    New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers took another swipe at Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday amid a discussion about how long his football injury would sideline him following speculation that his rehab could be ahead of schedule.

    During Rodgers's weekly appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," he was asked about footage showing him throwing a few passes without crutches after he tore his Achilles tendon in the first game of the season.

    Rodgers said he tried "a newer, innovative" surgery to return faster than others who sustained a similar injury.

    Co-host AJ Hawk said that Rodgers does things "his own way," to which McAfee replied, "This guy does things his own way. He actually defies science."

    "If science is Dr. Fauci, you're damn right I'm defying science," Rodgers replied, as the hosts laughed.

    Last week, Rodgers labeled Fauci a "pharmocrat" and threw down the gauntlet for a "duel" or vaccine debate to Chiefs' player Travis Kelce, who he's nicknamed "Mr. Pfizer" after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end appeared in a Pfizer ad campaign.

    On the podcast last week, the hosts talked to Rodgers about Kelce's recent comment about getting "into the vax wars" with the Jets QB.

    "Mr. Pfizer said he didn't think he'd be in a vax war with me," Rodgers said. "This ain't a war homie, this is conversation."

    "But if you want to have some sort of duel, debate, have me on the podcast," he added, referencing Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce's popular podcast "New Heights."

    "Come on the show!" Rodgers continued, mentioning McAfee's show. "Let's have a conversation. Let's do it like in 'John Wick 4,' so we both have a second, somebody to help us out." Rodgers said his "second" would be independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and said the Kansas City Chiefs star could have Fauci or "some other pharmocrat."

    Rodgers made headlines in 2021 when he was accused of misleading comments about his vaccination status, saying he was "immunized." However, it was later revealed that he had not been vaccinated.

Considering the irrefutable fact that the Left /the Democratic Socialists, beginning in March of 2020, employed the repetitive use of the Covid Pandemic as a political cudgel to wrest a presidential election, where their candidate rarely left his basement, from a frightened and beaten down citizenry of this Representative Republic: What does your knowledge NOW, in hindsight, aid in your understanding of the motives of the Authoritarian Left?
  The "Left" cares about all Democratics, so it was imperative that we do whatever it took to elect a lifelong politician to become that Democratic Socialist to forever change US.
  Pandemics are serious business, where our leaders must use wisdom and practicable efforts of all that serve to protect the public from not only the pandemic, but these ignoble usurpers of the Left.
  I lost almost everything in the Covid Pandemic, and I want justice; a justice where only the truth prevails, and the rampant fraud that is now legend is remedied.
