The vaccination spat between Aaron Rodgers and Travis Kelce is entering its next round: the currently injured New York Jets quarterback has now challenged the Kansas City Chiefs star to a public discussion.

Unfortunately, Aaron Rodgers and Travis Kelce will not be able to face each other on the field this season due to Rodgers’ Achilles tendon tear. But maybe there will be a showdown between the two NFL stars at least in a podcast. At least that is what Rodgers has now called for.

Background: Kelce’s vaccination taunts against the avowed anti-vaccinationist and esoteric Rodgers, saying that the quarterback, despite his convictions, plays for a team owned by the heir to the pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson.

The owner of the New York Jets is Woody Johnson, great-grandson of one of the company’s founders. Kelce jokingly called Rodgers “Mr. Johnson & Johnson” after the latter had previously referred to him as “Mr. Pfizer” over a commercial for a Corona vaccination using a Pfizer vaccine.

Now Rodgers followed up on the Pat McAfee Show: “There’s a lot of propaganda out there. Mr Pfizer thinks he’s in a vaccine war with me. It’s not a war, mate, it’s a conversation. But if you want some kind of duel, come on the podcast and let’s debate!”

Rodgers continued, “Let’s do it like in John Wick 4. We both have an aide. I’ll have Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and he can have Tony Fauci or any other ‘pharmacrat.'”

Aaron Rodgers: Pfizer a “corrupt company “

Conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is nephew of former US President John F. Kennedy and wants to run as an independent candidate in the 2024 US presidential election.

The immunologist Anthony Fauci was a medical advisor to various US presidents for many years – including during the Corona pandemic – but resigned from this post at the end of 2022.

On being told that Rodgers himself collects his salary from a man who became a billionaire as a Johnson &-Johnson heir, the 39-year-old went into attack mode, denigrating Pfizer as “corrupt”. “The Johnsons have been great to me. But I don’t play for Johnson & Johnson, I play for the New York Jets,” Rodgers said. “I was just making a little joke about a guy who was promoting a corrupt company. “
