New York Jets star Aaron Rodgers would've been more straightforward about his COVID-19 vaccination status in 2021 if he could relive the moment again.
Rodgers famously told reporters he was "immunized" against COVID, which some took to mean he had gotten the vaccine. In an upcoming book by Ian O'Connor, he expressed regret at not relaying his true stance.
"If there's one thing I wish could have gone different, it's that, because that's the only thing [critics] could hit me with," he said (via ESPN).
Rodgers lamented how much he was focused on his appeal to the NFL to be considered vaccinated under the league's guidelines.
