Aaron Rodgers explains calculated 'immunized' remark that fueled COVID controversy

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Green Bay Packers star Aaron Rodgers caused a stir last year when he tested positive for coronavirus in the middle of the season after telling reporters he had been "immunized."

Rodgers later admitted he wasn’t vaccinated against the coronavirus, and his strong defense against getting the COVID-19 vaccine drew some backlash. He managed to silence the doubters with an epic performance during the regular season on his way to his second straight MVP award.

Rodgers appeared on a recent episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" and said he knew he was going to get the question at last year’s training camp and thought about how he was going to answer.
