rodgers did not stop there.e also to mcafee about the importance of bodily autonomy. >> i am not, you know, some sort of anti-vax, flat-earther. i am somebody who is a critical thinker. you guys know me, i marched to the beat of my own drum. i believe strongly in bodily autonomy and the ability to make choices for your body, not to have to acquiesce to some woke culture or crazed, you know, group of individuals who say you have to do something. health is not a one-size-fits-all for everybody. >> will: you know in 2021, sanity is treated as conspiracy, and now the nfl is reviewing whether aaron rodgers has violated any of its covid protocols, but rodgers points out those protocols, they are all a charade. they have no basis in science. >> some of the rules to me are not based on science at all. they sincerely are trying to out and shame people, like needing to wear a mask at a podium when every person in the room is vaccinated and wearing a mask, makes no sense to me. if you got vaccinated to, you know, to protec

the team lost and rodgers is under fire. he missed his team's game against the chiefs sunday after testing positive for covid. >> aaron rodgers has every right not to be vaccinated. but if you do, as the leader, you have to make sure you don't hit that covid list. >> it would have been nice if he had just come to the naval academy and learned how to be honest. [ cheering ] learned not to lie. and unfortunately, we've got players who pretty much think only about themselves and i'm extremely disappointed in the actions of aaron rodgers. >> reporter: rodgers remains under a league-mandated ten-day quarantine. the league is still investigating whether the packers and their qb broke the league's rules. >> i believe in the ability to make choices for your body, not acquiesce to some woke culture. >> reporter: rodgers acknowledged on friday that he never took one of the three authorized covid vaccines, saying he's allergic to an ingredient in the pfizer and moderna shots and was concerned about side effects from j&j. he also opened

why do you think aaron rodgers' case i resonating so much? >> aaron rodgers?ot of ways was a quarterback that a lot of people thought they knew. remember, he offered to take off a year to play in the nfl to host "jeopardy!." he was very outgoing, very open on social media. he's actually been quite progressive on topics, eloquent during the racial protests talking about -- supporting social justice and for a lot of people i think there was a notion that rodgers was the smart quarterback and was the one that was somewhat ahead of the game, different from what people fairly or unfairly consider as a dumb jock stereotype. he's on the state farm ads, he's funny and was a good "jeopardy!" host. >> we mentioned fine, $14,000. he's in the second year of a four-year $134 million contract. the same week the nfl fined a cowboys player, ceedee lam, for wearing an -- untucked uniform for $20,000. what do you make of that? >> it's not actually -- you don't have to be vaccinated to play in the nfl. i think that's been lost a little bit. and i also think the idea -- i think t

. >> aaron rodgers benched after reportedly testing positive for covid. months ago he said this. >> yeah, i've been immunized >> was the quarterback trying to mislead fans >>> prosecutors accuse him o vigilante justice. >> we've got a gun, babe yip >> seeing for the first time the shooting started. >> paid family leave gets a second chance. >> the first kids line up to get vaccinated. >>> and mcdonald's rolls out the mcplant. >>> live from cnbc, the facts. the truth. "the news with shepard smith." >> good evening. what happened to the democrats in virginia last night, that's one thing. i mean, the polls had shown terry mcauliffe might be in trouble that republicans had some momentum in the governor's race there, but in new jersey? no the sitting democrat had an 11-point lead last week in a monmouth poll. jersey was not in play except almost 24 hours after the polls closed nbc news says it is still too close to call. polls. will we ever learn the incumbent democrat phil murphy was ahead in the polls for months republican jack ciattarelli made some gains, s

yet aaron rodgers in front of the media, post-game, maskless. packers sure appear complicit in helping their star avoid any questions by allowing him to go unmasked before the media. the team fed assumptions that rodgers was, in fact, vaccinated. oh, sorry, that's a quote from you, jemele, i'm sorry. what do you make of that? it was so good. >> i love having my own words quoted back to me. it's all good. so, this is why that this is a really -- it's really hilarious to me that aaron rodgers tried to make it seem like he didn't lie. and i will say this. i think part of the reason that he did is because he didn't want to face a lot of the fire storm that he's facing now, and as much criticism that has been heaped on kyrie irving, the brooklyn nets star who was unvaccinated, not current loo playing with the nets or kirk countries, the quarterback of the minnesota vikings, he's not vaccinated as well, as much criticism as they may have received, at least they were honest. aaron rodgers was purposely due duplicitous by saying he's immunized and the p

i think that aaron rodgers is right.n and the media are trying to shame people into thinking the way they do. if you don't want to get vaccinated, you are a racist anti-vaxer which is not true. vaccines work. if you are the nfl and vaccinateded. then why should you care what aaron rodgers does with his body. >> that's a good point. this is political. i don't mean the disease itself, but the power. they want the power when it comes to the economy and society. they have been able to achieve that through covid. they find it very difficult to look at america through any other lens than what happened over the course of the past year. >> kayleigh mcenany, what is so interesting is that aaron rodgers was compliant. he made the choice not to get vaccinated due to an allergy. he said i am immunized during a presser. the nfl rules are slippery. i find it fascinating that the press and our society expects some type of total transparency about vaccination. remember when an nfl player's hand was destroyed in fireworks there were almo

and rodgers have decided to end their partnership. they added they are deep ly committed to help all eligible populations to become vaccinated against covid-19 >> thank you we'll see how far this fallout goes >> we have not heard the last of this >>> still to ce,om the new face of donald trump on "saturday night live" coming up. every night. right after dinner. definitely after meatloaf. like clockwork. do it! run your dishwasher with cascade platinum and save water. did you know an energy star certified dishwasher uses less than four gallons per cycle? while a running sink uses that, every two minutes. that means even small loads can save water. so why not do it? run your dishwasher every night with cascade platinum. the surprising way to save water. psoriatic arthritis, made my joints stiff, swollen, painful. tremfya® is approved to help reduce joint symptoms in adults with active psoriatic arthritis. some patients even felt less fatigued. serious allergic reactions may occur. tremfya® may increase your risk of infections and lower

you said rodgers will likely continue to play. he's getting a paycheck.there a double standard here? >> i think there's a double standard. rodgers is very valuable to the nfl, and he has a lot of fans, and i don't think they're going to do anything of a serious nature to discipline him. his lack of responsibility, you know, for his friends, family, team, staff, and fans that he lied to and exposed to covid-19, it shows a lack of moral character that can't be ignored. >> what do you say this -- you know, it's happened a lot with some folks, but to hear an athlete say, oh, it's cancel culture and it's the whole woke whatever, and he's blaming -- he's blaming it on that. what do you think of that, kareem? >> i think his ignorance, like i said before, his ignorance regarding the science of immunology brings back, like, old stereotypes. >> yeah. >> like the big, dumb athlete who doesn't understand what's going on in medicine. i think he's done a great job of bringing that stereotype back to people's minds, and that's not going to be a good thing. >> invoking d

rodgers tested positive for the virus and is not vaccinated. case, rodgers will not be allowed to return to the team until at least next saturday the pablgers wouldn't comment on the matter but here's what rodgers said back in august about his vaccinated. >> yeah, i've been immunized those guys on the team that haven't been vaccinated, it's a personal decision. >> he said he's beenimmunized not necessarily vaccinated against covid. they asked the packers coach about that comment listen >> do you think that might be misleading to the fans >> that's a great question for aaron. i'm not going to comment on it >> it's important to note, the nfl does not require its players to be vaccinated nor do players have to publicly declare their vaccination status, but two sources tell the wisconsin state journal aaron rodgers received an alternative treatment earlier this year to try to boost his antibody levels. the sources say rodgers thought it would give him enough protection against covid but the league considered him obviously unvaccinated aaron rodgers

now, how strict has aaron rodgers been is now an open question. and also from the packers because it's the team job to police this. they are going to see how strenuously was aaron rodgers following the protocols. he has done press conferences inside where he is not wearing a mask. is that a violation and will he be fined? all of these things will be reviewed by the nfl. . >> i was just going to ask you about the news conferences. these are things i see. he's indoors clearly unmasked there. what happens to the packers and aaron rodgers if deemed a violation? >> last year, the las vegas raiders were one team that ended up in the news a lot because of several violations. but there were plenty of others. titans, ravens. teams whether or not did not strictly follow the nfl and nfl pa covid protocols. they got health with hundreds of thousands of dollars of fines depending how egregious it is. for the packers, the consequences could actually be pretty significant. they go back and they review the press conferences if they have footage of him not wearing

there have clearly been instances of rodgers not following protocols.these are all things we're waiting to hear from the nfl. >> he clearly misled the public there and the press. do we know if he misled his teammates? what protocol wasn't he following? >> it seems as if the rest of the team knew about it. there didn't seem to be a whole lot of surprise when the news came out. the coach of the packers has been very careful to draw a line, saying that rodgers adhered to protocols in the football space. that was the term that he used today, which means in the locker rooms he apparently was wearing masks. in the hallways he was wearing masks. lefore also made it clear that press conferences where rodgers has not been wearing a mask was not his domain so it means the protocols were flouted in some way. there was also a halloween party this weekend that several packers players attended including rodgers. the nfl has a very long list of things that unvaccinated players are not allowed to koo and that halloween party would probably be among them. so the nfl has

i think it's debunked. >> aaron rodgers also brought about fertility concerns. your thoughts. >> this has been looked at over and over again. it was brought up even before the beginning of the vaccine rollout. we know that there's no effect on fertility. in fact, when you get covid, you have more problems with miscarriages and preterm births, so i think it's the opposite again rather than what was stated. >> he said obviously, he's not vaccinated but because he has covid, he's been taking ivermectin to combat this. ivermectin, is this something that's been cleared? and why do we keep asking this question? why do smart people, like aaron rodgers, a cal grad, thank treatment? >> i think i'm i'm mystified. it's a horse medicine. it's not an anti-viral, it's an anti-parasitic. we have lots of monoclonal antibodies. >> yesterday the travel ban was lifted. we have various countries, people coming in now to our local airports, could this lead to a little spike specifically in the bay area with all of our international travelers? >> i think it's going to lead to spikes,

he hates aaron rodgers. >> dagen: but you have aaron rodgers hair. >> i also hated brett favre untilcame to purple. aaron rodgers going to replace kurt cousins, any time. >> jesse: anyone can replace kurt cousins. >> if you watch the entire interview, it's really thoughtful. he breaks down the research he did, what he knew about the vaccines, allergies he had, reasons why he didn't want to take it. he went through when he called an immunization protocol which he didn't really get into the details of what that meant and he talked to the league and the packers about it so he's not someone that just dismissed the whole thing. also if you look at his comments of the last couple years, this is where i'll get a little bit critical of him, he's been happy to go along with woke groupthink in the nfl. he has been the first to fly the flag. this is another example, it's easy to go along with thorough woke mob until the mob comes for you and then pretty soon it's hate, the woke mob is after me and cancel culture. we will see what the league does. he's out for a game or two i believe. this is ye
