Rodgers claims he is immunized. I am not an MD, but the CDC website defines "immunization" as follows:
Immunization: A process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.

Which begs the question: exactly what vaccine(s) has Rodgers received if he is "immunized"? And if he hasn't received a Covid-19 vaccine, exactly what is he "immunized" against?

Alternatively, is Rodger's misleading use of the word "immunized" just another example of him being a selfish, narcissistic, elitist, lying, f****** douche bag?

Never thought there’d be plausible debate over who was the dumbest GB QB of the last 20 years. Has any celebrity (non politician) done more damage to his reputation that Aaron did here? Maybe that weird Michael Jackson interview.

Mel Gibson's DUI? Tom Cruise in 2005 also comes to mind.

I guess it’s a little different. Gibson and Cruise continued to have successful movie careers but they weren’t changing professions. Rodgers is certainly at the backend of his playing career but will this impact the next chapter?

Does murdering your wife and her boyfriend count or strictly self-destructing via media?

I imagine State Farm will have a huge push to dump him for starters.

I just watched that whole interview.

The thing about Rodgers is that he is profoundly dumb, and likely has spent most of his life surrounded by sycophants like the dudes on that show (and whoever his ‘medical team’ is). He doesn’t have anyone in his life who can tell him he’s wrong. In fact he thinks anyone who does question him must be part of some deranged woke mob or part of a media witch hunt. What a clown.

Jimmy Fund bet nothing significant happens?
Taken at literal, face value, you'd lose that bet. They'll slap the Packers on the wrist with a meaningless fine, offer no explanation as to why they aren't punishing it more strongly, and then wait for all of this to blow over. Which it will in fairly short order.

Edit - they may even take a very low draft pick, but highly debatable as to whether that's significant.

The Sklar Brothers have been pushing the idea for years that every athlete should have a "no" man. He hangs with your crew and just tells you no about every one of your stupid ideas.

"Should I buy this Bengal tiger?"
"No."

"I can trust Joe Rogan over all the team doctors, right?"
"Not a chance."

"I'm thinking about signing with the Bears."
"No fucking way, man."

It may have saved him a lot of trouble.

I believe that's a reference to Bledsoe being the first choice for the role that Favre played in that movie, and supposedly he backed out due to the fallout of the moshpit incident.
I didn't know that and it's amazing.

Poor Drew. Pipped for Mary and Pipped by Brady. Tough 5 year run.

No they are breathlessly reporting on his podcast appearance as if he’s this deep thinker who needs to be taken seriously, instead of a clown who should be treated like a clown.

It always amazes me that someone could refuse the vaccine because they don't trust science but will take MC antibodies instead.

Someone should start a rumor that Ivermectin causes sterility and see Rodgers handles it.
I literally have this conversation every shift.


Me: I see you're not vaccinated. You're pretty sick and your Covid test was positive today. Would you like to discuss vaccinations?
Patient: Hell no!
Me: Ok. Well, I'm gonna do everything to try and help you today. Have you heard about MC antibody treatment? It's also on EUA from the FDA. Not as well studied as the vaccines currently available but it does seem to help after someone is infected.
Patient: No. Never heard about those.
Me: Wanna try 'em? We have less data on them than the vaccines which are widely available. It's a one hour infusion followed by a one hour observation period.
Patient: Hell yes! Anything to make me feel better.
Me (inside my own head): WTF?!?! I guess you never heard the parable re an ounce of prevention.
Me: All right, I'll get those ordered for you. Hope you're feeling better soon. We're gonna put a stake in the ground today and get this virus treated. Hopefully, we can get you feeling better soon. Rest easy, I'll get the treatment started soon.
Patient: Thanks doc.

My soul dies a tiny bit each time this cognitive dissonance is played out in front of me. And it happens multiple times a day.

What a weird story. For the most part, it's just comical. I mean it's tragic that we have such idiots among us, but I really wasn't holding up the pro athletes as the sane ones among us.

I guess I always just assume they are all fucking stupid and rarely are you proven wrong in the end.

The MLK thing though has me seriously angry. You can't just say shit like that. I don't care how fucking stupid you are or bubbled you've been. Fuck him right in the ear.

Christ, that must test your self-control to it's outer limits. I would absolutely blow up on one of them, probably pretty quickly. WTF is wrong with people?

Just read this aloud to my wife. She want to know if you believe vaccination has an impact on the already sick?

He's probably headed to State Farm headquarters right now with a 300 page binder showing that the Patrick Price is a main stream media narrative and that Mahomes indeed gets a sweet deal on his insurance.

Isn't his father a chiropractor? I know they have some... interesting views on this stuff.

All of his views could be beliefs he has held for a long time.

Not really for an active/ongoing infection. But patients who have been infected should still be vaccinated after approximately 90 days per current guidelines. That advice is subject to change as we learn more info but it seems clinically legit so far.

I didn’t mean to imply that I offer vax to CV-19+ patients. BUT I do use the opportunity to advocate for vaccinations in general and CV-19 in particular. Plus, I remind them that the immunity conveyed via infection is likely transient and a subsequent vaccine is in their best interest.

When he was hosting Jeopardy, did he just read the questions they gave him like an idiot, or did he do his own research and talk to Joe Rogan first?

I don't disagree, but I think once BB and TB were decoupled the hate towards each became much more run of the mill.
Unfortunately, this post is unrelated to the thread subject, but as a former card-carrying member of that club, I feel it is worth a potential scolding to confirm that suspicion. Mostly for BB, though. He’s just so much smarter than any other HC, and one can only watch Mike Tomlin fumble away opportunities with his clock management so many times before one enters the Acceptance stage of grief. They’re far more tolerable apart.

At the bottom of it all, he’s a fucking weasel. He’s trying to look the courageous independent thinker, but only after his cowardice was exposed. He had his chance to declare his profound opposition to the vaccine but instead obfuscated when asked if he’d gotten the shot.

Bob Costas, of all people, had a pretty solid take: “No matter how anti-facts, anti-science and anti-common sense some of the anti-vaxxers are,” Costas said of the aforementioned athletes. “Say whatever else you want, they've all owned it, they’ve all come out and said, ‘this is what i believe, this is what I'm doing.’ Aaron Rodgers was disingenuous about it.”

I know it’s Aaron Rodgers, but would it shock anyone if GB cut him within the next week? (Both due to locker room stuff) and perhaps because of the sideshow/distraction this is/will cause for the team?

It would be shocking and would never happen. He’s a star QB and the Packers have Super Bowl aspirations. He will pay a fine and move on.
