Gareth Southgate Points To Conspiracy Theories As Reason Players Won't Get Vaccinated
Some soccer players are not vaccinated against COVID-19 because their opinions could be swayed by conspiracy theories on social media, England coach Gareth Southgate said.
British media reported last month only seven of England's 20 Premier League clubs have squads where more than 50% of players are vaccinated.
Southgate said he is unsure of how many of his current England squad are fully vaccinated against the virus, which has caused more than 5 million deaths globally according to a Reuters tally.
