Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says people who refuse to take the Covid-19 vaccine are endangering others like drunk drivers do.
Liverpool – Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp likened refusal to take the Covid-19 vaccine to drink-driving, saying such people endanger others.
Klopp said he took the vaccine to protect not just himself but"all the people around me". The 54-year-old also said that 99% of his Liverpool players are vaccinated and that he did not have to convince anyone to do so. British media reported last week that only seven of the 20 Premier League clubs have squads where more than 50% of players are vaccinated.
"If I say I am vaccinated, other people say: 'How can you tell me I should be vaccinated?' It is a little bit like drink-driving," Klopp said ahead of Sunday's home game with Manchester City. "We all probably were in a situation where we had a beer or two and thought we still could drive but the law, we are not allowed to drive so we don't drive.
