Misinformation ?
Several key people in the EFL system with an anti vax message ?

I’ve had all 3 jabs and am currently laid up in bed with covid. I’m choosing to believe that the jabs have kept me off a ventilator and have kept me alive possibly, but there’s a heck of a lot of people who don’t and are refusing the jabs, not just the footballers

Made in Bromley

I doubt whether it's got anything to do with a perceived sense of entitlement as there are far more likely reasons including not wishing to suffer any side effects that might keep them off the pitch.

Also don't forget that the average footballer isn't too bright and is far more likely to be reading the opinions of Karen on Facebook than any informed medical opinions

The fans are not impressed.

One more point
