Aaron Rodgers is opening up about his controversial refusal to get vaccinated for COVID-19 in an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience”.

During the conversation, Rodgers revealed that when he initially claimed to have been “immunized.” he used that specific word in order to be intentionally misleading. “They were doing this, I called it a witch hunt, where they were asking every single player ‘are you vaccinated?’ You know, they were asking a bunch of big quarterbacks and some guys were saying, ‘it’s personal’ or whatever.

They didn’t want to talk about their status and it almost guaranteed you weren’t vaccinated, right? So then they were getting ripped,” Rodgers told Rogan.
