Aaron Rodgers' Decision to Not Get Vaccinated May Cost Him His 4th MVP Award

• https://fee.org, Jon Miltimore

On paper, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers looks like a shoe-in to win the NFL's coveted MVP award, which would be Rodgers' fourth, putting him second only to Peyton Manning, who claimed the honor five times.

Rodgers has the highest QBR in football, as well as the highest passer rating. He has thrown 35 TDs and just 4 interceptions, and the Packers (13-3) have sewn up the #1 seed in the NFC.

One writer, however, recently said he'll not be voting for Rodgers—not because of his play on the field, but for a decision he made off the field.

'The Biggest Jerk in the League'

As many know, Rodgers missed the Packers' week nine game against the Chiefs when he contracted COVID-19, a game they lost 13-7.

Following his positive test, it was revealed that Rodgers was not vaccinated, despite earlier claims he had been "immunized." Rodgers soon acknowledged he misled people, something he took "full responsibility" for.

"I misled some people about my status, which I've taken full responsibility [for]," Rodgers said on The Pat McAfee Show. "But in the end, I have to stay true to who I am and what I'm about, and I stand behind the things that I said."
