Rodgers, who is unvaccinated, said during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" last week that he was allergic to unspecified ingredients in the mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna and opted not to get the Johnson & Johnson shot after hearing of patients experiencing an adverse reaction to it. Rodgers also had questions about whether the vaccinates would impact fertility.
The athlete lost a sponsorship with Prevea Health, but State Farm stood by the quarterback's decision to not get vaccinated and the advertiser said it respects "everyone's right to make a choice based on their personal circumstances."
On Thursday, Ed Rodgers, the athlete's father, came out in "proud" support and slammed "haters" accusing his son of misleading the public. "I'm proud of him. I trust his judgment and decisions. I think that's what I would've done," he said.
