The ordeal that Joshua Kimmich is experiencing seems to have led him to rethink his decision not to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. The Bayern Munich midfielder, who will miss the remainder of 2021 due to a slight lung infiltration that you suffer as a result of having contracted the virus (without being vaccinated), explained in an interview with the second German channel ZDF that, finally, has made the decision to be immunized against Covid.
“In general, I found it difficult to deal with my fears and worries, and that’s why I was indecisive for so long. “, were the words of Kimmich about his doubts when it comes to getting vaccinated, a decision that caused a lot of stir in Germany, a country that the fourth wave has hit very hard taking into account that only 69 percent of the population was willing to be vaccinated to date. There is a lot of skepticism about it.
Since he explained the reasons for his decision on television, where he explained that he was concerned about “the long-term effects” of the vaccine, Kimmich adds a total of three consecutive quarantines. First, he had to isolate himself twice after being in close contact, then he tested positive, for which he had to re-quarantine himself. Last Wednesday he was able to come out by testing negative in the PCR, but, for now, the aftermath of the Covid will not allow him to return to the playing fields until January.
