Boston United's most famous fan, deputy chief medical officer Jonathan Van-Tam, is known for his colourful language. But he could not be more forthright in a message urging Premier League players to ignore myths around the Covid-19 vaccine.
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Van-Tam has told players that he is not ‘going to mince words’ in a video designed to provide footballers with the ‘scientific facts they need’ to persuade them to get vaccinated.
The professor of health protection recorded the personalised message because of vaccine hesitancy among the Premier League and Football League players.
