Lasting immunity found after recovery from COVID-19 - from National Institutes of Health
Several months ago, our studies showed that natural infection induced a strong response, and this study now shows that the responses last, Weiskopf says. We are hopeful that a similar pattern of responses lasting over time will also emerge for the vaccine-induced responses. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/lasting-immunity-found-after-recovery-covid-19

AND:
Natural immunity to covid is powerful.
Its okay to have an incorrect scientific hypothesis. But when new data proves it wrong, you have to adapt. Unfortunately, many elected leaders and public health officials have held on far too long to the hypothesis that natural immunity offers unreliable protection against covid-19 a contention that is being rapidly debunked by science.
More than 15 studies have demonstrated the power of immunity acquired by previously having the virus. A 700,000-person study from Israel two weeks ago found that those who had experienced prior infections were 27 times less likely to get a second symptomatic covid infection than those who were vaccinated. This affirmed a June Cleveland Clinic study of health-care workers (who are often exposed to the virus), in which none who had previously tested positive for the coronavirus got reinfected. The study authors concluded that individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from covid-19 vaccination. And in May, a Washington University study found that even a mild covid infection resulted in long-lasting immunity. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/09/15/natural-immunity-vaccine-mandate/

OP
Aaron Rodgers is entitled to stay unvaccinated. He's not entitled to lie about it.

He should say good bye to his paychecks from the NFL and all those State Farm commericals

Brady set the example for the NFL. He is playing and thriving with a slap on the wrist.

I agree, but my understanding is that the ban extended to any position in the MLB.

For the person that he infects, the statistics mean nothing. Their stat is 100%.

Given the high rate of false positives with PCR, we don't know that he's infected anyone.
