Aaron Rodgers Chooses Side in Controversial Joe Rogan Show Debate Clash
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has stepped into a social media clash with Dr. Peter Hotez, taking a clear side in the ongoing debate surrounding Joe Rogan’s recent podcast episode featuring Robert F. Kennedy Jr., known for his anti-vaccine views.
The exchange started when Dr. Hotez, a vocal advocate for COVID-19 vaccines, criticized Rogan for hosting Kennedy on his show. Amidst the controversy, Rodgers made his stance apparent, aligning himself with Rogan and Kennedy in this debate.
On Tuesday, the revered four-time MVP shared a video clip of Dr. Hotez acknowledging that he isn’t as “cautious” with his diet as he should be. In response, Rodgers accompanied the video with a pointed comment: “@robertfkennedyjr would mop this bum.”

Dr. Hotez promptly took to Twitter to express his disappointment with Rodgers’ “cheap shot.” He highlighted that in 2021, when the Delta variant was ravaging the nation with a daily death toll of 2,000 Americans, over 80% of the victims were unvaccinated. Hotez had previously criticized Rodgers for his public anti-vaccine stance.
Disappointed he took a cheap shot vs me this wk. In 2021 during our awful delta wave we were losing 2,000 Americans/day, >80% among unvaccinated, when vaccines were 90% protective vs death/serious illness, I criticized him for his public antivaccine stance https://t.co/ov1EMPvPU2

Meanwhile, Kennedy and Rogan have already engaged in a war of words with Dr. Hotez in the past few days, adding fuel to the heated exchange.
As the confrontation unfolds, it remains to be seen if Rodgers will respond to Dr. Hotez’s tweet or if the debate will take further twists and turns in the days ahead.
