Anti-Vax NFL Superstar Loses Endorsement Deal Over Medical Decision

Linkedin Share

It appears as though even NFL legends are not immune from the whims of cancel culture, even when their purported controversies are simply just medical decisions.

Aaron Rodgers, the much-exalted quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, is a surefire NFL hall-of-famer whose contribution to the game of football is undeniable.  He’s one of the best to ever suit up in front of the cheeseheads, and is undoubtedly an elite player in the league.

But he also has some concerns about COVID-19 vaccines, and has chosen to not yet be inoculated against the virus in this late stage of the waning pandemic.

This personal medical decision is now affecting his career.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback is out Sunday against the Chiefs after testing positive for COVID-19, and it was also revealed that he’s unvaccinated. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

During an incredible interview with Pat McAfee, the NFL star revealed his reasons for being unvaccinated, ripped the league’s protocols, talked about taking advice from Joe Rogan, taking Ivermectin and much more.

And then…

Well, it appears that his interview with McAfee has now cost him a major endorsement deal. Prevea Health announced the mutual split Saturday and said in part, “Prevea Health remains deeply committed to protecting its patients, stafff, providers and communities admist 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.”

Americans have long been concerned about potential discrimination against the unvaccinated, given the intense public and political pressure that pro-vaccine influencers have had in recent weeks.
