摘要

在 2021 年 8 月的一次球队新闻发布会上，当时的绿湾包装工队四分卫亚伦-罗杰斯（Aaron Rodgers）声称他已经 "接种了疫苗"，这意味着他已经接种了 COVID-19 疫苗。他后来承认自己没有接种疫苗，并引发了新闻和大众媒体的争论。本研究以无知认识论、科学争议、体育神话和假新闻为基础，探讨职业运动员、COVID-19 流行病和疫苗接种的新闻报道。主题话语分析有助于将围绕亚伦-罗杰斯（Aaron Rodgers）的言论、态度和行为展开的叙述定位在疫苗犹豫和话语操纵之间的连续体上。研究结果揭示了与职业运动员社会责任管理相关的社会问题的演变视角，并呼吁在体育、新闻和社会的交叉点上，对关键意见领袖的权力、特权和代理动态进行更尖锐的审视。

Yeah, I’ve been immunized: Objectivity, ignorance, and privilege in media coverage of Aaron Rodgers’ COVID-19 vaccine refusal

During a team press conference in August 2021, then-Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers claimed he had been ‘immunized,’ which implied he had taken a COVID-19 vaccine. He later admitted he was not vaccinated and sparked a debate in the news and popular media. This study builds on the epistemology of ignorance, science controversy, sports mythmaking, and fake news to explore news coverage of professional athletes, the COVID-19 pandemic, and vaccination. Thematic discourse analysis helped position the narratives built around Aaron Rodgers’ statements, attitudes, and behaviors on the continuum between vaccine hesitancy and discursive manipulation. The findings reveal evolving perspectives of social issues related to managing social responsibility of professional athletes and call for sharper interrogations of the dynamics of power, privilege, and agency among key opinion leaders at the intersection of sports, journalism, and society.
