After President Joe Biden chastised him for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers slammed the president’s “false White House.”
When Biden was touring storm damage in Kentucky last month, he told a Green Bay Packers fan that Rodgers needed to receive the shot.
“When the president of the United States says, ‘This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,’ it’s because of him and his constituents, which, if you watch any of his public speeches, I’m not sure how there are any, but I guess he got 81 million votes,” Rodgers told ESPN.
Rodgers claimed that the vaccine can’t ensure protection against the virus, citing a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statement that indicated 75 percent of vaccinated individuals who died of COVID-19 had at least four comorbidities. Yet, he claims, that is what Biden is telling the public.
“How can you trust them?” says the narrator. Rodgers said. “When has the side that is doing the censorship and trying to shut people up and make them show papers and marginalize a section of the community ever been [the correct side] throughout the course of human history?”
Rodgers was chastised late last year after revealing that he had not had the COVID-19 vaccine. He has defended his decision, stating he is open-minded to all sides of the immunizations but does not feel the need to acquire one. He also claims to be allergic to Moderna and Pfizer vaccines.
When asked about the backlash, Rodgers replied, “Freedom of speech is risky now if it doesn’t line with the dominant narrative.” “I think first and foremost, what I wanted people to understand, and what people should understand, is that censorship is currently taking place in this country.”
