 You guys wanna watch this Aaron Rodgers interview? I have not seen this yet. I just don't happen. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us right now. A man you might have heard of, the current reigning, defending, undisputed MVP of the NFL, Green Bay Packers quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. Yeah! The floor is yours, Mr. Rodgers. I realize I'm in the crosshairs of the woke mob right now. So before my final nail gets put in my cancel culture casket, I think I'd like to set the record straight on so many of the blatant lies that are out there about myself right now. And I appreciate you telling my side of the story on here. First of all, I didn't lie in the initial press conference. During that time, it was a very, you know, witch hunt that was going on across the league where everybody in the media was so concerned about who was vaccinated and who wasn't and what that meant and who was being selfish and who would talk about it. What it meant if they said it's a personal decision, they shouldn't have to disclose their own medical information and whatnot. And at the time, my plan was to say that I've been immunized. It wasn't some sort of ruse or lie. It was the truth. And I'll get into the whole immunization in a second, but had there been a follow-up to my statement that I've been immunized, I would have responded with this. I would have said, look, I am somebody who's a critical thinker. You guys know me, I marched to the beat of my own drum. I believe strongly in bodily autonomy and the ability to make choices for your body, not to have to acquiesce to some woke culture or crazed group of individuals who say you have to do something. Health is not a one-size-fits-all for everybody. And for me, it involved a lot of study in the off-season, much like the study I put into Hosts in Jeopardy or the weekly study I put into playing in the game. I put a lot of time and energy and research and met with a lot of different people in medical field to get the most information about the vaccines before making a decision. Okay, hold on real quick. You guys are, some of you guys are saying some really funny stuff and some of you guys are saying some really stupid stuff. Somebody goes, yeah, basically he thinks steroids are okay but vaccines are not. Dude, at what point and at what point did he say that steroids are okay? On the CDC's own website, it says, should you have an allergy to any of the ingredients, you should not get one of the mRNA vaccines. So those two were out already. So my only option was Johnson and Johnson. At this time. Oh wait, really? Okay, so he couldn't even get, he has an allergy so he couldn't even get, Durna and the other one, what was the other one? Pfizer. So he couldn't even get those. In the early spring, I had heard of multiple people who had had adverse events around getting the change. Nothing that was no deaths or anything but just some really difficult times and physical abnormalities around the J&J shot. And then in mid-April, the J&J shot got pulled for clotting issues, if you remember that, right? So the J&J shot was not even an option at that point. So then my options became okay, what can I do to protect myself and my teammates if there's not one of the big three options for me in my own body? And so I looked into and talked again to a lot of medical individuals and professionals and found that there was an immunization protocol that I could go to to best protect myself and my teammates. And it was a long-term protocol that involved multiple months and I'm very proud of the research that went into that and the individuals that I met with and we felt like it was what was best for me. The league was fully aware of it upon my return to the Packers and it was at that point that I petitioned them to accept my immunization status as under their vaccination protocol. I will say this, they're recalling the events of like, okay, this happened, this happened, this happened. It's not weird to have notes, right? I must be honest, this guy's been in the NFL 20 years. I played football in high school and a little bit of college before I got hurt. I don't even remember what happened 10 minutes ago. Half the time I asked you guys a question, I immediately forget that I asked a question. So I'm gonna be honest. I don't blame the guy for having the notes. You already told us that? Wait, what did I tell you? The measures and protocols that you would have to adhere to, which in my opinion, we're not based on science. We're more based in a shame-based environment to try and get as many guys to get vaccinated as possible so that the lead looks better to the rest of the world. Initially, they returned and said, no, you'll be in the unvaccinated category. And I also said, how come there's no exemptions for medical exemptions, religious exemptions for existing conditions? I think that there is going to be some degree of the typical set number of things are bad, one thing, 10 things, whatever. And now everything else associated with that is like, oh, now everything that says is dumb. Some degree of that is gonna happen and it probably already is happening right now, but I just think that's something that's always kind of interesting to me. Do you guys know what I'm saying? I've always thought he was dumb though. Okay, you know what else is funny about this? Aaron Rodgers is the guy who you either love him or you hate him. There's very little in between for Aaron Rodgers. And I talked about this two weeks ago during the Thursday Night Football Stream. I feel like this is just another one of those situations which is so fitting that it's Aaron Rodgers because the people are gonna either like, like, you know what I mean? See this and they're like, hell yeah. And other people are just gonna be like, no, F this guy. It's the same thing, dude. It's gonna be more of the same. After they came back and said, no, you're unvaxxed, I said, okay, I'm gonna appeal this. And so we went through the process which was a multi-week process where I asked them for time to gather information. We gathered over 500 pages of research on the efficacy of immunizations, all the latest research surrounding my case, everything from mask wearing to the efficacy of the vaccines and the duration of the antibodies, just all the latest research, right? That I was getting from my medical team. And in that process, we had many conversations. I enjoyed the conversation in the league. It was good sharing. But one in particular stood out when I knew I was not gonna win this. I had a meeting and they said, one of the main docs said, it's impossible for a vaccinated person to get COVID or spread COVID. And at that point I knew that, I was definitely not gonna win the appeal and it was very shortly thereafter that I denied, which we know now that information is totally false that was given to me. Do you guys think he is going to lie at this point or is he just saying what he's saying? I guess it's just the truth. What reason do you think he has to lie? Because listen, people wanna talk about cancel culture and this and that, whatever. Something like this doesn't cancel 4,000 yards and 40 touchdowns. I'm just being honest. At the end of the day, dude. Hey, next year when the Steelers come calling, hey, Aaron, Mike's gonna be happy. Hey, he's gonna sign the check. Mike Tomlin's gonna be right there when they're signed the check form. Hey, welcome to Pittsburgh. I think it's reasonable to think that he might be lying maybe for just to discount double down, but I don't know, I don't know. Team advised me that the danger of the end to get up an adverse event was greater than the risk of getting COVID and recovering. So I made a decision it was investments of my body. I don't not telling somebody to not get vaccinated or to get vaccinated. I think you should do what's in the best of your body. If you're scared of COVID or if you have COVID morbidities, then getting vaccinated is probably in your best option. But if you have immunocompromised system or if you have freeze conditions, then make decisions in your best interest. And that's what I did. I made the decision that was in my best interest. The stream is absolute talk shit right now. Wait, just right now, isn't it usually like this? I pretty much go about my business as usual at this point. I got the natural whatever from getting sick and then getting the shot and then getting my second shot. But are you worried about infertility now, S-Fan? Hey, listen, you wanna talk about infertility? You got a, there's like several steps behind infertility where I'm at, okay? Let's just be real. Okay, I got a long ways to go before I'm worried about infertility. So, hey, it is what it is. I consulted with a now good friend of mine, Joe Rogan. After he got COVID and I've been doing a lot of the stuff that he recommended in his podcasts and on the phone to me. And I'm gonna have the best immunity possible now based on the 2.5 million person study from Israel that the people who get COVID and recover have the most robust immunity. I've been taking monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin, zinc, vitamin C and DHCQ and I feel pretty incredible. Twitter equals S-Fan's chat right now, okay? Don't put that evil on me. Okay, this is a place where we have highly intellectual discussion except right now we actually have a shit show. Guys, listen, listen. No, this matters, okay? At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is how many fricking rating you have. And if you're 2,200 plus, wanna top right pounds on ladder, I don't care if you got COVID and the vaccine at the same time. I take the vaccine, I take that shit for Rex Flinch and dinner myself. I don't give a damn, okay? I put the vaccine pills in my ass as a depository, okay? So that's life. No, okay, I'm just being dumb.
