From Statefarm:
"Aaron Rodgers has been a great ambassador for our company for much of the past decade," a State Farm spokesperson told USA Today. "We don't support some of the statements that he has made, but we respect his right to have his own personal point of view. We recognize our customers, employees, agents and brand ambassadors come from all walks of life, with differing viewpoints on many issues.
"Our mission at State Farm is to support safer, stronger communities. To that end, we encourage vaccinations, but respect everyone's right to make a choice based on their personal circumstances."

This could have been handled so much better. Rodgers says he didn't lie but he did mislead with the "I'm immunized" comment. Why not say, at that time, "I'm allergic to an ingredient in the MRNA vaccines and I'm going to follow the protocol for unvaccinated people"?
He thinks he's above everyone.Comment

Felt, have you ever listened to Rogan?
I think you'd agree that people that trash Chappelle without watching the special(s) are silly, right? And I think that's the same way people that reflexively trash Rogan come across.
Rogan isn't gospel truth. Anyone who takes anyone's word as gospel is basically in a cult IMO.
But I think he's the most honest interviewer we have available. Which is a pretty damming indictment of the "main stream" media... Even though Rogan's popularity makes him far more mainstream than CNN, Fox, or MSNBC.
Basically, I think it's really hard to be full of **** when you have unscripted, public 3 hour conversations all the time.
Imagine any big network talking head trying to do that while toeing the company line. Chris Cuomo? Gupta said he'd never had a conversation that long. Carlson or Madow admitting they were wrong about anything (which Rogan does fairly regularly).
Re Vaccines, he recently had Rhonda Patrick on (again) and she was telling him all the reasons he should get vaccinated. No network allows that kind of "wrongspeak" for their brand without a panel of 5 faux-experts ready to shout down the infidel.
And he's willing (and interested) to have discussions about stuff that's important, but hard to talk about. Just like Chapelle.
He's curious about an insanely wide range of issues. So some of his episodes appeal to just about anyone whose willing to listen.
And he's pretty far left on most things (e.g. Endorsed Bernie).
And his comments about trying to use this pandemic as a wake up call to try to get healthy are 100% on point. Whether or not people agree with his idea that otherwise healthy people will probably be fine if they get sick... Which is statistically true even if most of us don't want to run the experiment (which is reasonable IMO).
Who was more honest about ivermectin? JR or CNN and company? Horse medication, or Nobel Peace Prize winning medicine? Even though I disagree about its effectiveness, his doctor prescribed it to him.
But people that follow CNN as gospel never know the truth about it, just like with Chapelle. They think a guy that just signed a $100M deal with Spotify was taking vet medicine.
I wonder if Gupta going on was kind of like when Red Hot Chilli Peppers played the SB. Maybe he wanted to show how the emperor had no clothes?
Like how when little Cuomo said his job was soul-sucking BS.
Aside: Fluvoximine (sp?) actually looks like it might do what people hope / think ivermectin and HCQ did per randomized control testing (where other off brand drugs have failed). I don't know if this was in the wide array of drugs Rogan's doctor prescribed to him. But I'll ask my doctor about taking this if I'm unlucky enough to get a symptomatic case (or someone I love is in the same situation).

Terry Bradshaw calls Rodgers a liar, which he is:

But that's exactly it.
Rogan doesn't act like he's an expert in anything but comedy and martial arts (which I don't care about).
He let's the people he interviews talk. And he listens and asks questions.
And if you want to see someone I think he exposed as kind of an empty shell, check out the interview with Candice Owens a while back.
You could tell that she was awesome at the 5 second sound bytes. But hadn't really thought much about the things she was saying.
Because the current system glorifies those kind of people who keep shouting empty rhetoric louder and louder.Comment
