Well done Novak Djokovic.

I agree, well done Novak.
He will not be playing as the call comes down to Dan Andrews, the man personally responsible for the worlds longest lockdown and a man who is feeding on the attention he gets from being seen as tough, oh and I forgot about that 90 day lockdown law he is trying to roll through parliament which will give unprecedented powers to . . . Himself.
It's Novak vs the ego of Dan Andrews.
Fighto!
On what? Refusing a vaccine?
The guy is a nut. Lock him out.

The real point of this difference is that Djokovic even refuses to indicate whether or not he has been inoculated as that "is a private affair".

Excluding people who MIGHT be sick is wrong, unfair and doesn't make sense.

I hope we don’t make a special exemption just for him. And I don’t understand why it so hard for him to reveal his vaccination status..our country our requirements, don’t like it? Stay home then.

Good for him.
12 years is the average time it takes to bring a vaccine to market, so he's obviously a critical thinker. And while we are at it, Moderna created their vaccine in only 2 days.
Yep, he made the right decision.

Talking about your medical history to immigration or medical staff is one thing, having a bunch media vultures prying into peoples medical history should be absolutely refused. It is absolutely none of their business whatsoever. What business does a jounalist have to know anything whatsoever about my medical history? None.

Djokovic is a freedom fighter and a hero.

Waiting 12 years in a pandemic for a new disease is stupid. Most vaccines are for pre existing diseases not new ones flooding the globe. An emergency situation deserves emergency actions and that modern medicine can achieve such a relatively fast result when it has the resources is expected in this day and age.
Djokovic can stay home on vacation during the upcoming Aus open. Not vaccinated = no admission. If they let him and others in unvaxxed there will be public outcry against tennis Australia and Dan Andrews.
