Not vaccinated, but still there: Why Kimmich is allowed into the stadiums despite 2G - and unvaccinated fans are not

The fans in the stadium have been vaccinated or recovered according to "2G", but some players like Joshua Kimmich are not - that is the reason behind this scenario.


The fans in the stadium have been vaccinated or recovered according to "2G", but some players like Joshua Kimmich are not - that is the reason behind this scenario.

Munich - Joshua Kimmich and the lack of vaccination - it is the dominant topic after the Bundesliga matchday.

The midfield star from FC Bayern is about to reject the vaccination for the time being, despite criticism from fellow players, Bayern legend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge or SPD politician Karl Lauterbach.

Kimmich's stance should also cause discussions for the fans in the stadiums. After all, they are only allowed into the stadium if they adhere to the “2G” rule: be vaccinated or recover. And then you watch a kicker who deliberately refrains from vaccination?

The question of how this could be possible recently came up at VfL Wolfsburg: striker Wout Weghorst was also infected.

Manager Jörg Schmadtke then told

Sportbuzzer

: “The relationship between club and player is a relationship between employer and employee.

As a club, I can't make it a mandatory measure for players because I think that everyone must have an opportunity to decide for themselves.

Visiting a stadium, on the other hand, is about leisure behavior, which is somewhat different.

You can create framework conditions that are accepted or not. "

Kimmich is allowed into the stadium without "2G" - because he is doing his job

In contrast to a visit to a museum or a cinema, the activity of a professional soccer player is a professional obligation. In the economy there is still no 2G obligation for employees: consequently, this also applies to the football business.

As long as this rule does not change, the fans in the stadium will still be able to examine unvaccinated professionals - unless Kimmich gets vaccinated earlier.

A politician could take care of that: Corona expert Karl Lauterbach

 even

offers Kimmich

a personal conversation

at

: “If he wants that, I would offer him one directly.

From a scientific point of view, there is more reason to worry about long-term damage from an infection with corona than from a vaccination.

I think I am well versed in long term effects of vaccination.

I am a vaccination doctor myself and have had many of these conversations.

Even with athletes.

So for me at any time. "
