Chiefs TE Travis Kelce Fires Back at Aaron Rodgers Mocking Him for Vaccine Ads: ‘Mr. Pfizer vs. The Johnson & Johnson Family’

In response to New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers teasing him for appearing in an ad promoting the Covid vaccine, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce took a shot of his own.

Rodgers on Tuesday appeared on The Pat McAfee Show to discuss the Jets’ Monday night loss to the Chiefs. While talking about the Jets slowing down Kelce’s offensive production, Rodgers — a noted skeptic of the Covid vaccine — jokingly referred to him as “Mr. Pfizer.”

Kelce recently appeared in ads encouraging people to get vaccinated against both the flu and Covid. Speaking to the media on Friday, Kelce said he had no problem with the comment.

“I thought it was pretty good,” Kelce said of the joke. “I mean, with the mustache right now, I look like a guy named Mr. Pfizer. Who knew I’d get into the vax wars with Aaron Rodgers? Mr. Pfizer vs. the Johnson & Johnson family over there.”

The New York Jets are owned by Woody Johnson and Christopher Johnson, the great-grandsons of Robert Wood Johnson I and heirs to the pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson. When Rodgers made the decision to go the Jets after 18 years with the Green Bay Packers, much of the talk online was about the fact that Rodgers chose a team owned by the company that manufactures the very vaccine he opposes.
