His name is Novax Djokovic – you can't make this stuff up.
ok kids its wake up time now how do we spell …GLOW BAALISM !
HMM…NOT BY CHANCE EH > ?
Australia is a joke. Good luck to all that live there.
Stop vaccine 🛑!!!
I know how to hunt
I know how to build a house
I know how to grow crops
You can take away my life, but you will never take my freedom
North Korea is a freer country than Australia!
After you stole entire continet from aborigins and murdered 98% of them
Nadal def the nost miserable no caracter ever
Yeah but I still think that gay rights is now our biggest priority as humanity on the planet besides going to Mars in the near future and solving the black hole fenomenon of course…
Well done Australia!
The same reason why he was deported!
Great respect for Novak!
Just a power grab by a government that needs to be punished and held accountable for all the Nurmberg trial infractions they are breaking against humanity
The only aggressive action in Ukraine is on THE ACTION OF NATO(NORTH AMERICA TERRORISTS ORGANIZATIONS). The Russians are only afraid of the arms building up in Ukraine. It's remiinesant of the Cuban missle crisis of 1962.
Go-Go-Novak. You are the best player. I am your fan.
If the Australian rules are that athletes need to be vaccinated, then they need to be vaccinated! I love Djokovic as much as the next person but have no sympathy for him if he made a decision not to be vaccinated. Ergo, he made a decision not to play in the Australian Open.
No-Vax Djokovic: Guess he's not that good anyway. He missed some critical "shots."
The Australian Open is meaningless without Novak. Let us not forget Australia was barely fit to be an English Penal Colony. Keep vaccinating your species and watch the infections soar. Human stupidity truly is infinite!
nobody and I means nobody is above the rules he knew what he was doing good role model
Because of the economic crisis that always comes up the best thing to be on every wise individual’s mind or list is to invest in different streams of income that’s not depending on the government to generate funds
The winner of the event should surrender the reward to it's rightful owner. Cheaters never prosper…Oh how I wish that were true.
Very nice reporting
Maybe it's a good idea to shut down all International travel
Wait… there are tennis… fans?
A frozen or refrigerated vaccines are evidence of living cells and should be examined for cells and cell lines before injection to avoid cancer. This use of cell lines is a dangerous misconception of biotechnology popularized by George Bush administration claiming they were developing cell lines for medicine. A cell line is a cancer regardless of origin of the cells. A cell line is not embryonic cells or stem cells .A cell line is differentiated and cancer cells regardless of origin of the cells.
The winter surge is the reason public health department does not use quarantine. A quarantine actually increases transmission rate.
Public health know homework is destructive. If the vaccines are frozen or refrigerated they have to be examined for cells and cell lines before injection to avoid cancer cell line injection.
I don't understand how I protect public by being vaccinated? Virus will bounce out of my body? If not, then I can transmit virus to others?
If I had COVID and my immune system got antibodies, why would I need vaccination?
Did anybody compare graphics of COVID cases 2020 vs 2021 vs 2022? Are there any improvements? As I understand USA has more then 80% vaccinated people. And what happened with herd immunity?
Natural immunity is 13x stronger then vaccine immunity, this is foolish
Rules are Rules. DJOKOVIC LIED, IS STILL LYING AND THAT IS WHO HE IS A SWINDLER AND HUSTLER.
After hearing about the mother who locked her 13 year old son in the trunk of her car out of fear was he might carry the virus, and seeing the college professor who wore a space helmet to a zoom call, referring to his students as “vectors of disease” I can proudly be called a anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist.
“I don’t think he does anything for his public image.” Political sheep. 🙄
Maybe this guy deserves so much attention that climate refugees don't get and why they just get demonized. I've never heard of the dude till now and I couldn't care less.
Cant only vaccinated people travel?
EUA.. EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION remains in effect.. these Covid injections remain experimental until at least 2023..
At least there are still some people willing to stand for their principles, sorry going with the popular narrative doesn't count.
Australia, like any sovereign country, can decide who can come in or not.
Djokovic is persona non grata
The tennis player has antibodies if he had covid. The vaccine doesn't give you antibodies, it shows your immune system a piece of the virus and your own body creates antibodies.
Which do you, guys, like better, Delta or Omicron?
But if he can make money out of it
COPENHAGEN, Jan 19 (Reuters) – Tennis champion Novak Djokovic has an 80% stake of Danish biotech firm QuantBioRes, which is aiming to develop Covid vacines to counter COVID-19, the company's chief executive told Reuters on Wednesday.
The only fans that are divided are in Australia but not the rest of the world where the majority find Australia's action as an anomaly like the boycot of Olympic Games.
He is officially my favorite athlete.
First Australi will lose the court for $6 million, but that's peanuts compared to the billions they've just lose because Rio Tinto is being kicked out of Serbia.
That was a fake publicity stunt to just get free press coverage for the AO. Nothing more. They tricked you again! Yahhh
Oh stop with this crap people, He's already had covid so has natural antibodies. Why the hell would he take an experimental so called "vaccine" that doesn't stop you from getting or passing on the virus.
Global News helps out on Promoting Division
Who cares about public image real men care a peace of mind. 3 jabs still get,carry and transmit Covid so what’s the point it’s not even proven to really help symptoms 🐑🐑🐑
