The NFL Alumni Health, which is partnering with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is doing this campaign just to simply educate people, Faulk said. The former Rams star running back urged people to talk to their health care provider and doctor to “get the correct information and then make a correct decision.”

“Don’t listen to the pundits on social media, the stuff that you’re reading… Actually go to your doctor, so you can make an educated decision,” Faulk stated. “That’s what this whole thing is about. If we can get people to do that, then this whole campaign and what we’re doing is going to be worth something. Just stop listening to the non-doctors, and go listen to your doctors. Sit down with a health care professional and hear what they have to say about the benefits of doing it versus not doing it, and if you do it, what the repercussions are.”

Faulk said that he wants them to make the “right decision with the right information.”

I’m not here to beat people over the head and debate them on what’s right and what’s wrong,” Faulk continued. “What I’m here to do is to let them know that there’s an educated decision that should be made and could be made with this. And that’s all we are asking you to do. Seek out a health care professional and get the information necessary to help you and your family make the best decision possible.

“If they’ve done that, and they still feel that what they are doing is the best decision for them and their family, then what I can say is you’re making an educated decision and that’s it. That’s all we want people to do.”
