PSG chief executive Piet Mouton has gone out on a limb, putting pen to paper on one of the more controversial issues of 2021, vaccinations.

There have been a few rare cases of the vaccines creating serious illness and death but Mouton argues that we can't live in fear of the isolated, low percentage scenarios.
