Aaron Rodgers Worries COVID Vaccine May Cause Infertility

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Aaron Rodgers is ready to be a dad.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback, 37, said he believes fatherhood is "the next great chapter of my life" during an interview with The Pat McAfee Show on Friday.

"It's something that I care about a lot," he added.

Rodgers appeared on the show to "set the record straight" after reports surfaced that he had contracted COVID-19 and was unvaccinated, despite previously telling reporters that he was "immunized."

1. No vaccination is deciding to inject the covid virus, does that cause infertility?

[Walleye]

2. Well he teach his child to be an inconsiderate liar like he is?

[milestogo]

3. Gee, I wonder if there are any vaccinated men who have been able to father children.

There's probably data on that.

[JHB]

4. Gosh, what if one of the long-term effects of COVID happens to be infertility?

After all, there's as much data on that as on that effect for the vaccine.

[Mister Ed]

7. It's proven that CoVid causes infertility in about 1% of its victims.

Kills 'em dead. Then they're infertile.

[Ms. Toad]

5. If he's that worried, bank his sperm.

The vaccine doesn't cause infertility. But banking sperm is no big deal for someone with as much money as a professional quarterback has.

Gee . . . wonder if he checks the long-term fertility studies on ivermectin or - for that matter - any other drug he takes.

[Ms. Toad]

20. I'm not suggesting his concerns have any merit -

Merely that the fear of sterility is not a valid concern for anyone with the kind of money he has. There are alternatives to preserve his ability to father a child, if that is the barrier to getting vaccinated.

[orleans]

22. i know. and i'm just saying now that he's had / having covid

he's six times more likely to have ED
i bet he didn't take that into consideration while he was concocting all these lame ass excuses as to why he wouldn't get vaxxed

6. Well, his fiancee suns her vulva

And eats clay, is an antivaxxer, and is more GOOP than GOOP. That would be actor Shailene Woodley.

She's always said she's liberal, but that appears to have changed. A fine line between left woowoos and right wooswoos (looking at you, Q).

[Delphinus]

11. Holy cow -

[NCDem47]

13. The far right and the far left CAN bend to meet each other.

CRAZY!

[Elessar Zappa]

28. Woowoos

having nothing to do with “far left”. There’s plenty of far left people who are anti-woo. The two things have nothing to do with each other.

[LakeArenal]

8. Gee he might have worried that repeated head collisions cause brain damage.

That’s more likely than vaccine infertility.

His excuses make it worse.

[BlackSkimmer]

21. It appears he's already proof of that.

What a moronic asshat.

[Raftergirl]

9. He's a moron.

[BeckyDem]

10. I'll take Colin Kaepernick.

They can keep the liar and idiot, Aaron Rodgers.

[elias7]

12. I'm done with polls of and opinions by people who are not informed

MSM needs to ignore the ignoramuses rather than justifying and publicizing moronic opinions as if it is news.

[SoCalDavidS]

14. Wait....I Thought He Was Just Allergic

I'M SHOCKED!! You mean, maybe he's just using that an excuse, and he's an IDIOT who believes all the conspiracy BS?

And I thought he was being honest this time. LOL.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. It's Both

He says he's allergic to PEG, which is in the mRNA vaccines, (I don't believe him) but that his "research" led him to concerns about the J&J causing infertility.
So, his "research" led him to woo, which did not prevent him from getting COVID. He said he was "immunized". Obviously, he was NOT immune.

[KentuckyWoman]

15. You know what else causes infertility?

Death from Covid.

[no_hypocrisy]

16. IVF Dude!

Or donate at your local Sperm Bank.

[LiberalFighter]

17. If he doesn't believe in protecting himself then

how would he be a good father?

18. The moment @AaronRodgers12 lost Terry Bradshaw. "You lied to everyone."

[Shermann]

23. Oh snap! Terry Bradshaw with the vicious QB sack!! nt

[Wounded Bear]

26. Terry's not known as the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he got this one right...

[FSogol]

24. Choo-choo! Here comes the excuse train!

[Wounded Bear]

25. IIRC, getting covid is far more likely to cause infertility than the vaccine...

but that's just what I heard from, you know, actual doctors and shit.

YMMV, of course.

[njhoneybadger]

27. Hey Aaron ever hear of a sperm bank?

If you were that fucking worried about it.

[rurallib]

30. if there were an intelligence test for fatherhood, this would probably flunk him

hope he can figure out the sex mechanics on his own.

31. Anti-vaxxer Aaron Rodgers' spectacular fall from grace happened in record time

Rodgers came close to being the Jeopardy host.

Link to tweet

To think, Aaron Rodgers could be hosting Jeopardy! right now. Yes, the Green Bay Packers quarterback was at one point one of the leading candidates to host the iconic quiz show. He got rave reviews during his tenure as a guest host, even, becoming a sort of pop-intellectual figure in American life. Well, after Rodgers’ public-relations disaster of an interview on the Pat McAfee Show on Friday, they can consider themselves fortunate that they dodged at least one bullet on their star-crossed quest to replace the late Alex Trebek......

How broad? A 2020 survey revealed that just 8% of respondents had a negative opinion of Rodgers. That’s quite impressive considering how little fun it is for non-Packers fans to watch the league’s reigning Most Valuable Player dismantle their team’s defenses on a regular basis. He even helped break down the stereotype that athletes couldn’t also be intellectually curious, a fact which ironically could be his undoing if it led him to take his current stance on Covid-19.

His reputation will not survive this unscathed. As ESPN’s Mina Kimes points out, Rodgers’ irresponsible comments aren’t just harmless nonsense. Having already put others in danger with his decision, he added to the harm by going on record by spreading misinformation couched in the all-too-familiar language of the nation’s massive anti-vaccination movement. “My body, my choice” breaks down when we’re talking about infectious diseases.....

Rodgers’ pocketbook might take something of a hit, but as long as he’s one of the top quarterbacks in the league, he will be fine financially. Where the real damage will come will be in his public standing. Rodgers will never compete for the title of most-liked player in the league again and he has nobody but himself to blame. Not all defeats in the NFL happen on the field.
