New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers made headlines yesterday by calling Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce “Mr. Pfizer,” referring to his recent commercial for the pharmaceutical giant and COVID vaccine manufacturer.

“Our defense played well, and Pat didn’t have a crazy game, and Mr. Pfizer—we kinda shut him down a little bit, he didn’t have a crazy impact on the game,” he said during his an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.

He was referring to a recent Jets’ loss to the Chiefs, which was the second game in a row that Kelce’s new girlfriend Taylor Swift attended to show support.
Rodgers returned to his comment when McAfee asked him if he had been planning to use that nickname for awhile. “Nah, I mean, he’s doing commercials for Pfizer, so I’m sure he’s owning it.”
"I've known Travis Kelce for a long time and we had a great chat..
Got to have a quick chat with Mahomes about how every time we're supposed to play each other it doesn't happen" ~ @AaronRodgers12 #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/9WvtYzKrsZ

Rodgers has been a target of media outlets ever since he admitted he was not vaccinated in 2021. He has defended his decision not get vaccinated since then.
Earlier this year on the Pat McAfee show, Rodgers said, “There’s heroes and villains in sports and entertainment, and I think, because of my stance on COVID and maybe some other things, I’ve been cast as the villain.”
He went on: “This woke culture wants to be offended by everything. You just go online and find something you don’t agree with. ‘I’m offended! How can you possibly say that?’ I don’t really care. I don’t care who it’s coming from or who said it.”
In May, Rodgers paid a visit to presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vociferous critic of Big Pharma and former NIAID Director and COVID-19 Response Team leader Anthony Fauci.
