The lie is the big problem. If he would have had the balls to just say he's anti-vaxx and took the heat I don't think Packers nation would have been nearly as outraged. After his holdout he probably didn't want to piss more people off so he took the cowards way.

I'll always have an immense amount of respect for Rodgers on field abilities, but as a person his character is a huge red flag. What a narcissist.

Since he didn't get vaccinated and tried to get the NFL to accept his homeopathic treatment as an acceptable replacement, I'd certainly consider him to be an antivaxxer.

I just read an article in which Rodgers said that his “medical team” advised him not to get vaccinated..
I have never been a Rodgers fan from the start, but now I’m ready to be done with this clown.
It’s time to move on!!!

Only throwing that out there because Aaron doesn't consider himself as one. If you paid close attention to his words, though, it's hard not to come away thinking he has some personal anti-vax leanings -- kept talking about his "medical team" comprised of "medical individuals" and "medical professionals". In fact, the only time Aaron referenced "doctor" is when referring to the NFL's main doctor in connection with NFL's determination of COVID vaccination status.

Aaron has to protect himself from being called a liar. But it's interesting that his speech today on Pat McAfee's show that this is all about public perception, and has nothing to do with mitigating possible fines and or punishment imposable on him from the NFL. In other words, this is all damage control from a PR perspective; hopefully it works to sooth some NFL owner enough so that they trade a boatload of picks this off-season when the Packers move on from him.

As one tweet noted about promoting being a critical thinker, "what if you're really bad at critical thinking?"... I think that sums up my personal views on this fiasco.

I have much more respect for the thought 12 put into his decision after listening. I have tried to capture the main things he mentioned[list][*]It's hard to call him anti-vax when he is allergic to an ingredient in the mRNA vaccines. [*] He pointed out that the JNJ was pulled at that time[*]He he followed the non-vax protocol. He said he tested every day[*]Symptoms Tuesday night Tested Wednesday. [*] Feels Great Today[*] He obviously got it from a vaccinated person.[*]"If the vaccine is so great, why are so many vaccinated people getting it"[*]"If it is so safe, why to the manufacturers need legal immunity"[*]I have been doing what joe Rogan recommended - Ivermectin, HCQ, Vitamin D, Monochronal antibodies [*]The Israel study study (and later mentions "I have thirty others") shows I will have much strong immunity than I could get any vaccine.[*]When Trump was pushing the vaccines, every member of left said don't trust the vaccine, not after Biden win they are all for it...what about health why aren't we talking about vitamin D deficiency[*]I did not sign a piece of paper giving up my rights[*]Look at the studies from India how well Ivermectin works, its been used a billion time, but they don't like to because its cheap and Trump pushed it...Merck and Pfizer are coming out with a pill, expensive version of Ivermectin [/list]Re his treatment consulted with Harvard MD and other experts from around the country....a way to stimulate my immune systems (did not want to go into specifics)

^ While summing those items up, I implore people to actually use some critical thought. For example, Aaron Rodgers isn't the only athlete that had an allergy to one of the ingredients in the Pfizer / Moderna vaccines (other athletes have had it; a prominent player in the NHL - on the Maple Leafs, to be specific - faced the same issue and chose to get vaccinated after additional discussion with medical doctors).

And consulting with a Harvard MD does NOT mean that actual qualified medical doctors approved the approach Aaron has taken (Aaron's being purposefully vague - consultation does not mean "Harvard MD approved").

Again, this isn't a post to pit science vs. alternative medicine or something similar. It's intended to point out that Aaron was/is solely concerned with PR spin here and nothing else. Using PR spin as gospel... isn't going to be beneficial.

The PR spin likely isn't diminishing Murphy's and Gute's eagerness to move on from Aaron after the season, I'd suspect.

Edit: I see this is post #69 on the thread... nice.
