Who is Aaron Rodgers? Over lengthy career as NFL star, he’s offered only clues
In the spring of 2016, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers made an appearance on a podcast called “You Made It Weird” with comedian Pete Holmes.
For more than two hours, they covered a expansive range of topics, most unrelated to football. Organized religion, for example. Love. History. UFO sightings. Reincarnation. “Question everything,” Rodgers said. It had become something of a life motto.
“To question everything doesn’t mean that you don’t have faith in things and don’t believe in anything and want to just be the devil’s advocate in every conversation,” he continued. “It’s just that, there’s things going on more than we see and feel.”
The podcast offered a glimpse into Rodgers’ personality and interests away from football – a select window into his world view.
His interview on “The Pat McAfee Show” last week offered another.
Two days after testing positive for COVID-19, Rodgers spoke for more than 45 minutes about his decision to not get one of the three approved COVID-19 vaccines, his skepticism of the shots’ efficacy and safety, and the treatments he had pursued instead. Many of his claims about the virus and the vaccine were either false or misleading.
It was a stance that Rodgers had previously declined to disclose. When asked in August if he had been vaccinated, he said that he had been “immunized” and went on to describe getting the vaccine as a personal choice, without going into much depth beyond that.
“Personal health decisions, in my opinion, should be private,” Rodgers explained more recently, on “The Pat McAfee Show.” “And they shouldn’t have to be gone through the ringer and overscrutinized by people who are just pushing their own types of propaganda onto people and ideals.”
