And I had come to the conclusion I&#8217;m gonna say, &#8216;I&#8217;ve been immunized.&#8217;  And if there&#8217;s a follow-up, then talk about my process,&#8221; Rodgers told Rogan (at the 11:35 mark of the video below).<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;But, (I) thought there&#8217;s a possibility that I say &#8216;I&#8217;m immunized,&#8217; maybe they understand what that means, maybe they don&#8217;t. Maybe they follow up. They didn&#8217;t follow up.
