Rodgers has openly criticized Big Pharma's substantial financial investments in advertising, alleging it as a tool to manipulate mainstream media messaging. Additionally, he holds the belief that the global pandemic of 2020 was orchestrated for a myriad of ulterior motives.
In a recent development, the New York Jets quarterback made an appearance on a podcast catering to "red-pilled" individuals, including martial arts stars, comedians, musicians, and conspiracy theorists.
During his podcast appearance, Rodgers made several startling assertions, none more controversial than his claim that the government engineered the HIV virus.
"The blueprint was devised in the 80s," Rodgers asserted on the Look Into It podcast. "They manufactured a pandemic, unleashed a rampant virus. Fauci received over $350 million to develop drugs, new or repurposed, to combat the AIDS crisis. Yet, all they produced was AZT. Through even the slightest scrutiny�though I'm no epidemiologist, doctor, or immunologist�I can discern and research, like any ordinary person. I can question authority and conduct my investigations, despite it being vilified."
He went on to suggest that the HIV crisis in the 1980s was orchestrated by the U.S. government to promote a single solution, namely AZT, and drew parallels to the current reliance on Remdesivir until the advent of a vaccine. Rodgers also raised suspicions about Dr. Fauci's involvement with the Moderna vaccine and criticized Pfizer's history of corruption.
Rodgers has consistently voiced skepticism towards COVID-19, recalling an incident where an NFL doctor purportedly informed him that vaccinated individuals couldn't contract or transmit the virus.
His public stance against COVID-19 vaccines gained attention when he claimed to be "immunized" during a 2021 press conference, only to test positive for COVID-19 later that year, revealing he hadn't received the vaccine. He found support in figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent U.S. presidential candidate.
Undeterred by potential backlash, Rodgers remains resolute in his newfound convictions, echoing his past defiance towards dissenting opinions.
