Aaron Rodgers, NFL Green Bay Packers: “I believe strongly in bodily autonomy and the ability to make choices for your body, not to have to acquiesce to some sort of woke culture or crazed individuals who say you have to do something. The great M.L.K. said, ‘You have a moral obligation to object to unjust rules and rules that make no sense.’” 
Kyle Dake, Olympic Wrestler: “I wanted to stand up for those who fear speaking up or don’t have a voice. Athletes for Medical Freedom was a natural landing spot for me because I didn’t want anyone to have an opportunity to compete taken away from them. 
Russell Brand, Comedian: “The idea of mandating something, that’s authoritarianism. That’s what that is. That’s telling people they have to do stuff… I think that it’s pretty significant and serious around this issue, even though I would never tell anybody what they should do with their own body.” |
Michael Andrew, Olympic Swimmer: "Everything we take and put in our body is very calculated. Going to the Games not only unvaccinated, but as an American, I'm representing my country in multiple ways and the freedoms we have to make a decision like that.” 
Joe Rogan, American podcaster, UFC color commentator, comedian, and actor: “As soon as you give politicians power, any kind of power that didn’t exist previously, if they can figure out a way to force you into carrying something that lets you enter businesses or lets you do this or lets businesses open, historically, they are not gonna give that power up. They find new reasons to use it. We have to protect those freedoms at all cost, whether you agree with people’s choices or not, because it is the foundation that this country was founded on: freedom.” 
Olivia Newton-John, Musician and Actress: “To me, real medicine is what comes from the earth. I think people trust vaccines because the doctor says it is safe, I used to.” |
Cole Beasley, NFL Buffalo Bills: "I may die of COVID, but I'd rather die actually living. I don't play for the money anymore. Fine me if you want. My way of living and my values are more important to me than a dollar." 
Kyrie Irving, NBA Brooklyn Nets: “I am doing what’s best for me. I know the consequences here and if it means that I’m judged and demonized for that, that’s just what it is.” 
Doutzen Kroes, Super Model: “I feel it is time to choose courage over comfort and speak my truth. I will not be forced to take the shot. I will not be forced to prove my health to participate in society. I will not accept exclusion of people based on their medical status.” |
