Aaron Rodgers doesn’t shy away from making vaccine jokes, even though vaccines play a crucial role in public health, which can make his jokes rather cringe-worthy.
During a recent appearance on ‘The Pat McAfee Show,’ Aaron Rodgers made a wisecrack about vaccines, momentarily causing a disruption in the ESPN feed. While apologizing to the show’s hosts, Pat McAfee and AJ Hawk, for not wearing a Halloween costume during the episode, the conversation naturally veered towards the topic of vaccines.

“I had my costume on last night but I couldn’t wear it today,” Rodgers remarked.
McAfee inquired about the nature of the costume, suggesting it could have been a vaccine, a doctor, or a scientist. However, Rodgers claimed it was a spike protein and was about to delve into a comment regarding vaccines when, mysteriously, the feed was cut off.
Certain social media users speculated that ESPN intentionally cut the feed due to Rodgers discussing vaccines. However, it was later revealed that the interruption was specific to one cable provider, disproving the theory that ESPN had deliberately cut Rodgers off.
Rodgers’ penchant for vaccine-related humor has become a notable part of his persona, even though it’s a rather contentious and sensitive topic. It’s a characteristic that remains in line with his public image.
