Jürgen Klopp has no understanding for those who refuse to be vaccinated. Protecting yourself and others against Corona does not restrict freedom. Otherwise the ban on driving while drunk would also be a restriction of freedom.
For soccer coach Jürgen Klopp, refusing a corona vaccination is like drinking and driving. The legal provisions, on the other hand, are “not there to protect me when I have two beers and want to drive, it’s to protect other people because I’m drunk and we accept that as a law,” said the FC coach Liverpool.
He not only had himself vaccinated to protect himself against the virus, but also the people around him, added Klopp. “I don’t understand why that is a restriction on freedom. If it is, then the ban on driving while drunk is also a restriction on freedom,” he said.
Jürgen Klopp for more openness about the vaccination status

If he says: I don’t have to tell you, then I say: Okay, I’m not going with you,” Klopp explained to the British According to the media, at a media round before the Premier League’s top game against Manchester City this Sunday.
