Speaking recently on the ‘I Can Fly’ podcast, Rodgers said he was “excited” about his return to the field.

“And all they found was AZT.”
“And if you do even a modicum of research – and I know, I’m not an epidemiologist, I’m not a doctor, I’m not an immunologist, whatever – I can read, though. And I can learn and research things like any normal person. I can do my own research, which is so vilified, even to question authority,” Rodgers then emphasized.
The former Super Bowl champion then linked Fauci’s past controversies to the US government’s response to the coronavirus, which has been blamed for more than a million deaths in America.
“But that was the game plan back then: create an environment where only one thing works. At the time, AZT. NOW? Remdesivir,” Rodgers said without backing down, referring to the antiviral drug created in the wake of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
