Howard Stern isn't holding back against Aaron Rodgers.

The radio host went off on Rodgers after the Green Bay Packers quarterback contracted COVID-19 and was revealed to not be vaccinated against the coronavirus, despite implying in an interview he was. Stern said he was "so worked up" over this situation before laying into "this f---ing guy." While Stern suggested the NFL puts up with "his bulls--t" because he's a "real good football player," he argued Rodgers would be thrown out of the league "if there was decency in this world" because of "what he did to his fellow teammates."

Rodgers was asked in an interview earlier this year if he's been vaccinated against COVID-19, to which he responded, "Yeah, I've been immunized." But he confirmed this week he hasn't received a COVID-19 vaccine. Instead, Rodgers "received homeopathic treatment from his personal doctor," NFL.com reports. In a Friday interview on the The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers complained he was being targeted by the "woke mob" for his stance on vaccines, quoting Martin Luther King Jr. to defend his decision not to get vaccinated while suggesting he was concerned the vaccines could cause fertility issues. There is no evidence of this, the CDC has said.
