‘I am a better footballer than Mo Salah, a better singer than Adele and better looking than Jamie Dornan.’

‘Of course, all of these statements are explicitly false. I accept that they may be misleading but if you have a problem with me then you are just being ‘woke’.’

‘This, my friends, from here on in, shall be known as the Aaron Rodgers Defence.’

Last week, the NFL star tested positive for Covid. In August, he said he had been ‘immunized’, which ‘turned out to mean the complete opposite of what almost every single person on the planet thought it meant.’

Instead, the Green Bay Packers quarterback had been taking a mix of vitamins and unproven pills.

‘Rodgers claims he is allergic to some vaccines and did not feel confident in another, but the simple truth is that he is trying, and spectacularly failing, to move the goalposts.’

‘This is not an important discussion about the balance between personal freedom and collective responsibility, here’s why.’

‘Rodgers is not and has never been obliged to be vaccinated under NFL rules. Instead, they simply require unjabbed players to take a daily test and wear a mask inside the club facility.’

‘There is a nuanced, complicated debate surrounding vaccine mandates. This was not it, and to frame the conversation as such and cry, as he did, ‘witch hunt’, is downright offensive.’
