They can't leave Australia. And he can't play in the Australian open 2022 tennis tournament. Dictatorship. He'll just have to wait this one out. 14 days. Or 10 days. Or 5 days. I don't know.
Australia has a very clear process for requesting a vaccine exemption. He chose not to do that before getting on the plane and knowingly did not follow the rules for entering the country that absolutely anyone else arriving in Australia has to follow.
How is that like being treated as a terrorist? He could leave at any time.
When visiting any country, you play be their rules.
Australia’s quarantine requirement has been very clear.
Serbia is absolutely correct. Unfortunately, Djokovic is getting the same treatment many others have received at the hands of the tyrants running Australia.
I'm afraid Australia has been permanently removed from my bucket list. I won't take a chance on getting locked up indefinitely over "public health" paranoia and extremism.
Best you remove Hawaii from the list, too.
It continues to require visitors to quarantine for X days.
It is an island state, 2500 miles from US mainland. It’s healthcare system is limited.
Same deal in Canada and Israel and others.
Many countries restrict entries to those who are fully vaccinated and have a negative test.
And a few countries outright ban visitors from the US.
Yes - but that is not an acceptable reason for a vaccine waiver.
"Djokovic, who has said he is opposed to vaccination, had been granted by tennis authorities a medical exemption to play in the tournament, endorsed by the Victorian state government - which his lawyers say was on the basis that he had a bout of Covid confirmed by a PCR test on 16 December.
But upon arrival at Melbourne Airport, the tennis player's visa was apparently cancelled by border officials who said that under federal rules a prior infection was not a valid reason to enter without a vaccination."
Novak has Celiac disease so I wonder if that's the reason for his exemption. He's very careful about his diet and exercises constantly, so I can understand why he doesn't want to risk vaccine injury. Research all the athletes who died from suspected vaccine injury.
According to some, any death within X after being vaccinated is related to the vaccine. This include deaths during trials despite the deceased being given a placebo.
Nearly 10 billion doses of vaccine have been given globally.
No certainty about the durability of immunity derived from a previous infection against newer variants.
Trump and wife were vaccinated 3 months after being infected. Trump was hospitalized and treated with antibodies too. He also chose to get a booster.
Reasonable to assume he receives the best medical attention in the world, including periodic antibody testing.
Natural immunity according to the "real" scientific experts (not Falsechi) is much stronger compared to a person who was vaxxed.
And what does Novak have to do with Trump? Last I knew Novak is the #1 tennis player in the world and I enjoy watching him as I always enjoy watching tennis.
