Pindar… i knew it.
I still don't think Rodgers understands the power he wields. No, one individual isn't responsible for all of the misinformation. Even someone as popular as Rodgers. But there are people who look at Rodgers and believe he knows more than even the people who dedicate their lives to studying vaccines and infectious diseases. Rodgers appears smart on these topics and speaks with authority on them. It's ignorant authority but it's authority.
Dr. Peter Hotez, one of the world's experts on vaccinology, and vaccine misinformation, said it's unclear the impact one person can have when spouting misinformation. But he worries about something else.
"It's difficult to say, or ascribe, the negative impact to any single individual," Hotez told USA TODAY Sports. "In the case of high profile professional athletes, I worry that their strong anti-vaccine or anti-science viewpoints become the face of the franchise or the league. In the case of the NBA, I know they worked hard to overcome some strong views expressed by specific individuals. I don't know if the NFL has attempted to do the same."
