Prevea stated publicly on Saturday that it was ending its partnership with Rodgers, who had been the company’s spokesperson since 2012. Rodgers, who tested positive for coronavirus earlier this week, stated on Friday that he did not receive the vaccination.
Despite claiming he is not an “anti-vaxxer,” Rodgers told the hosts of “The Pat McAfee Show” that he was afraid the vaccine would make him sterile (there is no evidence to support this), and that he was taking comedian and former “Fear Factor” host Joe Rogan’s advice.
Rodgers said he was being treated with ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug that has yet to be proven effective against the coronavirus.
“Prevea Health remains deeply committed to protecting its patients, staff, providers, and communities amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
