The Jets were facing off against the Browns
Former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick complied on Thursday night with Aaron Rodgers’ request made to media personnel, revealing his vaccination status to the New York Jets quarterback before commencing an interview.
During the Amazon Prime Video NFL panel interview with Rodgers while he was observing his team warm up before their game against the Cleveland Browns, Fitzpatrick greeted Rodgers and reintroduced himself.
“Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Fitzpatrick, class of 2005, how are you? Twice vaccinated,” Fitzpatrick said.
“It’s the same old thing. It’s the same people with the same comments,” Rodgers said. “I think what we should do, Pat, is, the same people who were criticizing me or coming up with these conspiracies about my injury or whatever, before they talk, let’s go back to 2021 and let’s make people say their vax status to start.
“That’ll frame all these comments in the right window. Before they say something, let’s have them say — and ESPN is probably going to shut us off here — let’s have them say, ‘Hey, I’m so-and-so, double vaxxed with Pfizer and triple boosted, and my opinion is this guy is a bad guy because he just wanted to practice and took money away.’
“Then, at least, then you’d know, and everybody would know at that point they have their puppet masters who are puppeteering them to say this certain thing about this guy. And they’re still upset about the fact that I believe in medical freedom. It’s the same tired narrative.”
Rodgers summarized how his season has transpired despite missing nearly all of it due to a torn Achilles.
“It’s been one big giant learning experience. Tough. I’ve worked my a– off to get back. Been really blessed to be around some great people in the rehab process,” he said. “An incredible doctor. It’s been nice to be back around the team the last month or so.
“Obviously, it isn’t easy for so many of us. Proud of the guys for sticking together. We’ve dealt with our share of injuries on both sides of the ball. Mostly on offense. But that’s the way the season goes. The NFL is an incredible, incredible profession. It’s a tough business, and this year’s been a big learning experience for me and, I think, our entire team.”
