Twitter Reacts to Aaron Rodgers' Anti-Vax Comments on Pat McAfee Show
Aaron Rodgers went on the Pat McAfee Show Friday afternoon and went on a 40-plus minute anti-vaccine rant that was staggering for so many reasons. Rodgers seemed to check off every box on the COVID-19 vaccine conspiracy theory box and even compared himself to Martin Luther King at one point. So yeah, it's been a day.
Rodgers tested positive for COVID this week and it was revealed he is unvaccinated after lying about his status earlier in the year. Twitter had thoughts on Rodgers' appearance with McAfee and went hard at him.
Here are some of the best tweets and memes we saw come across our timelines:
I'm not just some lemming. I'm a critical thinker. I do my own research. So when the former host of Fear Factor tells me to eat some paste that treats bacterial infections in horses, well yeah, I'm gonna take that seriously.

No one, and I mean no one, loves an MLK quote more than a white person that’s clearly in the wrong.

If Rodgers keeps this up and we're gonna need @levarburton to try out for quarterback of the Green Bay Packers.

I guess this means any epidemiologist could study quarterbacking for three months then pull rank on Aaron Rodgers. https://t.co/9feZAJkWJi

Starting to think Alex Trebek is pulling a Phantom of the Opera on all the replacement hosts.
