If you’re anything like me, you’ve dealt with your share of conspiracies surrounding the COVID vaccine. I have a lot of friends, even from similar political affiliations as mine, who have drastic misunderstandings about the origins of the vaccine and what kind of research went into it.

In my opinion, that’s no excuse for not doing your civic duty: If you are physically healthy enough to get it, taking the jab is your responsibility to your fellow humans.

Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers apparently doesn’t feel the same way. And despite the fact that he has publicly always been seen as somewhat of a lefty — especially considering the liberal activist he’s engaged to — it seems that the politics around the vaccine are less important to him than his “personal freedom.”

After testing positive for COVID, it was revealed that Rodgers lied to the NFL about his vaccination status in a roundabout way. When asked if he’d gotten the vaccine, his response was “Yes, I’ve been immunized.”

That’s not quite the same thing. His fiance is widely known for being a rather “hippie” type, and she has stated on multiple occasions that she doesn’t take medicine — she mixes her own cures for things when she feels ill.

That wasn’t quite good enough for Rodgers’ sponsor Prevea Health. After hearing his statements on Pat McAfee’s radio show, Prevea issued a statement of their own:

Prevea Health remains deeply committed to protecting its patients, staff, providers and communities amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes encouraging and helping all eligible populations to become vaccinated against COVID-19 to prevent the virus from further significantly impacting lives and livelihoods.

In other words, they dropped him. I personally would have dropped him right after he said he was conferring with libertarian idiot Joe Rogan, but at least it didn’t take long for Prevea to do the right thing.

Rodgers had said he had “an allergy” to an ingredient contained in both the Moderna and Pfizer shots, and that he was concerned about why the Johnson & Johnson vaccine had briefly been pulled from shelves back in April.

But considering the strict COVID protocols that the NFL has implemented during the pandemic, we’re surprised Aaron hasn’t been dropped like a 47-yard pass by all of his sponsors.
