French striker Francois-Xavier Foumou Tamuso has filed a lawsuit against the makers of coronavirus vaccines. The footballer claims they may have influenced his early end to his career at the age of 29.
Tamuso played for French second division club Laval this season. The player's decision to end his career was influenced by a number of injuries. The player suffered his first injury in the summer of 2021. Since then, he has had persistent health problems.
Tamuso claims that receiving the coronavirus vaccine may have affected his health. According to L'Equipe, the footballer has filed a lawsuit against vaccine manufacturers Pfizer and BioNTech. The hearing will take place on 2 July in Paris.
Tamuso and his lawyer have also sued the French Football Federation. The player's lawyer claims that the association is responsible for Tamuso's early termination of his career.
