    Interesting he posted this on Sept 12.

    Many people are saying there's a link between Aaron Rodgers severe unvaccinated COVID and his freak Achilles injury on Sept 11.

    Increased incidence of acute achilles tendon ruptures in the peri-pandemic COVID era with parallels to the 2021–22 NFL season

    I assume you're being tongue in cheek, but because morons are everywhere and salivating for treats:

    From the study:
    Word "vaccine" is not mentioned. The operative words here are activity level.

    PS anyone who values someone's opinion on an [epidemiological, economic, sociological, physics, chemistry] topic because they throw a sports ball, appear in movies, or sing into a microphone should be institutionalized and have their ability to vote rescinded.

    ^See how people pounce on you when you're just asking questions?

    A lot of people don't like it when you talk about the link between Achilles injuries and COVID, apparently, and try to censor you. Hmm...now I know how Enes Freedom feels.

    That's how endorsement works though. Celebs are often chosen by corporate sponsors, politicians or the government to be their "spokesperson" to promote their products or agenda. These same corporations or politicians also have the power to choose who to promote or ruin, if you're talking about hollywood stars.

    The general public do get influenced by celebs much more easily than industry professionals or academic analysis. Besides being long and boring, the opinions of experts who refuse to be "bought out" are unwelcome by the money interests. On the contrary, what floats around the most in public are actually misleading half-truths promulgated by these big money interests.

    As such, the money interest use celebs to steer people clear of the uncorruptible rational analysis that can poke all kinds of holes in their stories, but long and boring takes are unwelcome by the public when you have the majority celeb and politicians beating their chest otherwise.

    Doesn't Brian May have a PhD? And Dolph Lundgren have a M.S.?

    Well, you'd respect May's opinion on astrophysics because he has a PhD in astrophysics, not because of his guitar skills.
