Aaron Rodgers’ ‘immunized’ status and alternative-medicine approach to circumvent the NFL’s vaccine policy makes it even harder to put COVID-19 behind us
A few days before it was announced that he had tested positive for COVID, Aaron Rodgers made an announcement.
The NFL loved that about Rodgers. It proved the league wasn’t just a bunch of knuckleheads. There was at least one provable deep thinker in the bunch. As it turns out, by “immunized,” Rodgers meant that he was not vaccinated, but taking a homeopathic cocktail. One presumes it’s like Bitcoin for the nervous system.
It’s become clear that despite all the hard talk, no major league has an actual vaccine policy. The leagues will do what they can to make life difficult for employees who won’t comply, but they aren’t prepared to force anything. It’s also becoming clear that there is another group emerging in the vaccine discussion. On either end of the debate, there are the loudly compliant and loudly non-compliant. In the middle, there’s the quietly compliant and the quietly hesitant. But there’s also a fifth group – the weirdos and cool kids who endorse a policy of non-violent resistance.
