<p>Chiefs&#8217; star player <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/travis-kelce-speaks-out-after-taylor-swift-attends-chiefs-game-amid-dating-rumors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Travis Kelce</a> responded to New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers calling him Mr. Pfizer and joked, &#8220;Who knew I would get into the vax wars with Aaron Rodgers&#8221; after Kelce appeared in an ad for the pharmaceutical company.</p>
<p>During a <a href="https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1710366041904390540?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a> on Friday, the Kansas City tight end laughed about the nickname and told the press it was a &#8220;pretty good&#8221; one from the all-star QB and made it clear he was &#8220;fully comfortable&#8221; with being called that.</p>
<p>When pressed further by a reporter on why he decided to appear in a commercial for the company that manufactures the COVID vaccine, the professional football player said he got it to keep &#8220;my family safe.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">JUST IN: Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce responds after Aaron Rodgers called him &quot;Mr. Pfizer,&quot; says he stands by the vaccine and says it keeps his family safe.</p>
<p>The comment from Kelce came after Rodgers made fun of him for starring in a Pfizer commercial.</p>
<p>“I mean, I&#39;ve always… <a href="https://t.co/HuYRue8CcF">pic.twitter.com/HuYRue8CcF</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) <a href="https://twitter.com/CollinRugg/status/1710366041904390540?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 6, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;I mean, I&#8217;ve always been, you know, once I got the vaccine … I got it because of, you know, keeping myself safe, keeping my family safe, the people in this building,&#8221; Kelce said.</p>
<p>&#8220;So yeah, I stand by it 1000% and fully comfortable with him calling me Mr. Pfizer,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Earlier this week, the superstar Jets QB labeled <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/taylor-swift-announces-eras-tour-concert-movie-coming-to-theaters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taylor Swift&#8217;s</a> rumored boyfriend &#8220;Mr. Pfizer&#8221; following New York&#8217;s loss to the Kansas City team on Sunday night.</p>
<p>During Rodgers&#8217; weekly appearance on the &#8220;Pat McAfee Show,&#8221; the NFL MVP took a swipe at Kelce, noting that the Jets’ defense kept the team in the game, despite ultimately falling to the Patrick Mahomes-led squad 23 to 20 during &#8220;Sunday Night Football.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I think there&#8217;s some sentiment that there&#8217;s some sort of moral victory there,&#8221; Rodgers told the host. &#8220;That we hung with the champs.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And that our defense played well and Pat [Mahomes] didn&#8217;t have a crazy game,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And Mr. Pfizer, we kind of shut him down a little bit. He didn&#8217;t have any crazy impact on the game, other than some yards and stuff.&#8221;</p>
<p>The comments left the host busting up laughing, but he attempted to cover up his snickers from disrupting the Jets QB&#8217;s remarks.</p>
<p>&#8220;I felt like for the most part we played really tough on defense the last three quarters and that was important for us,&#8221; he added. Rodgers could hear the laughter coming from the other side of the microphone and was smiling.</p>
<p>The clip went viral with more than <a href="https://twitter.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1709274038516777243?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">28 million views</a> and counting at the time of this publication. &#8220;Mr. Pfizer&#8221; also began trending on X on Tuesday.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aaron-rodgers-says-hes-been-cast-as-the-villain-over-covid-stance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rodgers</a> made headlines in 2021 when he was accused of misleading comments about his vaccination status, saying he was &#8220;immunized.&#8221; However, it was later revealed that he had not been vaccinated.</p>
