Chiefs’ Travis Kelce responds to Pfizer COVID vaccine comment by Jets QB Aaron Rodgers

Travis Kelce had a response for injured New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who called the Kansas City Chiefs tight end “Mr. Pfizer” earlier this week.

“Who knew I’d get into the vax wars with Aaron Rodgers?” Kelce said

Rodgers gave Kelce the nickname during his weekly appearance on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show.” He was discussing the Chiefs’ victory over Rodgers’ Jets on Sunday Night Football.

Kelce has partnered with the pharmaceutical company to promote its COVID-10 and flu vaccines in commercials.

“I got (the vaccine), keeping myself safe, keeping my family safe, the people in this building,” Kelce said. “Yes, I stand by it, 1,000 percent. I’m fully comfortable with him calling me Mr. Pfizer.”

Rodgers, the former Green Bay Packers star and key Jets offseason signing, tore an Achillies tendon on his first series of the season and is expected to miss the rest of the year.

Rodgers has been critical of the COVID-19 vaccine in the past. In 2021, while playing for the Packers, he said he had been immunized ... only for it to be revealed later that he wasn’t. He missed a game after testing positive for COVID-19.
