Howard Stern Rips Aaron Rodgers Over Anti-Vax Stance, Says He Deserves To Be Kicked Out Of NFL
Nov. 8 2021, Published 5:57 p.m. ET
Aaron Rodgers is the latest celebrity to come under fire from Howard Stern due to his vaccination stance.
Since the Packers quarterback tested positive for Covid-19 last week, he has been under scrutiny by everyone from the NFL itself to the radio host. Stern wasn’t scared to call Rodgers out and tell him what was on his mind regarding the whole Rodgers-Covid fiasco.
"This f---ing guy. They should throw him out of the league so fast,” Stern said Monday morning. “If I ran the NFL, if there was decency in this world, I would throw this guy out of the football league so fast. They should throw him out of the league so fast with the guy who crashed his car at 153 MPH."
Stern was referring to Henry Ruggs, who was charged with a DUI after smashing into a car going 127 MPH and killing the 23-year-old driver. He was released from the Las Vegas Raiders after his arrest.
This all comes not only after Rodgers tested positive for Covid-19, but also after he made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show claiming he is allergic to the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. Then, to make matters worse, the NFL quarterback said he has issues with potentially receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, so he looked for alternative treatments that were not approved by the NFL.
According to Rodgers himself, he consulted with none other than Joe Rogan regarding alternative treatments and ended up taking his suggestion to ingest monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin, and a list of other unapproved treatments.
"I've consulted with a now-good friend of mine, Joe Rogan, after he got COVID, and I've been doing a lot of the stuff that he recommended in his podcasts and on the phone to me," he claimed last week. "I've been taking monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin, zinc, vitamin c and d, and HCQ."
Rodgers also claimed he was receiving homeopathic treatment from his doctor and that he requested a vaccine exemption on that basis, even though that request was ultimately rejected by the NFL.
But Rodgers isn’t the only professional athlete under scrutiny for his decision not to get vaccinated. As RadarOnline.com reported last month, Nets basketball player Kyrie Irving has been banned from playing and practicing with the team until he decides to get vaccinated – a choice that will reportedly cost him millions of dollars in loss of pay.

“In terms of idiots, he's got to be the top idiot in the country right now,” Stern said about Irving last month, although he is now turning his fury to Rodgers.
