Aaron Rodgers loses endorsement deal after admitting he didn’t get COVID vaccine

The fallout from Aaron Rodgers testing positive for COVID-19 after previously saying he was immunized after declining the vaccine has cost the Packers quarterback a sponsorship.

It was a personal decision by Aaron Rodgers to not get the COVID-19 vaccine. It’s not one that hasn’t cost the Green Bay Packers quarterback, however.

Rodgers will miss this Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs after testing positive. His teammates will try to win with Jordan Love making his first career start. It’s a game that could cost the Packers home-field advantage and a first-round bye in the playoffs.

But that was his personal decision to make at the risk of costing his teammates, coaches and fans.

Now, the fallout from his personal decision has cost him his partnership with Prevea Health.

The organization said in a statement their relationship was terminated on Nov. 6. It began in 2012 with Rodgers serving as a spokesperson and supporting the health care organization’s wellness campaigns.

Prevea’s statement says they are committed to those against COVID-19, including recommending people get vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Aaron Rogers caused an uproar over his comments about the vaccine

Rodgers went on the Pat McAfee Show on Friday to say he consulted with Joe Rogan before taking alternate methods to immunize himself from the coronavirus. He said he is taking Ivermectin and monoclonal antibodies. He said he was not anti-vax or a flat-earther but also compared himself to Martin Luther King, Jr. for standing up to what he thought was an injustice.

The NFLPA collectively bargained the COVID protocols and guidelines that Rodgers skirted. He is free to make the decision to not get the vaccine but that doesn’t mean he’s free of the consequences.

Rodgers may miss a second game as a result of his positive COVID test and there may be more sponsors that decide to drop him as a client as a result of this ordeal.
