Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is coming in for a world of hate after it emerged he may have been paid 20 million dollars to endorse the controversial Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19.
Kelce has not been having a good season on the field which has made him an easy target for criticism, as has the relationship with pop star Taylor Swift.
Kelce was Pfizer’s spokesperson for their double shot for flu and COVID-19 vaccines campaign.
How much did Travis Kelce get from Pfizer?
With there being plenty of anti-vaccination sentiment in the United States of America following the coercive COVID-19 jab campaign, the discovery that he actually earned a lot of money from that gig has caused anger.
When you consider that he makes 14 million dollars per season for his work in the NFL, to get 20 million for those commercials is quite a remarkable amount of money.

You do not have to be anti-vaccination to question that news, as there are legitimate issues around a pharmaceutical company creating something deemed officially as essential, but having figures like 20 million dollars to spend on one face of the campaign is another matter.
One fan said: “Yeah lil bro sold his soul.”
Another said: “Vaccine must be slowing him down cause he looks horrible this year.” Similarly, another said: “No wonder he’s been so bad.”
One person suggested that he didn’t even believe in the product, saying: “Good God. He probably never got vacced either!”
