Aaron Rodgers’ Covid-19 case is a failure of leadership that won’t be forgotten

After being coy about his vaccination status for months, the Green Bay star quarterback is set to miss time after contracting Covid and appears to have been breaking protocol for months

Aaron Rodgers may be a lot of things but stupid he is not. A noted bookworm and fill-in Jeopardy host, Rodgers of all people is keenly aware that words matter. In hindsight this explains why back in August when he was asked about his vaccination status by a reporter, he replied with a cryptic: I've been immunized."

If you're like me, you thought Rodgers' response was him being him - eccentric with maybe a touch of arrogance - but you assumed immunized equaled vaccinated.
