He said unvaxed should be refused at hospitals...like Stern did

Elaboration of some of Kimmel’s lies:

saying someone is a pedophile“

Rodgers didn’t do that. Rodgers just said that Kimmel seems unhappy about the list coming out. That could mean many things, possibly including Kimmel’s concern for his associates.

out of the blue insinuated that I was nervous because the Jeffrey Epstein list was coming out.”

It wasn’t out of the blue. On an earlier McAfee show, AJ Hawk mentioned the list and Rodgers briefly chimed in about it without mentioning Kimmel. Kimmel used the clip on his own show to make fun of Rodgers. Kimmel was the first to single someone out. Kimmel started the beef.

And then (Epstein’s list) did come out “

No, it didn’t. Only preliminary files have been released. This is an especially suspicious and insidious lie because it signals that when expanded files and more complete lists are released in the future, Kimmel & co will do their best to ignore and dismiss.

his lies about being vaccinated.“

Rodgers said he was “inoculated” and remained vague about what for, and then clarified that he’s clean-blooded in regards to the C19 mRNA injections.

Someone who never spent a minute studying the human body“

Rodgers took formal biology courses in high school and probably college. He studied kinesiology and immunology of his own accord.

Kimmel claimed Rodgers suffers from the Dunning-Kruger Effect. From Rodgers’ wiki:

He graduated from Pleasant Valley High School in spring 2002, after scoring 1310 in the SAT and with an A− average.“

1310 is a pretty high percentile score. Rodgers also got a 35 on his Wonderlic test, which is even more elite. Unless Kimmel can share his scores that are true and better than Rodgers’, it seems Kimmel isn’t in a good position to speculate on Rodgers’ intelligence or competence, never mind insult him as “hamster-brained”. It’s more likely that Kimmel is the one suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

Best confirmation is an official denial. Trigger the Streisand Effect.

It was sooooo funny when Kimmell's name was stated in a deposition released the very next day!

I was irritated today listening for a change to Clay and Buck and one of the two said he knows Kimmel and likes him and that Kimmel wasn't nasty like the others when it came to vaccination and excoriating people. I wrote an @ tweet reminding them of Kimmel saying that ill, unvaxxed people shouldn't get treatment. "Rest in peace, wheezy," were his exact words.

Don't know what to make of all of this.

The NY Post article linked in this post title includes a video of Kimmel’s monologue, but here’s the transcript:

Did you hear this story about me and Aaron Rodgers, the former quarterback for the Packers? All right, so, what happened is he’s a Jets quarterback now. He went on a show on ESPN, The Pat McAfee Show, and out of the blue insinuated that I was nervous because the Jeffrey Epstein list was coming out. He said I was hoping it wouldn’t, and that he was going to pop a bottle of something to celebrate when he did. And then it did come out and of course my name wasn’t on it and isn’t on it and won’t ever be on — I don’t know Jeffrey Epstein, I’ve never met Jeffrey Epstein, I’m not on the list, I wasn’t on a plane or an island or anything ever and I suggested that if Aaron wanted to make false and very damaging statements like that that we should do it in court so he could share his proof with like a judge. Because, you know, when you hear a guy who won a Super Bowl and did all the State Farm commercials say something like this, a lot of people believe it.

And I know this because I hear from these people often. My wife hears from them. My kids hear from them. My poor mailman hears from these people. And now we’re hearing from lots more of them, thanks to Aaron Rodgers, who I guess believes one of two things. Either he actually believes my name was gonna be on Epstein’s list, which is insane. Or the more likely scenario is he doesn’t actually believe that, he just said it because he’s mad at me for making fun of his top knot and his lies about being vaccinated. He’s particularly upset I think because I made fun of the fact that he floated this wacko idea that the UFO sightings that were in the news in February were being reported to distract us from the Epstein list. That was Aaron’s theory that he said, and I mocked [him].”

So he saw that and maybe to retaliate, he decided to insinuate that I am a pedophile. This is how these nuts do it now. You don’t like Trump, you’re a pedophile. It’s their go-to move, and it shows you how much they actually care about pedophilia.

But here’s the thing, I spent years doing sports. I’ve seen guys like him before. Aaron Rodgers has a very high opinion of himself. Because he had success on a football field, he believes himself to be an extraordinary being. He genuinely thinks that because God gave him the ability to throw a ball, he’s smarter than everybody else. The idea that his brain is just average is unfathomable to him. We learned during COVID somehow he knows more about science than scientists.

A guy who went to community college, then got into Cal on a football scholarship, and didn’t graduate. Someone who never spent a minute studying the human body is an expert in the field of immunology. He just put on a magic helmet and that ‘G’ made him a genius. Aaron got two As on his report card. They were both in the word Aaron, OK? And can you imagine that this hamster-brained man knows what the government is up to because he’s a quarterback doing research on YouTube and listening to podcasts?

I looked it up. This is actually a thing. It’s called the Dunning-Kruger effect. The Dunning-Kruger is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities. In other words, Aaron Rodgers is too arrogant to know how ignorant he is. They let him host Jeopardy! for two weeks. Now he knows everything.

And by the way, I’m not one of those people that thinks athletes and members of the sports media should stick to talking about sports. I think Aaron Rodgers has the right to express any opinion he wants. But saying someone is a pedophile isn’t an opinion nor is it trash talk, sorry Pat McAfee.

And as far as the ‘well, you say things about people all the time’ argument goes, yes, I do. It’s not the same. It’s not even close to the same. We don’t make up lies. In fact, we have a team of people who work very hard to work to sift through facts and reputable sources before I make a joke, and that’s an important distinction. A joke about someone. Even when that someone is Donald Trump. Even a person who lies from the minute he wakes up until the minute he’s smearing orange makeup on his My Pillow at night, even he deserves that consideration. And we give it to him, because the truth still matters.

And when I do get something wrong, which happens on rare occasions, you know what I do? I apologize for it. Which is what Aaron Rodgers should do. Which is what a decent person would do. But I bet he won’t. If he does, you know what I’ll do, I’ll accept his apology and move on. But he probably won’t do that.”
