You do, under some circumstances, have to hand it to Novak Djokovic. The Serbian tennis great last night chalked up a remarkable 10th title at the Australian Open (which is also how many times he’s competed in the tournament).
There will be much written about Djokovic’s sporting legacy and where he now stands in the “greatest tennis player of all time” debate. But thanks to his time in immigration detention last year, when his visa was cancelled because he allegedly “failed to provide appropriate evidence” that he had been vaccinated against COVID-19, Djokovic has a new set of fans.
The following people are united not only for their admiration of Djokovic, but their tendency to spread dangerous misinformation about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.
Leading the charge is Craig Kelly, the inexplicably protected Liberal MP turned roundly rejected UAP candidate, but a coterie of anti-vaxxers are having a field day, frequently adding a healthy seasoning of incoherence to their commentary.
What a rogues gallery of incompetent fools.
NoVax should never have been allowed to play in this year’s and the next 2 year’s Open. He lied on his customs form last year, which carries a 3 year ban from entering Australia.
He is a liar, and in my eye’s, a cheat.
That injury of his was looking ok on Sunday night as well.
I would have thought that the ‘anti-vaxxer’ crew would be more likely celebrating the eye-boggling revelations of Pfizer’s Director of Research and Development Jordan Tristan Walker as shown at https://twitter.com/BernieSpofforth/status/1618510318053003265.
Novak Djokovic has been one of the best Tennis Players over the last 10 or so years. And still is.
However, it is no surprise that he won this year’s Australian Open. All one has to do is look at the other Top Players of the last Decade or so, and see how many of them are getting a lot older, and are carrying more injuries.
He had a breeze run, playing the last couple of games against much lower ranked players.
His win certainly has nothing to do with his vaccination status.
The Anti-Vaxx community have found themselves a hero, and are singing it from the rooftops.
Nigel Farage must live in a very big house if he thinks detention in an inner city hotel constitutes “house arrest”.
