During the COVID-19 pandemic, Rodgers sparked outrage by misleading the public about his vaccination status, referring to himself as “immunized.” These comments led to widespread criticism, as many felt he wasn’t taking the virus as seriously as he should have.

“If there’s one thing I wish could have gone different, it’s that,” Rodgers said, per ESPN, talking about his comments on the coronavirus, “because that’s the only thing [critics] could hit me with.”

While the NFL didn’t require players to be vaccinated, those who chose not to were subject to strict protocols, including masking, surveillance, and frequent COVID testing. Rodgers later stated that he would have refused to comply with a vaccination mandate if one had been implemented, further fueling the controversy.
