Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he is unvaccinated against COVID-19 and is disappointed with the treatment he's been receiving in the media.
this weekend due to COVID-19 protocols, the team's head coach Matt LaFleur announced Wednesday.
Rodgers said he experienced some mild symptoms for roughly 48 hours but currently "feels really good" He wasn't certain when he would return to the field or what protocols were in place for him now that he tested positive for COVID-19.Rodgers said he consulted with podcast host Joe Rogan and took his advice on how he treated his own COVID-19 infection.
The CDC noted the Israeli study looked at people who had been vaccinated six months before or longer. "Understanding infection-induced and vaccine-induced immunity over time is important, particularly for future studies to consider," they wrote. Rodgers said the NFL knew he was unvaccinated, and he had multiple conversations with NFL doctors including one where a doctor told him, "it is impossible for vaccinated person to get COVID or spread COVID."
Their study found people who had not been vaccinated and who ended up in the hospital were five times more likely to have COVID-19 than people who had been vaccinated within the past three to six months. "There's a lot of conversation around it, around the league, and a lot of guys who have made statements and not made statements," Rodgers said. "Owners have made statements. There's guys on the team that haven't been vaccinated. I think it's personal decision. I'm not going to judge those guys. There's guys that have been vaccinated and contracted COVID. So it's an interesting issue.
