Aaron Rodgers has been the topic of many conversations off the football field throughout the years. Rodgers is no doubt one of the most talented quarterbacks to ever play the game, however, he is also one of the most controversial outside the game. The four-time MVP quarterback got into it with someone who has a Doctorate of Medicine and of Philosophy. Not only did Aaron Rodgers speak his mind about the issue at hand, he endorsed someone else in the process.
Aaron Rodgers Got Involved In The Joe Rogan vs Peter Hotez Feud
Aaron Rodgers finds himself in the middle of a controversy that has nothing to do with football in the slightest. The New York Jets quarterback is embroiled in the debate over vaccines with Joe Rogan and Peter Hotez.
Hotez is a scientist who is considered a vaccine expert and Rogan is perhaps the world’s most famous podcast host.
Rodgers has waded into this issue because of his endorsement of Robert Kennedy Jr., a Democratic presidential candidate who espoused anti-vaccine rhetoric on “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
The politician and podcaster have routinely invited Peter Hotez to come on the show and debate, something the doctor has refused to do. Aaron Rodgers recently shared a clip of Hotez being slandered by the candidate known as RFK.
Robert Kennedy criticized the doctor and tried to debunk many of his claims and Rodgers posted the clip to social media, saying that Kennedy would easily defeat Hotez in a debate.
Aaron Rodgers didn’t just say that Kennedy would easily defeat Hotez, he took it a step further. “@RobertFKennedyJR would mop [the floor] with this bum,” the newly signed New York Jets quarterback posted on his Instagram reels. The comment was attached to an older Rogan podcast clip featuring Professor Horetz admitting to “unhealthy eating habits.” Rodgers took a jab at Horetz again while writing “I don’t take health advice from unhealthy people,” referring to Horetz beefy appearance.
Rodgers has previously shown his support for RFK, and we all know the whole vaccine/NFL ordeal he went through.
Professior Peter Hotez MD-PhD Responds To Aaron Rodgers
“This [Rodgers post] was so unnecessary,” the MSNBC-regular Hotez wrote. “Disappointed he took a cheap shot vs me this week… [at the time] I criticized him for his public antivaccine stance…” before adding, “I needed to speak out in 2021 to save lives.”
