Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

Picked up FourFourTwo for the first time in a long time today - current issue lists Connolly at 18 in a list of 25 Best Players in the Premier League aged 21 and under.
You’d be sympathetic to a young single lad living on his own abroad. Not like he was having a party or anything
Ignoring this non story I would ask a different question. Are all players vaccinated now?
With the roll out of the vaccine across the UK I find it hard to believe that all Premiership clubs wouldnt have got all their players vaccinated already. Money talks and they have been deemed essential workers since they came back to play in the summer.
It would be a huge PR disaster if players were found to have skipped the line. They're all young and healthy so at very little risk of dying or having severe complications. Here in the USA, the NBA made clear that no team would be allowed to skip the line and would have to wait for their turn to come, just like any other healthy male their age.
I'm open to correction but I don't remember any Premiership player miss games in recent months for a positive covid test or close contact of positive test. Nothing announced and it may be going un noticed.
The NBA is playing the political correctness game which is fair enough, but very soon all NBA players will be vaccinated, guaranteed before the playoffs. No one will want another bubble and they won't want big names missing playoff games due to covid
It's a no brainer to prioritise them. They're the ones keeping many of us some way sane during this sh!t show.
Vaccines are widely available in the UK. I'm in my 30s and have no underlying health issues and have already had my first dose. Obviously most footballers are a bit younger than me but I don't think many people would have much of an issue with them being vaccinated now that all of the highest priority groups are done or are on the verge of being done.
There were two positive cases in the most recent rounds of testing according to premierleague.com: https://www.premierleague.com/news/1814863
The article linked includes the results from all previous rounds of testing
Names are not published unless the people concerned themselves want it to be known
No, I'm in a major UK city. My case was a bit of an anomaly (they had spare doses at a local health centre going to anyone who happened to be there that day) but it's more indicative of the wider point that there seems to be sufficient availability in the UK for professional athletes to be vaccinated now.
