State Farm Insurance, along with other corporations, has taken steps to distance itself from the now-toxic non-vaxxer and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Daily Caller reported.
Soon after testing positive for COVID, Rodgers appeared on the Pat McAfee show, speaking extensively about his views on the vaccine and justifying his support for those who oppose the mandate.
“I realize I’m in the crosshairs of the woke mob right now, so before my final nail gets put in my cancel-culture casket, I think I’d like to set the record straight on some of the blatant lies that are out there about myself right now,” Rodgers said before defending himself from media slander.
“I believe strongly in bodily autonomy and the ability to make choices for your body, not to have to acquiesce to some woke culture or crazed group of individuals who say you have to do something,” Rodgers added. “Health is not a one-size-fits-all for everybody.”
Since the drama began, Rodgers’ appearances on State Farm commercials dropped to only 25%, reaching a new low of 1.5% this last Sunday — numbers which suggest that the insurance giant has decided to distance itself from him.
But State Farm was not the only big corporation to severe ties with the reigning NFL MVP. Prevea Health, who had previously partnered with Rodgers, released a press statement officially parting ways.
According to the statement “Prevea Health and Aaron Rodgers have made the decision to end their partnership effective November 6, 2021” for failing to help “all eligible populations to become vaccinated against COVID-19 to prevent the virus from further significantly impacting lives and livelihoods.”

On the McAfee show, Rodgers also aligned himself with notorious anti-vaxxer Joe Rogan, suggesting that the mandates push the latest authoritative science.
