Bayern star Joshua Kimmich
The German national player Joshua Kimmich founded the “We kick Corona” initiative. Among other things, this donates money for vaccination campaigns.
Bayern's midfield engine Joshua Kimmich (26) founded the “We kick Corona” initiative with teammate Leon Goretzka (26). He is fighting publicly against the corona virus and its consequences. The initiative helps people and institutions who are suffering from the direct consequences of the pandemic. The two footballers each donated one million euros.
On the homepage of “We kick Corona”, Kimmich can be quoted as follows: “Because health is paramount, solidarity on a small and large scale is now necessary. Everyone can help.”
Now the “Bild” has found out that Kimmich himself should not be vaccinated. This is despite the fact that the German government also refers to the scientific knowledge that vaccination is the most effective way of containing the pandemic. So why is the German international not vaccinated even though he is “advertising” for it?
From those around Kimmich you can hear that he would first like to wait for long-term studies on possible vaccination results. “We kick Corona” donated the Unicef 500,000 euros. The amount went to the Covax initiative. This initiative organizes the world's largest vaccination campaign against Corona. Around 90 percent of all players in the Bundesliga are vaccinated.
