The German national soccer player of FC Bayern Munich, who justified his previous rejection with a lack of long-term studies, was “caught up in misinformation. He is very badly advised.

Kimmich have a special responsibility
It is Kimmich’s personal decision. But the 26-year-old is a role model that millions of people would listen to. “It is now important to clarify well that this form of long-term effects does not exist. I have to worry that people don’t think now because he’s worried, ”said Buyx.
It would be desirable if Kimmich could get advice again and “then also decide to vaccinate. This is not only a good thing for himself, but also for his team, his club and ultimately for all of us, every vaccination counts, ”said Buyx.
