Aaron Rodgers' refusal to get a COVID-19 shot opened the door for President Joe Biden to slip in his own shot at the star quarterback.

DAWSON SPRINGS, Ky. (CNN) – President Joe Biden encountered two Green Bay Packers fans who lost their homes while touring storm-ravaged Kentucky Wednesday.
As part of the conversation, Biden said, “God love you, and tell that quarterback he’s got to get the vaccine,” eliciting a laugh from the group.
The president’s quip was referring to misleading comments Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers made regarding his vaccination status.
When asked if he was vaccinated against COVID-19, Rodgers would say he was “immunized.”
It was learned the quarterback hadn’t received the vaccine after he tested positive for COVID-19.
