What gives you the impression that he might be allergic to an ingredient in the vaccine?
First off, being allergic to one vaccine doesn't necessarily mean that you're allergic to all 3 of them. Secondly, if he actually is allergic to a vaccine component, a medical exemption is easy to get, just have your doctor sign a form. And lastly, why go to all the trouble of getting an exemption via an alternative treatment if he could get a medical exemption?
Because he said that in the article from the op... i'm not an expert on vaccines i dont know what's in them for all i know all three of them could have that 1 ingredient he claims to be allergic too.. i'm not sticking up for Rodgers other than i wouldn't put my self at risk if i felt that the vaccine would harm me...surely the corporations that make the vaccines are not liable... So i can see why he would have reservation... maybe he is lying for all i know?

The whole reason the Packers are in this quandry, is because they knowingly trotted this dipsh*t out there, and didn't give a crap about doing right by everyone he'd come into contact with, they should be FINED, & Rodgers, SUSPENDED.
Hell, the powers that be in the NFL, suspended NOLA Coach Payton, & took away a Draft pick. :17:
The vaccinated are still spreading Covid, you have been lied to, the vax does not stop the spread and it has injured and killed far more than is being reported. Over 10,000 cases of Palsy just here in America alone. I watched a video of a 23 year female who got the double jab and now has uncontrollable body movements because she thought she was doing the right thing to protect others. If Aaron doesn’t want to take the vax, that is his right.

There are DIFFERENCES between Moderna, Pfizer, and J&J, I doubt he even inquired about their differences, or their ingredients, he just gave a generic (BS) response, by saying that he was allergic, which is probably another LIE.
I get it, AR like millions of others, are wussies, and are scared of needles, that outright refuse to do their share of helping to eliminate the devastation the COVID-19 spreading.

He'd have a shot at playing this Sunday whereas he can't now. Forget all of the medical nonsense. He's potentially costing his team wins. There's a chance he sits 2 games.

As of the end of September, the efficacy of the Moderna vaccine dropped to 58%, Pfizer to 45%, so if Rodgers had gotten the shot back in April, it would have been a toss up as to whether or not he would have acquired Covid. It's now about the same efficacy as the annual flu shot.
But how better he'd be off really isn't the question we should be asking. Rodgers is relatively young and healthy so even without the vaccine, he'd be very unlikely to end up in the hospital with Covid. The question is how much safer would those around him be had he gotten the shot, and the answer is the same. 50% less likely to catch it means that he's 50% less likely to spread it.

And even among young elite athletes, being vaccinated significantly reduces the odds of a severe infection or unusual complication.

The reason I omitted the fact that a vaccinated individual is much less likely to be hospitalized or die of Covid is because it's not relevant to Rodgers in this situation. He's relatively young, healthy, and not at risk so the chances with or without the vaccine of hospitalization or death are very small. What matters here is his ability to spread the disease to others in which avoiding infection is a key factor in preventing the spread of the disease.

Agreed. You've essentially made the same point I did in my response to your statement about hospitalization and deaths.

Almost certainly true but we haven't seen much data on the efficacy of booster shots yet.

Big deal, we're talking about 2 wins in a game that is played by grown men and watched by fans who have nothing better to do that idolize athletes because they could never amount to these abilities themselves. I'll take Aaron Rodgers' right to choose for his own self and body than 2 wins anytime. If Russell was in the same shoes, I'd feel the same way- even if it cost us 10 wins. It's his choice, not ours, and I respect that. It would be nice if others could to, but as the U.S. devolves and becomes more "woke" and wants their freedom to choose and think for themselves taken away, I don't know if we'll ever return to that same world- and that is a scary thought. Maybe if social media disappeared one day, but then what would people do with their lives? Go outside? Be nice to each other for once? Allow others to have different opinions? I don't know, but that would sure be a nice world to live in again.

Because it's nobody's business. I've been asked a few times if I was... I lied and said yes.. and got the "ok" response.
