Aaron Rodgers apologizes to 'loved ones' that got caught 'in the middle of' Covid-19 comments controversy
CNN
Aaron Rodgers has apologized to his "loved ones" who got caught "in the middle of" the attention directed at him after his Covid-19 comments earlier in the season.
In November last year, Rodgers missed an NFL fixture due to Covid-19 protocols. The Green Bay Packers quarterback later confirmed he was unvaccinated and had been taking advice from podcast host Joe Rogan on how to deal with a coronavirus infection.
He said after that the media was on a "witch hunt" to find out which players were vaccinated and blamed reporters for him saying he was "immunized" back in August. Rodgers said if any reporter would have asked a follow-up question, he would have explained he's "not an anti-vax flat earther," but that he's a "critical thinker," as well as saying that he "never wanted to be a divisive, polarizing figure."
