Aaron Rodgers delves into last year's vaccination controversy ... (NBC Sports)

His explanation in the safe space of the Rogan podcast seems extremely fair and reasonable. Rogan gave him a wide berth and a sympathetic ear. Rodgers is right, ...

But Rodgers has now admitted in the most candid terms possible that he lied to everyone about his status, even if he resents being called a liar for it. The NFL and the NFLPA worked together to pressure guys to get vaccinated. Instead, he cooked up a way to tiptoe around the truth, because he didn’t want the blowback that inevitably came in early November, when he had to finally acknowledge his decision not to be vaccinated — and when he was exposed as not having impeccable word or integrity. And he also has provided an objectively persuasive explanation of the very great pains he took to avoid putting anything at all in his body that may be potentially toxic or harmful. Surely, the Packers wouldn’t have let him do that if he weren’t vaccinated. Although Rodgers did make some very good points about the joint process to which the league and union agreed, he was never confronted with specific, pointed questions about why he did what he did after his request for an exemption was rejected. He ultimately was fined for attending the team’s Halloween party. If he’d simply told his story then, airing the various grievances he rattled off to Rogan, Rodgers would have been telling the truth, and his word and integrity would be intact. Right or wrong, the league and the union developed a protocol that tied availability to play to vaccination. And, yes, the rules created a huge incentive to get the vaccination. As Rogan asked, “How are they getting a diluted strand of the virus?” As Rodgers replied, “I don’t know that exactly or want to get into that exactly, I don’t think.”) The protocol developed by the league and the union resulted in the rejection of his effort to utilize his proposed homeopathic immunization process. And I had come to the conclusion I’m gonna say, ‘I’ve been immunized.’ And if there’s a follow-up, then talk about my process.

Despite that pledge, the NFL still technically bans the use of CBD and marijuana. The NFL has The NFL cracked down amid those investigative reports, but that came after decades of career-altering penalties handed down for marijuana, a drug with far fewer long-term side effects. When it became public knowledge that Rodgers was unvaccinated, he said he sought alternative treatments. You're taking anti-inflammatories, they all come with a warning: If you take this more than a few weeks, you've gotta get your blood tested because it can do damage to your liver. Here's the thing: I had knee issues for a long time, and you take anti-inflammatories.

3 biggest WTF moments from Aaron Rodgers, Joe Rogan interview (FanSided)

Aaron Rodgers delivered a bit of a preseason shock to Packers fans by appearing on Joe Rogan's podcast and he dropped some absolutely stunning.

When Rogan then asked what happened when that person came to him and the Packers, Rodgers very pointedly said, “Oh, I mopped the floor with him.” But as we look at the totality of what he said, three moments stand out as being the biggest bombshells the back-to-back NFL MVP dropped.

Wide receiver Davante Adams got used to catching passes from league MVP Aaron Rodgers. They were one of the best quarterback-receiver duos in the NFL.

Rodgers stated that it was "doing what the vaccine was supposed to do." 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." Aaron Rodgers not getting vaccinated for COVID-19 was the hottest story in November 2021. We've got to get better in that area." Chicago Bears legend Dick Butkus took this as an opportunity to poke fun at the Packers' misery on Twitter. They were one of the best quarterback-receiver duos in the NFL.

And as I thought about all three of these men, and their willingness to stand up to the full power of the attempted COVID mandates in the United States government, I couldn’t help but think about Ali and the Vietnam draft mandates. It was so brave of LeBron James to pose with a safety pin on the cover of Sports Illustrated after Donald Trump won the presidential election in 2016, look at Colin Kaepernick, it was so brave to kneel. Rodgers, Djokovic and Irving are, contrary to what the blue checks in masks on social media lecturing you have been saying for years, on the right side of history. The easiest thing in the world for Rodgers to do was to meekly submit and get the COVID shot. He even pointed out the absurdity of New York City’s COVID rules by showing up and sitting courtside to watch a game he wasn’t permitted to play in, but could sit and watch. Open tennis tournament is also starting this week and one of the greatest tennis players of all time, Novak Djokovic, isn’t being permitted to play in the tournament because he’s refused to get the COVID shot. Djokovic, who has 21 majors, may well have lost the chance to be the greatest tennis player of all time because he also wasn’t allowed to play in the Australian Open and the U.S. And as a result he’s been uniformly attacked by multiple governments, by big tech, and by the media that cover his sport. And as a result Rodgers has been publicly attacked more aggressively than almost any athlete in our lives for refusing to submit and get the COVID shot. But not everyone was silent, a daring few were willing to speak up in the face of these powerful entities and challenge the prevailing consensus. All day long we are lectured on social media about the right and wrong side of history, frequently by people who have no actual knowledge of history. Now it’s virtually impossible to find anyone who speaks out in favor of the Vietnam War being fought, but in the 1960s Ali’s stand was remarkably controversial.

Aaron Rodgers admits lying about COVID vaccination status last ... (Touchdown Wire)

Aaron Rodgers admitted this week on Joe Rogan's podcast that he intentionally lied about his COVID vaccination status last season.

It certainly did that when Rodgers contacted COVID last season and missed the Packers’ Week 9 game against the Chiefs — a game the Packers lost, 13-7, with backup quarterback Jordan Love completing 19 of 34 passes for 190 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Whatever “attempted takedown” of his integrity occurred after that, if it was based on the facts that Rodgers himself has now outlined, was accurate and warranted. “And that’s when the storm hit, because now I’m a liar, I’m endangering the community, my teammates, all these people. Not to have to acquiesce to some woke culture or some crazed group of individuals.” That he managed to hit MAGA bingo in one paragraph might be the unprofessional way to put it. Last season, there was a lot of talk about Aaron Rodgers and his vaccination status — more than anything, from Rodgers himself.

When you figure out a better way to love yourself, I think you can love people better because you’re not casting the same judgment you cast on yourself on other people. When you have so much judgment on yourself it’s easy to transfer that judgment to other people. The reigning 2x NFL MVP spoke to King about the experience he had while drinking the drug and claimed that it helped him to find “self-love” and made him a better person and teammate. Rodgers continued on, stating that he was frustrated that CBD as well as other natural remedies were “frowned upon.” Earlier this month, Rodgers reportedly admitted to taking another form of banned substance. You’re taking anti-inflammatories, they all come with a warning: If you take this more than a few weeks, you’ve gotta get your blood tested because it can do damage to your liver. The painkiller is still reportedly being abused on a wide-scale due to its narcotic effect.
