Howard Stern is livid over Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers for lying about his vaccine status.
The shock jock called out the quarterback on his radio show on Monday, startiing his rant by saying he was worked up over the weekend because of Rodgers and suggested they throw the reigning NFL MVP out of the league for lying about his vaccination status earlier this year when the quarterback said he was "immunized" when asked if he took the vaccine.
"I was so worked up over the weekend about this f---ing Aaron Rodgers of the NFL," Stern said in a clip from his radio show Monday. "If there was decency in this world, you know, I would throw this guy out of the football league so fast. What he did to his fellow teammates… this f---ing guy, they should throw him out of the league so fast," Stern continued. "Aaron Rodgers, come on dude, really? You know, that whole bulls--t game, ‘Yeah, I have the antibodies,’ first of all, I don’t know where these guys get their information from."
Stern seemed even more baffled that Rodgers would be taking advice from Joe Rogan instead of someone more qualified.
"You got doctors who study in medical school, I don’t know what has happened to this country," Stern said as his co-host Robin Quivers asked, "Why would you go to Joe Rogan with a medical problem?
Rodgers detailed his reason for not taking the vaccine in a long-form interview on The Pat McAfee Show where he listed several reasons why he didn't take any of the vaccines, including having an allergy to an ingredient in the mRNA vaccine. He also talked to Joe Rogan about some of the treatments he took when he was diagnosed with COVID. Rodgers said one of the medicines he was on was ivermectin.
It’s unclear on how the league will deal with Rodgers for lying to the media and possibly violating multiple COVID protocols, but the quarterback is still being backed by his most well-known sponsor, State Farm, who said in a statement to USA Today Monday that, "We don’t support some of the statements that he has made, but we respect his right to have his own personal point of view. We recognize our customers, employees, agents, and brand ambassadors come from all walks of life, with differing viewpoints on many issues. Our mission at State Farm is to support safer, stronger communities."
