Expect a raft of footballer vaccinations before transfer window.
Would you buy an unvaccinated player if literally a minute after signing they test positive for COVID & never play for the club.
Financial suicide.

I doubt whether many of them are poorly. They are tested daily and might not be showing symptoms even if positive. They still have to isolate.

Why?
Waghorn still not back from ‘injury’ after he had COVID & didn’t Jake Clarke-Salter get it too?
Whether the above are vaccinated or not nobody has any idea what the long term negative affects are of getting COVID.
What we do know is that people of all ages are dying from it and some are suffering life changing illness in recovery.
To say that footballers won’t be poorly because they are regularly tested is ridiculous.

With respect to the footballers I think many of them would cite the fact they have had the virus already and therefore have a good degree of immunity. People who have not had covid and are still unvaxed I understand their position far less. We need to improve anti body and T cell testing as there could be millions of people who are immune from previous infection or great responses to 2 jabs and rather than pressuring those citizens to have a booster or jabs, those vaccines could be given to poorer nations.

Exactly. A few players have spoken out about the after effects of having Covid & how it's affected them:
Kevin De Bruyne: Manchester City midfielder admits he is still not fully recovered from coronavirus
Kevin De Bruyne has endured a frustrating season with injuries and admits he is still yet to recover fully after contracting Covid-19 while on international duty with Belgium; De Bruyne scored twice in Manchester Citys 7-0 win over Leeds on Tuesday
After suffering lung problem due to Covid, Joshua Kimmich says he should have been vaccinated | CNN
Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich says he should have been vaccinated sooner after suffering a lung problem due to Covid-19.

That comparison is either very poor or deliberately misleading. The 68% was 2 months ago in mid October, when it was 81% of players who had had 1 dose. Those other countries also have around half the current total cases in comparison to the UK, with worse overall vaccination rates.

To be fair if more players were vaccinated it still wouldn't stop them from testing positive for covid.
The key difference is we as a country are testing much more than our peers which means you are going to see more cases

I mean, yes it would.

Any idea what CCFCs vaccination status is? I know some players went for their first jab in July

Wasn't there a squad trip to UHCW for them to get jabbed? Seem to remember some press around that. Presumably then anyone who isn't jabbed is down to choice rather than them not having got round to it.

I've not seen any reports of rugby players, tennis players, cricket players, netball players, hockey players etc collapsing.
Weird that it's just footballers affected by the the vaccine and collapsing...

I'm just intrigued really, I'd like to think we as a club do our utmost to promote the vaccination of players, particularly the first two jabs.

A leading sports cardiologist thinks not
Why are so many footballers collapsing with heart-related issues?
CHRIS WHEELER: It feels that barely a week goes by at the moment without news of another cardiac-related incident in the game.

If you’re fine with players being allowed to play unvaxxed then you can’t really complain when our games are called off. This isn’t happening in other countries where the players all getting full vaxxed.
