Covid and recover, have the most robust immunity. I\u2019m thankful for people like Joe stepping up and using his voice. I\u2019m thankful for my medical squad and I\u2019m thankful for all the love and support I\u2019ve gotten but I\u2019ve been taking monoclonal antibodies, Ivermectin, zinc, vitamin C and DHCQ. And I feel pretty incredible.\u201dAaron Rodgers says he&#8217;s listening to Joe Rogan&#8217;s advice on how to battle COVID-19 and he&#8217;s also taking Ivermectin. Prepare for media heads to explode. pic.twitter.com\/DXjGJrwif6\u2014 David Hookstead (@dhookstead) November 5, 2021Rodgers also touched on the politicization of the vaccine, saying that \u201chealth should not be political.\u201d\u201cThe problem with this is it is so political,\u201d Rodgers said. \u201cAnd health should not be political. It shouldn\u2019t be that \u2018Trump endorsed Ivermectin and HDQ and so, take that s*** off, it doesn\u2019t work.\u2019 In general, we all should have been a little hesitant. When Trump in 2020 was championing these vaccines that were coming so quick, what did the Left say? And I\u2019m talking about every member of the Left. \u2018Don\u2019t trust the vaccine. Don\u2019t get the vaccine. You\u2019re gonna die from the vaccine \u2026 \u2019\u201d\u201cAnd then what happened? Biden wins and everything flips. Shouldn\u2019t that initially give you a little pause \u2026 isn\u2019t this about health and not about politics? And to that point, has any member of the health staff this entire time, got up and actually talked about real health? Have they talked about exercise, a healthy diet, eating real food, drinking water, taking vitamins, vitamin D deficiency and what that causes in the body? No. There hasn\u2019t been any of that.\u201dAARON RODGERS: &#8220;When Trump in 2020 was championing these vaccines, what did the left say? Don&#8217;t trust the vaccine.

I just wanted to make the decision that was best for my body. That\u2019s it. I wear my mask when I go out in public. The only time I haven\u2019t worn my mask is when I\u2019m around all vaccinated people. My response to those people would be like, \u2018Hey, just so you know, I tested this morning negative, No. 1, and No. 2, you got vaccinated against something that you would be worried about me having, which I just told you I\u2019m negative.&#8217;\u201d\u201cTo me, I can\u2019t make any more sense than that. If I\u2019m in public, I wear a mask. If I\u2019m not, if I\u2019m at my house, I\u2019m not wearing a mask.\u201dJoe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
