The hockey player wrote: “I stand with @aaronrodgers12. I believe in the freedom to choose what is in our body and the freedom of conscience. I agree with him because science clearly shows that vaccinated COVID spreads at basically the same speed as People who have not been vaccinated.

“@Nhl @nfl and other leagues ignore science and choose to use these restrictions to coerce and punish unvaccinated players. If they really care about people’s health, they will test everyone every day.

“But the past two years have clearly told us that this has nothing to do with our health, but about the control of our lives. I will not support it. Now is the time to fight for our medical freedom, and I am fired for those who have been fired. Of people feel sad to choose medical care freely.

“I’m not some kind of anti-vax, flat earth,” he said. “I firmly believe in the autonomy of the body and the ability to make choices for your body, rather than having to acquiesce in a certain awakening culture or those crazy people who say you have to do something.”

He said he avoided Pfizer And Moderna vaccine, because he is allergic to one of them, and he cited the reasons why he is afraid of forming blood clots because he does not want the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Athlete, he said he followed most people National Football LeagueThe rules for unvaccinated players, not wearing masks at press conferences, and participating in Halloween parties without wearing masks-both of which violate the rules of the league.

“Some rules have no scientific basis at all,” Rogers said. “They are purely to make people feel ashamed.”

“The great MLK said,’You have a moral obligation to oppose unjust rules and meaningless rules,'” he added, relaying Martin Luther King Jr.
