I think some of the people that are haters, I think if they listen to the show, I think he stated things very eloquently and very directly and succinctly,” Ed Rodgers said. “I don’t know. I’m not sure why people think he misled anybody,” he claimed, adding that there are other forms of treatment that are effective against the Covid virus.

I think he tried to probably treat himself naturally, like a lot of folks do. And there’s a lot of great natural things out there, which help mitigate the virus. So I’m proud of him. I’m proud that he went that route.” Moreover, even Ed admitted that he isn’t sure about the effectiveness of Covid vaccines.

There’s a lot of things that aren’t so good about the vaccine.” He said “people should have a voice on what they do with their body,” he stated. The vaccine controversy has really tarnished the image of the Green Bay star and it would be interesting to see how he performs on his comeback.
