Howard Stern Blasts Aaron Rodgers for Lying About Vaccine Status, 'C'mon Dude, Really?'

Howard Stern on Monday criticized Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers for misleading the public about his COVID-19 vaccination status.

The radio personality's criticisms stemmed from a controversy that broke out last week over the question of whether Rodgers, who recently tested positive for COVID-19, was vaccinated after he previously told reporters he had been "immunized."

"This f**king guy—I don't watch football, sorry. I'm not a big fan. I know the guy's a real good football player—that's why they put up with his bulls**t," Stern said during his Monday show.

"If there was decency in this world, you know, I would throw this guy out of the football league so fast," Stern continued.

Stern went on to say he believed the NFL should "throw" both Rodgers and former Las Vegas Raiders player Henry Ruggs III out of the league. Ruggs was released by the Raiders last week after he was suspected of DUI following a fatal car crash.

"Aaron Rodgers. C'mon dude, really? You know, that whole bullshit game, 'Yeah, I had the antibodies.' Now, first of all, I don't know where these guys get their information from," Stern said.

Rodgers said last week he had previously received virus-related advice from podcaster Joe Rogan.

"You got doctors who study in medical school. I don't know what has happened to this country," Stern said.

Newsweek reached out to the NFL for comment and will update this article with any response.
