NFL Star Aaron Rodgers Explains What is and is NOT Science in Interview With Pat McAfee (“If science can’t be questioned, it’s not science anymore, it’s propaganda.”)

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers discussed his views on the science of Covid-19 treatments and vaccines at length Tuesday with tank top-wearing former NFL player Pat McAfee.

Rodgers joined Sirius XM’s The Pat McAfee Show as he continues to navigate the fallout from what has been a grueling six weeks, at least off the field. Rodgers indicated he had been “immunized” against the virus in the preseason, and he has been facing nothing but heat since he tested positive for the virus last month.

“I’ve gotten accused of spreading misinformation when I talk about the treatment plan I used to get better, that’s been used by a number of people and doctors,” Rodgers told McAfee, before he cited podcaster Joe Rogan, who he consulted with before taking the drug ivermectin to treat himself.

The NFL star, who is currently in the MVP conversation, then complained that too few people are taking such alternative treatment methods seriously.

“One of my issues, and I’ve brought this up many times, is one: they don’t talk about the fact that you know guys are getting better, people are getting better using these things. That’s fine, you don’t want to talk about that,” the quarterback said. “There’s still zero conversation, at least publicly, around treatment options for people that test positive.”

He comes across as a bit unpleasant sometimes, but he is no dummy, and he gets this.

If you can’t question, it’s called religion.

Good for Rodgers. When was the last time any of us have ever heard the “government bureaucrats” mention fitness and diet as a basic treatment option for ANYTHING?

Remember the President’s Council on Physical Fitness? You should be required to pass a physical fitness exam before you’re granted permission to graduate High School. 6 pull ups. 30 push-ups, run a mile in under 10 minutes. Etc etc - Anyone can do that, seems like. Ban fast food commercials on TV like they did tobacco products

Fitness and diet don’t put money in the checking accounts of Big Pharma shareholders like Fauci, Biden and congress, though

Follow the money

What part of him is unpleasant?
I guarantee you that 80% of the NFL is following the same protocol or getting saline shots in lieu of the actual jab.
You think someone like Tom Brady is going to get jabbed multiple times and then get so-called boosters?
Hell no. I guarantee you he was granted an exemption of some sorts.
This entire pandemic is a SCAM.

Shut up or they will stomp on your toes and your nut sack. Your attempt at offering intelligent reasonable dialog over issues effecting every American is not appreciated by fedzilla, Mr. Rodgers. Do you have any idea how much propaganda it takes to install communism inside an armed population with 350 million guns without firing one shot?

Well, ok. They did use a bioweapon on our own people, But that's just transitional.

I went through 4 years of H.S. where P.E. was required every year. A female class mate was exempt all 4 years but graduated with the rest of us. No one but her knew why. I always assumed it had something to do with her female plumbing.

I was speaking about him personality-wise, not with respect to his attitudes about science.

I am in agreement with him on that.

One of the things some people don’t like about Aaron Rogers is that he doesn’t give a shit about what others think.

One of the things I love about him is that he doesn’t give a shit about what others think.

Rogers is bringing up REAL science. Good for him.

I was exempt from P.E. for all of my high school years and had early dismissal as well. I was a nationally ranked athlete and ran 3 miles to school in the morning and ran 3 miles home one hour after lunch rain or shine and sometimes in the snow. When I got home, I rode my bicycle 20 to 40 miles and much further on weekend days. I used the gym and pool for training, but I was basically on my own. I did work with teachers and was given credit for taking P.E. classes. Some of the other kids were jealous but most knew that I was extremely dedicated... it was not a mystery.

“If science can’t be questioned, it’s not science anymore, it’s propaganda.”

That would make a great bumper sticker!

“If science can’t be questioned, it’s not science anymore, it’s propaganda.”

Aaron Rodgers is channeling Richard Feynman? I thought the only intellectual quarterback was Frank Ryan PhD of the Cleveland Browns.
