Nearly all professional athletes have been fully vaccinated. Most of the most highly paid athletes are fully vaccinated. Yet the nitpickers at Forbes magazine shamed the very few who have not indicated their status, including Aaron Rodgers, who isn’t even on the highest-paid list. However, it doesn’t hurt to bend the rules if you want more people clicking on your story about your eyebrow-beating tale.
As if Rodgers hasn’t been criticized enough by self-righteous media, Derek Saul had to add one additional tarring and feathering of the Green Bay Packer quarterback. Forbes has roasted Rodgers, one of just 13 athletes who aren’t vaccinated.
“Though he narrowly missed Forbes’ ‘Highest-Paid Athletes list, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers perhaps brought the most attention to himself for his vaccine skepticism,” Saul said in admitting the salary criteria wasn’t actually the real criteria for the story at all.
The NFL’s reigning most valuable player – who isn’t really on the list of highest paid athletes – “unleashed a firestorm after he was revealed to be unvaccinated after testing positive for the virus in November,” Saul wrote. Rodgers – who isn’t among the high paid athletes – said he feared the vaccine could cause sterility and fertility issues.” There is no evidence to this claim, Saul said.
Notch taken out of superstar athlete by obscure reporter who can’t stick to his reporting criteria.
What’s more is this: if only 13 athletes were not vaccinated, if nearly 100 percent are vaccinated, why are the pro sports leagues scrambling in response to COVID outbreaks? These vaccines are not foolproof. No.
Saul stated only that thirteen athletes had refused to be vaccinated, although it is now believed they have been vaccinated. This is done not to humiliate those who resist vaccinations but to make a PSA proclaiming that the vaccines are completely safe. The outbreak is hidden behind the curtain.
It’s not hard to understand why athletes were hesitant to get jabbed. There are risks, though rare, of death (10,688 through Dec. 20, 2021), severe allergic reactions, blood clotting, paralysis and more.
That’s not supposed to matter if you wear a shirt stating Knicks, Steelers or Flyers on the front. You may also be on the Forbes list. You will be ignored by the media if you have vaccination concerns. Your rights of conscience suddenly disappear.
Athletes who are performing in public cannot weigh the risks. They’re supposed to take one for the team even if they some doubts. In fact, they’ve had the media riding them all season to set their well-being aside for vaccines with very shaking records.
