NFL Star Sells Out To Pfizer

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is facing major backlash after he was featured in a Pfizer vaccine commercial.

In his latest Instagram post, Kelce uploaded a video of himself promoting Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine.

In the video, Kelce says “The CDC says you can get this season’s updated COVID-19 shot when you get your flu shot if you’re due for both. That’s why I got two shots in one stop!

At the end of the video, Kelce is seen smiling with two Band-Aids representing that he received both the flu and COVID-19 vaccine.

Here’s what Yahoo News reported:

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has made headlines for the rumors that he is dating pop icon Taylor Swift.

Now, he is making headlines for another reason — which ultimately led to some major backlash.

The all-star NFL player shared a video as he is now in a partnership with Pfizer. “#PfizerPartner With my schedule, saving time is key,” he began to write in the caption. “The CDC says you can get this season’s updated COVID-19 shot when you get your flu shot if you’re due for both. That’s why I got two shots in one stop! Ask your doctor or pharmacist if it would be right for you. You can also visit CDC’s vaccines.gov to learn more and schedule an appointment.”

He added, “This video is for US residents only and is intended to be viewed as it was originally produced in partnership with Pfizer. The information provided is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace discussions with a healthcare provider.”

Since fans could not comment on the Pfizer ad video Kelce shared, they began to comment on a different post.

“You sold out for #Pfizer 🤡,” one fan commented as another chimed in with, “Now you, too, have blood on your hands #f**kthevaccine.”

Per The Kansas City Morning Star:

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce showed off two special rings for his latest commercial. Alas, they were not his Super Bowl championship rings, just a couple of goofy-looking knockoffs. Kelce wore them as he repeatedly mentioned the tagline “Two Things At Once” as part of the spot for Pfizer, which debuted late this week.

Kelce wrote in an Instagram post that included the video. “The CDC says you can get this season’s updated COVID-19 shot when you get your flu shot if you’re due for both. That’s why I got two shots in one stop! Ask your doctor or pharmacist if it would be right for you. You can also visit CDC’s vaccines.gov to learn more and schedule an appointment.”

Kelce’s mom, Donna, also makes an appearance in the spot, and she notes that showing off the two fake rings is not really doing two things at once.
