Nothing is off-limits in the realm of stand-up comedy. Such is the case in “Aziz Ansari: Nightclub Comedian,” where the “Parks and Recreation” star takes aim at NFL veteran Aaron Rodgers for his vaccination comments. Commenting on the Green Bay Packers quarterback, Ansari said, “People hate that guy … it’s like, alright, calm down. He’s a football player. He read some articles, he got skeptical, he did some research — are you stunned he came to the wrong conclusion?” The comic then likened the situation to being “in high school and we’re making fun of the quarterback for doing bad on the science test.”
Ansari also pointed out that Rodgers “makes a living getting hit in the head.” Despite such, the comedian made it a point to note, “I don’t think he’s an idiot, though … I just think they’re trapped in a different algorithm.” Ansari’s comments come after Rodgers claimed he was “immunized” against COVID-19, and that he has partaken in ivermectin treatments, per NBC News.
Rodgers also noted on “The Pat McAfee Show” (via NBC News) that he’s a “critical thinker” — a point which Ansari mocked. The quarterback also lambasted “woke culture” surrounding the vaccine. Upon taking ivermectin, an animal dewormer, Rodgers said, “I consulted with a now good friend of mine Joe Rogan, after he got Covid, and I’ve been doing a lot of stuff that he recommended.”
