Good for Djokovic! Its a brilliant strategy, he pulled out of the ATP saying he wouldn't be vexed (ie putting the Aussie's on the back foot. That is deal with me or I won't come and you won't make ANY money off me.๐Ÿ˜Š AND now this inspires/enrages other players who are quarantining and get shots saying" what the hell, why can't I get the medical exam he got" AND imagine if you are an Australian living through the current hell down there. WOW they have sold out totally-- the emperor is totally naked now.

Meanwhile Rafael Nadal: โ€œnot getting jabbed is selfishโ€. Go Djokovic! (From Spain)

As he clutches his chest and collapses on the court. But maybe he will be one the of lucky ones. Djokovic is a fanatic on his diet and all that other mother jazz, so good for him.

I bet Jeremy Chardy is pissed!

Damn...did Raf really say that?

Rafs a flog with no backbone and cries to mum 'I had to do it. make Djokovic do it too. Its not fair.'๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข

Didnโ€™t hear him directly. But it was a common subject of conversation here in Spain some weeks ago.

Thought Raf was a tad more informed on such an issue, but what do I know.

It was a surprise for me as well.

How is it a healthy young รฉlite athlete gets a medical exemption and for what? AND those across the world with legitimate health issues cannot? How is this not wrong? Just sayin. Yes I get it...follow the $$$ or he is too valuable to Tennis, but doesn't make it RIGHT! Say this absolutely loving his game and achievements.

everyone should get an exemption on demand by uttering the simple phrase "no thank you"

should be as simple as that yes...

Reckon so Bri...

Perhaps he argued that as he had already had Covid he didnโ€™t need the vaccine.

As many other โ€œregularโ€ people have tried, and were ignored. Good for him, but then it should apply to all who want that.

There a few tennis players none to happy. Benoit Pare is very upset he has tested over and over for the Wuflu. He said it has affected his mental health and cannot train properly because of multiple quarantines. Said it was a sham. When you don't have the number 1 or 2 there it lessens the tournament.

Djokovic had an opportunity to give a crushing blow to vaxx tyranny by sitting out the Australian Open and telling everyone why. From a personal perspective he is a young, healthy man who has next to zero risk from COVID but has watched other international athletes die from the vaccines. From a humanity perspective, there are Australians being held in quarantine camps simply for being near someone who had COVID.

Tend to agree with this. Sat on multi-millions too. So maybe start a legal proceeding for discrimination at the same time. That would be true leadership.

Or even better host a tournament for vaccinated players only... pay per view. Get it sponsored by mypillow etc. ! hehe.

Tournament would probably have like 6 entrants. Entire sports world has fallen for the jab. They also push it on the public with endless psaโ€™s.

Yeah this is a time in life to pick a hill to die on for sure. The blatant corruption and crimes against humanity is likely not something we will ever witness again in our lifetime on this level. The absolute worst thing a person or organization can do is stay in denial or enable this evil

Donโ€™t count on this being the worst they have already noted what they can get away with and how compliant people are we could see Holocaust II with people who wonโ€™t comply rounded up.

I agree with you, Djokovic could have done so much more with this. I'm (currently) disappointed in him, but will leave the door open to change my mind on that...

Expand full comment

Totally agree go Novak. But you should read the vitriol against him. The media have created all this hate speech. If I could travel interstate to Melbourne I would be outside the arena supporting him. I hope someone does.

Expand full comment

Djokovic had the Australian Open by the balls and could have made a difference if he took a principled stand against the vaxx tyranny. But he didn't. He is a wealthy man, so it wasn't for the money.

You, Jenny Dunn, can't travel interstate in your own country but a tennis player from another country can come to your home and do what he wants to because he has mass appeal to tennis fans. Opportunity lost.

Vexed is probably just as good.

I tripped over to a SIBO attack, called Gastro for a script, got hung up on numerous times, call blocked message, this is not a frequent infection, just sudden, in ongoing GI patients. Then the excuses, 'you've not been in in over a year,' BLAME MEDICARE/TRICARE, Unless it's time for the 3 yr Upper Endoscope for Barret's Esophagus Pre-Cancers, He won't see me, just a phone call to his nurse for a script refill. Since they took Nexium off the Formulary, I buy 2 boxes of 20 mg, they don't work as well as the Script. Won't use store brands, they are worse. 'you need to do a colon screen, be JABBED' Ah NO! 'We need a stool sample' how do you sample Liquid? So they got the liquid. Next opening after lab work 10 days, this is a urgent need, not a wait one. Infection gets worse with time, as does my PAIN, and Patience. Already lost nearly 7 lbs through dehydration. He is only doing colon screens as he is getting ready to retire. Leaving his patients hanging, this is a large stand a lone practice, multiple docs. Screw your 10 days to see a PA, just write the script send it to the Navy base only place Tricare allows it filled, records show I've had these attacks before.

I figured vexed was just you pronouncing the word with an Aussie accent. ๐Ÿ˜„
