State Farm insurance is continuing its financial partnership with vaccine-rejecting NFL star Aaron Rodgers, praising the Green Bay Packers quarterback as a “great ambassador” for the company for nearly a decade.
But the insurance giant is still encouraging people to get vaccinated against COVID-19, even though their ambassador evaded questions about his vaccination status, spread misinformation about the disease and has tested positive for COVID-19.
“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,” said a statement issued by a company spokesperson to USA Today.
