Aaron Rodgers Teams Up With Billionaire Elon Musk and Andrew Tate as NFL Star Slams Peter Hotez Over Joe Rogan Debate Challenge

Aaron Rodgers, known for his throwing arm and controversial statements, has once again found himself embroiled in an online conflict. In a now-deleted Instagram story, Rodgers took aim at renowned vaccine expert Dr. Peter Hotez, catching many by surprise. Rodgers, a vocal skeptic of the Covid-19 vaccine, has publicly expressed his support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential bid. Dr. Hotez, an advocate for Covid-19 vaccination, has been critical of Joe Rogan for promoting Kennedy’s vaccine views on his immensely popular podcast.

The ongoing debate above has been a familiar topic among JRE enthusiasts. It has also drawn comments from people like Elon Musk and Andrew Tate. However, Rodgers’s unexpected entry into the ring has stirred further interest.

On Tuesday, Rodgers posted a reel on his Instagram story featuring Dr. Hotez’s previous appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) podcast, accompanied by a caption that read, “@robertfkennedyjr would mop this b*m.” Although the story has since been deleted, it was captured and shared in a Sports Illustrated article, prompting a response from Dr. Hotez.

Dr. Hotez expressed his disappointment on Twitter, mentioning that he was disappointed by the cheap shot directed at him. He emphasized the severity of the situation in 2021, highlighting the high number of daily American deaths, with over 80% of them being among the unvaccinated population.

He also criticized Aaron Rodgers for his public anti-vaccine stance while emphasizing the effectiveness of vaccines, which were reportedly 90% protective against death and serious illness.

Dr. Hotez further elaborated, emphasizing the importance of speaking out in an effort to save lives during the challenging times of the delta variant.

Rodgers and Dr. Hotez have engaged in previous exchanges. In 2021, when Rodgers faced scrutiny for being unvaccinated, Dr. Hotez appeared on CNN, criticizing him for endorsing false cures and extremist views promoted by Joe Rogan and others.

The JRE podcast has become a prominent platform for online discussions on these topics, often generating significant discourse.

These recent events have unfolded in the context of Joe Rogan’s invitation for Dr. Hotez and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to engage in a public debate on vaccines on his podcast. Evidently, Rogan, along with others, has pledged a combined total of $2 million to a charity of Dr. Hotez’s choice if he agrees to participate in the debate.

Some of the contributors to the debate pool have been influential figures like Elon Musk and Andrew Tate. Andrew Tate offered to contribute an additional 500k to the debate. Tate also commented that those who are now anti-vax were initially fearful of Covid-19 and even ended up getting vaccinated. Elon Musk believes that Dr.Hotez is avoiding a public debate because he knows he is incorrect.

In response to Rogan’s offer, Dr. Hotez criticized the proposal, questioning its seriousness and likening it to something thrown for hunting buddies. He suggested a $50 million endowment from Rogan, Spotify, and RFK Jr, not for himself but to support the production of affordable patent-free vaccines for underprivileged populations worldwide.

As fans of the podcast eagerly await the outcome, it remains to be seen whether a public debate will take place.
The tension between these individuals highlights the divisive nature of the vaccine debate. As well as the clash of opinions within influential circles.
