All it took for blue checkmark heads to explode was Aaron Rodgers announcing on the Pat McAfee Show that he had consulted Joe Rogan on treatments to deal with COVID.
Rodgers explained to McAfee and co-host A.J. Hawk that he consulted with Rogan, enemy No. 1 of blue checkmarks in their fake crusade against COVID, and noted that he and Rogan have developed a friendship.
“I consulted with a now good friend of mine, Joe Rogan, after he got COVID and I’ve been doing a lot of the stuff he recommended in his podcasts,” Rodgers said. “I’m going to have the best immunity possible now based on the 2.5-million-person study from Israel [that shows] people who recover have the most robust immunity.
“I’m thankful for people like Joe for stepping up and using their voice. I’m thankful for my medical squad and I’m thankful for all the love and support I’ve gotten.”

Rodgers went on to confirm that he’s been taking monoclonal antibodies and ivermectin — the drug that Rogan has been crushed by the blue checkmark brigade/CNN for taking — zinc, vitamins and says he feels “pretty incredible.”
And it was that 56-seconds of audio that sent the checkmarks off a cliff over Aaron not falling in line with them on the subject of COVID.

“I am not a COVID-denier or any (expletive) like that. I just wanted to make the best choice for my body,” Rodgers added.
Yeah, but that’s not how the checkmarks roll, Aaron. Remember, these are the same people who didn’t want sports to ever return. They actually hate sports even though it pays their bills.
Aaron Rodgers knew the COVID rules. If he didn't want to follow them, he should have just retired. If he still doesn't like the COVID rules, he should just retire now.

Aaron Rodgers is what happens when you surround yourself only by people who have the answers you want to hear.
It’s not a mystery that this is the same man who doesn’t interact with his family anymore.

It's amazing that a pro athlete, whose entire livelihood (which in Aaron Rodgers' case is tens of millions of $) is dependent on his health, would reject universal medical advice and trust a quack podcast host over his team doctors (and every other doctor.)

THIS DUDE JUST SAID HE'S DOING WHAT WAS RECOMMENDED ON JOE ROGAN'S PODCAST. HIS "NEW GOOD FRIEND JOE ROGAN."
HE JUST SAID HE TOOK THE ANTIBODY STUFF, TOO! WHOA THIS IS HAPPENING HERE.

Main takeaway: Aaron Rodgers is an anti-vaxxer, playing the victim over his own selfish acts, and he’s listening to crackpots like Joe Rogan.

Folks, @AaronRodgers12 is a 100% IDIOT if his COVID consult is with @joerogan. https://t.co/DhXfmcku6p

The only real difference between Aaron Rodgers and the Ivermectin Facebook groups is that he sounds… behind.
The IVM groups have largely moved on, adding a litany of other "cures" because Ivermectin, to them, doesn't fully "work" on Delta. The Joe Rogan Battery is old now.

I was just talking to a friend about how both of us used to listen to Joe Rogan's podcast and we can't anymore because of the covid misinformation, and now I'm listening to Aaron Rodgers talk about how helpful Joe Rogan has been to shaping his thinking on covid.

This trusted medical official has provided guidance and information to millions of people during the pandemic
Contestant: "Who is Anthony Fauci?"
Aaron Rodgers: I'm sorry. We were looking for "Who is Joe Rogan?" https://t.co/XlnhURaEey

So much idiocy from Aaron Rodgers in this thread, but dude being a MAGAt isn't a surprise. (He also details how he took medical advice from Joe Rogan and is now taking ivermectin.) https://t.co/HXIbFpNX0D

Damn his press conference when he returns is going to be must watch to see all these “media” people lose there damn minds. I hope he pulls a Marshawn Lynch and doesn’t answer anything and says I’m here so I don’t get fine and cuts them all out except McAfee and Rogan.
These sure be “troubling times” … For The Record … My wife and I have both had the monoclonal infusion and took Invermectin and we are both doing very very well, thank you very much.
I was never much of an Aaron Rogers – in fact I no longer watch the NFL – but I wish him well. I thought he and Danica made a nice couple … oh well.

bomani wtf lol another angry negro where race is all about everything he should listen to MLK speech again if he ever has
Any time I begin to doubt my belief that most people are fucking MORONS, I start reading a few Twitter feeds.
Funny how so called journalists, who probably can’t immunology or epidemiology, blindly trust pharmaceutical companies who have paid out tens of billions of dollars in civil and criminal settlements for repeatedly making claims and bribing doctors.
But sure let’s not listen to doctors who are actually effectively treating patients and listen to those corrupt pharma companies……. smart. 🙄
Wow these people are frigin nuts. I’m mean they are all in on the dem plantation and big pharma. Maybe there’s something in the vaccine that links all the hosts brain waves or some crazy shit because they all sound so ridiculously stupid and they all say the exact same thing. No offense but I’ll take advice from Joe Rogan on Covid( because he’s had it, beat it, and consulted the best doctors money can buy) over Dr. Doggy killer and CNN sycophants everyday of the week. It’s so god damn hilarious that these people are “educated” at the supposed best institutions in the country and are so gullible and shallow. They bring down the average iq level every time they speak. I don’t even know what to say anymore, liberals are just so dumb it’s almost sad.
None of the “enlightened elites” ever challenge an opposing view based on the facts and science. Namecalling, bleating like sheep, that is their entire arsenal.
