Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton has come forward to support Aaron Rodgers’ claim that some NFL players, coaches, and executives used fake COVID-19 vaccine cards to bypass the league’s COVID-19 protocols. Newton stated on his podcast that he knew multiple people in the locker room who did not get the COVID shot but instead purchased fake vaccination cards.
COVID Protocols in the NFL
In 2021, the NFL implemented strict COVID-19 protocols, requiring all team employees to get vaccinated or undergo daily testing and wear masks in team facilities. However, according to Newton and Rodgers, some individuals found ways to circumvent these rules by obtaining fake vaccine cards.
Rodgers had previously spoken out about the issue, describing the situation as ‘crazy’ and stating that he saw some vaccine cards that appeared to be fake. Newton’s comments have added weight to Rodgers’ claims, suggesting that the use of fake vaccine cards may have been more widespread than initially thought.
