Rodgers revealed his vaccination status after a recent positive Covid-19 test
Packers QB says he is allergic to an ingredient in Pfizer and Modern vaccines
Prevea Health has ended its nine-year partnership with Aaron Rodgers amid controversy regarding the National Football League (NFL) star’s decision not to get vaccinated against Covid-19.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback tested positive for Covid-19 last week and sparked controversy when it was revealed he was not vaccinated, despite previously telling reporters that he had been “immunised� against the virus.
On 5th November, Rodgers told the Pat McAfee Show that he is allergic to “an ingredient that’s in the mRNA vaccines�, and said he had concerns over blood clots in relation to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was temporarily paused in April but resumed later that month after a review by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC and FDA.

The CDC found that the risk of clotting after receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was roughly seven per million cases, mostly in women between the ages of 18 and 49.
During the interview, Rodgers also incorrectly linked Covid-19 vaccines with infertility, and defended his right to “body autonomy�.
It is clear that Rodgers broke several of the NFL’s Covid-19 protocols when it was assumed that he was vaccinated. The Packers quarterback criticised those protocols, such as mask wearing indoors for unvaccinated players, as being “shame based� and “not based on science�.
“I’m not, you know, some sort of anti-vax flat-earther,� said Rodgers.
“I am somebody who is a critical thinker. I believe strongly in bodily autonomy and ability to make choices for your body.
“Health is not a one-size-fits-all for everybody.�
The day after Rodgers’ appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Prevea Health confirmed the termination of their partnership, which started in 2012.
