His explanation in the safe space of the Rogan podcast seems extremely fair and reasonable. Rogan gave him a wide berth and a sympathetic ear. Rodgers is right, ...
But Rodgers has now admitted in the most candid terms possible that he lied to everyone about his status, even if he resents being called a liar for it. The NFL and the NFLPA worked together to pressure guys to get vaccinated. Instead, he cooked up a way to tiptoe around the truth, because he didn’t want the blowback that inevitably came in early November, when he had to finally acknowledge his decision not to be vaccinated — and when he was exposed as not having impeccable word or integrity. And he also has provided an objectively persuasive explanation of the very great pains he took to avoid putting anything at all in his body that may be potentially toxic or harmful. Surely, the Packers wouldn’t have let him do that if he weren’t vaccinated. Although Rodgers did make some very good points about the joint process to which the league and union agreed, he was never confronted with specific, pointed questions about why he did what he did after his request for an exemption was rejected. He ultimately was fined for attending the team’s Halloween party. If he’d simply told his story then, airing the various grievances he rattled off to Rogan, Rodgers would have been telling the truth, and his word and integrity would be intact. Right or wrong, the league and the union developed a protocol that tied availability to play to vaccination. And, yes, the rules created a huge incentive to get the vaccination. As Rogan asked, “How are they getting a diluted strand of the virus?” As Rodgers replied, “I don’t know that exactly or want to get into that exactly, I don’t think.”) The protocol developed by the league and the union resulted in the rejection of his effort to utilize his proposed homeopathic immunization process. And I had come to the conclusion I’m gonna say, ‘I’ve been immunized.’ And if there’s a follow-up, then talk about my process.
