We go back to November of 2021. This is where Jimmy Kimmel called Aaron Rodgers out on his show, looking back at an interview between Aaron and Pat McAfee. Kimmel took exception to Rodgers' thoughts about the vaccine, particularly that he was taking advice from Joe Rogan.
Kimmel said at the time, “Pat’s covering his mouth trying not to laugh. So corny Aaron Rodgers…one of the things Joe Rogan recommended was ivermectin. Here’s the thing I don’t get. You won’t take the vaccine but you will take ivermectin? You know, good old ivermectin…that’s a product I can trust.”
Kimmel continues, "You didn’t object. You pretended you were vaccinated and snuck around. Always a good move for a white millionaire to half-quote Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., by the way.”
"People are also comparing Aaron Rodgers to Kyrie Irving and that’s not fair. Kyrie Irving is wrong, but at least he’s honest. Aaron Rodgers let everyone around him think he was vaccinated when he wasn’t. He’s not Kyrie Irving. He’s Bernie Madoff.”
The Jimmy Kimmel Live moment was viewed by 1.3 million people, and fans had a lot to say. However, among the near 3,000 comments was an interesting one posted 9 months ago. The person basically predicted what was to come.
