“As a lifelong fan and partial owner of the Green Bay Packers, I was devastated Wednesday morning to hear Aaron Rodgers tested positive for the coronavirus and that he is also unvaccinated,” reads a guest essay for @latimesopinion. latimes.com/opinion/story/…
“I remember listening to a press conference Rodgers gave in August, before the season began. He said he was ‘immunized,’ a strange word to use, I thought, instead of ‘vaccinated,’ but he quickly followed it by saying he would not ‘judge’ unvaccinated players.”
“ESPN reported Wednesday morning that before training camp, Rodgers asked the NFL if he could have an alternate treatment count as vaccination.”
“The NFL denied his request and has considered him unvaccinated since the beginning of the season.” 
“So the NFL has a lot to account for: If it knew he was not vaccinated, why was he allowed to endanger his fellow teammates and coaches?”
“Of course I wish Rodgers a speedy recovery, and I’m not just saying that as someone who wears his jersey with pride for every game.”
“But my team loyalty doesn’t blind me from seeing that the quarterback made a dumb and selfish choice when he didn’t get the vaccine — and then misled the public by his claim to be immunized.”
