“He thinks he’s a genius” – NFL world once ganged up against Aaron Rodgers for him being shamelessly against ‘masks’ and ‘vaccines’

Aaron Rodgers is certainly one of the most controversial NFL players in recent history. The veteran QB is known for his unconventional choices when it comes to making difficult decisions.

However, the most controversial situation he found himself in was during the COVID vaccinations. The former Green Bay Packers quarterback opposed the process of vaccination and didn’t believe in wearing masks.

Rodgers didn’t want to take a vaccine or wear a mask. However, that wasn’t possible, as it was a crime in many countries to not do that. Therefore, the Jets QB gathered over 500 pages of research on the dangers and inefficiencies of taking the vaccine and wearing a mask. He sent those research papers to the NFL; however, nothing was obtained by doing that.

Instead of taking the vaccine, Aaron Rodgers believed in the immunization process of creating antibodies, which was completely different from taking the vaccine. According to Rodgers, some of the mitigation protocols by the NFL were used to shame people, especially the mask-wearing protocol despite taking the vaccine.

Aaron Rodgers has been a strong advocate of the anti-vaccine process and even spoke about it in length during the Joe Rogan podcast. There, he shared his own way of defeating the virus through ‘unconventional’ means.

Aaron Rodgers was slammed on NFL Twitter for his different opinions

The NFL world wasn’t happy with Aaron Rodgers charting his own course in the battle with COVID. While everyone was busy taking vaccines, the New York Jets QB believed in not taking them. This inspired a widespread movement on NFL Twitter, where Rodgers was slammed brutally by the mainstream media as well as the common people.

However, there were some people who came to his defense, but they were massively outnumbered by the hate the QB received for his different opinions and statements. This also led to the Packers scandal, where the organization knew that Rodgers wasn’t vaccinated and tried to hide it from the general public. This led to massive hatred for Rodgers as well as his team at the time.

Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions online, here’s what fans have to say:

Put the guy on jeopardy and now he thinks he's some sort of genius…

And it looks like he spent so much time on his “research” that he didn’t have time to even wash his hair.

— Kimmy, A REPUBLIC, IF YOU CAN KEEP IT, Robinson 🆘 (@KimmyMRobinson) November 5, 2021

He thinks homeopathic hocus-pocus is getting vaccinated if he won't get his shots cut him from the team I'm sure some college has a player who will do a better job and be willing to follow the rules

— Michael Hardtke (@HardtkeMichael) November 5, 2021

I read so much of the “research” that anti public health activists were posting in 2020/21 about masks, claiming it showed masks were bad… but that was never the conclusion in the papers… it’s like… they didn’t read or understand the material. I suspect he’s in the same boat.

Breaking: Aaron Rodgers says that helmets are not medically proven. He did his own research by bashing his head into a brick wall and he is fine. No more helmets for him.

— Derek (@delabate_gary) November 5, 2021

It would be interesting to see Rodgers reaction if an epidemiologist walked into a room he was in and started trying to coach him on how to play quarterback.

Aaron Rogers is a G

The COVID virus has been out of the news for a long time now and people have gotten back to the life it was before. However, Aaron Rodgers still suffers the effects of the vaccine controversy.
