Apparently 25% of EFL players aren’t vaccinated , now I know the vaccine doesn’t stop you from catching/spreading it, but no wonder so many of them are actually poorly from it!

Yeah my mates just text me the same. Full breakdown:

41% of players in EFL still not fully vaccinated, league reveals.

*25% “do not intend to get vaccine”

*16% are “set to get the jab”

*59% are double vaccinated

*?% booster

IMO any team who who haven't got a fully vaccinated squad should be forced to play with whatever healthy squad members they have left... regardless of whether that's us, our opponents, Premier League teams, etc.

Yeah, but then don't complain when a first team party causes an outbreak

Seems dumb for a player to deliberately make it more likely they won't be in peak condition and could miss out on thousands in appearance bonuses. No more sympathy for a player not taking the vaccine than I would for a player who's caning it on the booze in between games. Plenty of players have knackered their own careers that way.

That seems very high. The NHL (ice hockey) has its fair share of redneck players who you might guess are anti-vax but started the season with only 4 players unvaccinated and 3 of them have since changed their mind and had the jab.

Why would the percentage be so high for footballers?

It isnt high - the age group profile is about 25% unvaccinated regardless of profession

Yeah but playing with numbers.

41% currently unvaxxed vs 25% of the general population is a disparity of c,60%.

That's pretty significant, statistically speaking.

Odd, to say the least.

I'm taking your and CCFCSteve's data at face value.

According to you - 25% of that age profile unvaxxed.

According to CCFCSteve - 41% of EFL players unvaxxed.

That is a big difference, and well outside of any statistical margin of error.

Severity of illness vaccinated v unvaccinated (even allowing for age) should be enough of a reason, but regardless, you'd think that helping keep the night life and venues open that a lot seem to frequent, would be a motivator. Frustrated by some of the mindsets. but hey ho, live and let......

Think it’s an important question as to why many aren’t. I could understand more in the premier league as more nationalities , cultures etc. But Efl ......I know footballers often aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, but smacks of the louder influenicentak teams mates probably putting out fake news in WhatsApp groups putting players off

Updated my original post. It should’ve read 41% not fully vaccinated (which would tie in with 59% confirmed as double jabbed). I’d cut and paste mates text earlier

Pretty disgraceful that relatively few are fully jabbed.

I wonder whether those on the fringes of the team are more likely to be jabbed as their opportunities for first team football may then increase?

Given how many were duped into investing in Michael McIndoe’s pyramid scheme I’d say that’s a fair suspicion.

I think it comes down to the lack of transparency of the (potential) long term health effects of taking these vaccines, particularly the mRNA based ones. If you‘re over a certain age with a health condition it’s a no brainer, not so much if you‘re fit and healthy and in your 20s.
