Travis Kelce was shocked to find himself in "vax wars" with Aaron Rodgers, but Kelce has an expert on his side.

Jerome Adams, surgeon general during Donald Trump's presidency, praised Kelce's stance and took a shot at Rodgers while doing so in a since-deleted post on X, formerly Twitter.

"Player A: Takes unregulated psychedelics, out for season. Player B: Takes FDA approved vaccine, dominant on field, team winning, dating T Swift," Adams posted. "I'm no football expert any more than Aaron Rodgers is a doctor, but seems like player B is ‘winning,’ no?"
