Roberto Firmino & Klopp
Jurgen Klopp has again spoken out and encouraged everyone to get their Covid-19 vaccines as the Omicron variant continues to spread. Following on from a number of midweek postponements after coronavirus outbreaks at several Premier League sides, half of this weekend’s fixtures have already been cancelled.
Jurgen Klopp said: “It’s a question of persuading. I think mandatory, from a moral point of view it should be mandatory for each person I think, but not from a legal point of view. I don’t see that but from a moral point of view because if I can do something that helps the people around me, that’s for me mandatory. Obviously people see that differently. I am 54 years old and I really am a big believer in that you can convince people about the right things to do, but I’m not sure in this specific case. England is in a much better place vaccination rate wise than Germany is for example. It’s unbelievable how aggressive the anti-vaxxer scene is and how clear they are in that they obviously know better than the rest of us. It’s really tricky, really tricky. But no, I don’t think it should be mandatory legally, but morally, yes.”
