In a recent interview with “The Joe Rogan Experience,” NFL player Aaron Rodgers harshly attacked Big Pharma and the mainstream media (MSM).
“I was COVID MVP. I was two-time MVP during COVID,” Rodgers remarked. “They had to shut the f*ck up when it comes down to the performance… And then over time, I think a lot of people that demonized you especially the fans they realize you were right,” Rogan commented.

The quarterback wasn’t shy about criticizing the pharmaceutical industry and how it shapes public perception and public policy. “They’re literally criminal organizations that have some of the biggest criminal fines in the history of this country,” Rodgers stated.
Rodgers talked about his desire to have meaningful talks even with those who have openly attacked him, like Jimmy Kimmel. He made reference to a possible guest spot on Kimmel’s program as well as his desire to “iron out some things” in private before having a public discussion.

The Rodgers-Kimmel rivalry erupted into a media circus in January. It started with Rodgers’ remarks on the Pat McAfee Show in 2023 regarding the Epstein client list. In reaction, Kimmel portrayed Rodgers as a “overly concussed wacko,” which stoked outrage.
When Rodgers brought up Kimmel’s name on the Epstein list, rumors about the late-night presenter and other celebrities began to circulate. Kimmel took it personally and warned Rodgers that he would sue him.

The NFL player was open about the criticism he has received for his strong opinions, particularly with relation to COVID-19 and immunizations. “I have a platform. Some people want you to just shut up and throw a football, and that’s fine, but I think there has to be certain voices of reason,” Rodgers shared.
Additionally, Rodgers discussed the wider ramifications of his position, bringing up the divisive topic of the Epstein affair and the media’s portrayal of it. “Nobody watched the fcking clip, that’s why. They just saw a headline… Oh, it’s the anti-vax guy again. Let’s fcking hammer him.”
After rupturing his Achilles in Week 1 of 2023 against the Buffalo Bills, the 40-year-old quarterback hopes to make a return to the football field the following fall. He nearly made a winter comeback, but the Jets didn’t seem to be in the running at the moment.
