While they are the first ones to collect the huge amounts for money from the Premier League TV rights, or to join the European Super League, the so called “Big Six” of the English top league are dead last when it comes to ensuring that their players and stuff are fully vaccinated against Covid-19. According to Daily Mail, only two clubs are close to hit double figures, and to make things worse, more and more players are into conspiracy theories about the vaccine. FKF relax stance on vaccine passportThe other Premier League clubs are not so good either, as there are only a handful of teams who are near full vaccination like Wolverhampton, Leeds and Southampton, but in general, almost two-thirds of top-flight players are yet to be fully vaccinated, and many are refusing altogether. Some club officials are also worried because the dressing rooms have become the place for various conspiracy theories involving Bill Gates, infertility and the power of vitamins.14:30: (1.55) Man.Utd. (4.20) Everton (7.00)The Premier League executives, as well as clubs, are also in fear that the newly Covid-19 plan, which has been in the works by the UK Government will prevent some of their players to play in league games in future months. Boris Johnson’s so-called Plan B for getting through winter, involves mandatory vaccine certification at all large venues, which means football stadiums. So far, that plan is in the works, and the idea is that a compulsory certification would only apply to visitors to large venues, with members of staff exempt on the proviso they undertake regular testing. The Premier league executives have been reassured that unvaccinated players will remain available, but the problem with vaccination remains.

While Leeds, Wolves, Southampton and Brentford have vaccinated more than 90 per cent of their staff, at least three clubs have yet to get even 10 individuals to go and get the vaccine. ‘It’s very frustrating and hard to know what to do, as the conspiracy theories have really taken hold in some dressing rooms. We’ve got senior players, intelligent men, coming out with all sorts of nonsense and they won’t be budged. One of them told me he didn’t need the vaccine because he could boost his immunity by taking vitamins. Some of the stuff they’re reading — and believing — on the internet is incredible. Players are saying that it will make them infertile, that it’s part of a plot involving Bill Gates, the pandemic is just propaganda. The real problem is that they’re also polluting the minds of younger players” one club doctor told Sportsmail.
