AceShowbiz - Shailene Woodley has seemingly reacted to controversy involving Aaron Rodgers' COVID diagnosis and his vaccination status. Taking to her social media platform, the "Divergent" actress shared a cryptic post.
On Friday, November 5, the fiancee of the NFL star shared a since-deleted quote on her Instagram Story. The cryptic post read, "Calm seas may bring you peace, but storms are where you'll find your power." Her social media post came after her soon-to-be husband claimed that he "didn't lie" about his vaccination status after testing positive for COVID-19.
In his first public comments, Aaron explained why he told the news media in August that he was "immunized" and why he's not vaccinated. "I am somebody who's a critical thinker. I believe strongly in bodily autonomy and the ability to make choices for your body," the three-time MVP said during the "Pat McAfee Show" on Friday.
"I am not a COVID-denier or any like that," Aaron further stressed. "I just wanted to make the best choice for my body." The Green Bay Packers quarterback went on to say that he has been tested daily per NFL protocol. He also shared that he's "in the cross hairs of the woke mob right now."
Aaron added, "So, before my final nail gets put in my cancel culture casket, I'd like to set the record straight on so many of the blatant lies out there." The 37-year-old athlete pointed out, "I tested for COVID over 300 times before testing for possible positive and I probably got it from a vaccinated player."
Aaron also said he consulted with his friend Joe Rogan and unveiled that he's currently taking ivermectin, a medicine that is generally used to treat threadworms, roundworms and other parasites. That medicine, however, is not approved for use in battling COVID by the Food and Drug Administration. "The specific protocol, I am going to keep between me and my doctors," he said.
Aaron was placed on the NFL's reserve/COVID-19 list and will not play the game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, November 5. The team's head coach, Matt LaFleur, stated during a press conference on November 3 that Aaron "won't be available this week" and that backup Jordan Love will replace him.
