Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday and will miss at least the next 10 days of activities, including this weekend’s game against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
While the reigning MVP contracting the COVID virus is a story on its own, what makes this situation unique, is Rodgers has been implying to the media all along that he was vaccinated: “Yeah I’ve been immunized,” Rodgers said back in August.
Whoops.
Turns out, what Rodgers was referring to was an alternative treatment he received from his personal physician, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, and not an NFL approved vaccination method.
