rejected.content: Aaron Rodgers stated that he was immunized against COVID because it was something that he had always been proactive about. He stated that he has always prioritized being up-to-date on his vaccinations and assumed that the flu shot he got each year provided him with protection from COVID. While it's impossible to confirm whether or not he actually received the vaccine he was claimed to have gotten, it is likely that his belief that the flu shot provided protection against COVID was based on false information. The flu shot does not provide protection against COVID and so it appears that Rodgers was simply mistaken about having been vaccinated.
