Aaron Rodgers Now Regrets Saying He Was 'Immunized' Against COVID
HuffPost
In an upcoming book, the NY Jets QB says if he could do it again he would tell officials he was allergic to PEG, and insist, "I’m not going to be vaxxed.”
NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Rodgers says in a soon-to-be published book that he should have handled discussing his COVID-19 immunization status differently.
The New York Jets quarterback was still with the Green Bay Packers in 2021 when he told reporters he was “immunized” against the virus — and then tested positive for COVID-19 three months later and had to be sidelined for 10 days.
Rodgers unsuccessfully appealed to the league that his homeopathic treatment regimen should qualify him as vaccinated. The four-time NFL MVP was widely criticized for not being truthful about his status.
“If there’s one thing I wish could have gone different, it’s that, because that’s the only thing (critics) could hit me with,” ESPN reported Rodgers told author Ian O’Connor for the biography, “Out Of The Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers,” which goes on sale next week.
ESPN said Rodgers says in the book his main reason for claiming he was “immunized” was the statement represented “the crux of my appeal.”
