NFL Calls Out Lie By Anti-Vax Green Bay Quarterback

USA Today reports:

The MVP quarterback – who will miss the Packers’ game Sunday in Kansas City due to a 10-day minimum isolation – maintained during an interview on “The Pat McAfee Show” that an NFL doctor had told him “it would be impossible for a vaccinated person to catch or spread COVID.”

Rodgers didn’t identify the doctor who he claimed gave him such information, which is erroneous. Vaccines significantly reduce the risk of contracting or becoming ill from COVID-19, per the CDC. No vaccine is 100% effective, however, and “breakthrough infections” are possible.

The NFL quickly refuted Rodgers’ claim, telling Pro Football Talk: “No doctor from the league or the joint NFL-NFLPA infectious disease consultants communicated with the player. If they had, they certainly would have never said anything like that.”

Read the full article. Rodgers is whining that he’s being targeted by a “woke mob” and cancel culture.

The NFL began an investigation Thursday to determine whether Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers violated COVID-19 protocols, @JarrettBell reports. https://t.co/Pvlayctym3
