Novak Djokovic gets medical pass to play in Australian Open

[thomorino]

why would he fake a pcr test when he could just fake a vaccination card?

Its not that easy to fake a vaccination card if they are checking, they can just contact th hospital or medical care provider

[Wrongside]

You can't force someone to get vaccinated for a cold. This is getting stupid now. Australians are going to regret this.

Is it a vaccination, though? We need to find things we can agree on during these decisive times. This might be a good one...This 'vaccine' is very different than most of the vaccines I am familiar with...

[Pinocchio]

Is this real? Federer does not know that being vaccinated does not change the likelihood of contracting the virus? Unreal. I guess that's why there are so many infections these days everywhere... people get vaccinated and think they can't get it (and stop using masks & practicing physical distancing), in reality they can get it just the same, except it won't hurt them the same, if they do.

Wrong and wrong. Being vaccinated reduces your chance of contracting Covid and you are better protected of getting it over someone not vaccinated. Is it foolproof? No. But it does work.

Do read this article, especially the (hotlinked) studies.

Meanwhile in Australia: 80%+ vaccination rate and 35.000 - 70.000 new cases a day (rising so quickly, tomorrow it could be 200.000).

The left always tries to scare people by using the word cases. If you test positive but have no symptoms it's not a case.

All that matters is hospitalizations and deaths, positive tests by themselves are irrelevant.

Do you know what efficacy means? What does 90% efficacy means for 26 million people in Australia?

The article is written by a journalist. Did you read the following?

I must emphasize that vaccinated people are several times less likely to be infected by Delta than unvaccinated people. As a result, they must still be less likely to transmit COVID than an unvaccinated person. Once infected, however, it appears to be a different story.


Of course vaccinated people can still get Covid (just at a much lower rate than unvax). Of course once infected you can infect others. What's your point? And what does any of it have to do with rules in Australia? Do you want to create the rules for that country?

[JIBBBY]

Scuba diving and snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef in Australia is on my bucket list. I may have to scratch that off the list soon.

its no wonder the government can so easily take away all our freedom. probably only a tiny percentage of americans even believe in free speech now.

You are crazy if you think you are free to do whatever the fukk you want to do in this country (USA). You were never totally free to act an ass, commit crimes against others, go naked in the streets, park your tank in front of your house, fish without a license, smoke crack rock cocaine, not use a crosswalk, fly on a plane without ID, beat your wife and kids, masturbate in public, own a gambling or whore house, etc.

about the only thing you can do here is buy as many guns as you can afford.

[Mac4Lyfe]

now Joker claims he got covid on December 16, but the cut off was december 10 to report that. Every few hours more information is coming out and some contradict eachother

in the end, just wait until they officially make a final ruling on the appeal

If he tested positive on the 16th then he should be arrested for knowingly appearing at an event handing out awards, taking pictures, hugging, shaking hands with EVERYONE unmasked. I know he's a total dick and if he knew he had Covid and did this then wow!

This is me assuming., but it is not a crazy idea to believe these numbers will be even more stark, or even-out, with the advent of Omicron + so many vaccinated people not being boosted (further away from their last shot).

[Mac4Lyfe]

Cases will always go up after major holidays and large superspreader events. Covid is here to stay.

BUT, it's to the point where if you are vaccinated, the chances of hospitalization and death is extremely low. That's the main point. As long as thousands are not getting sick, filling up hospital beds and dying, we can get back to normal. Unfortunately, there's still a large number of unvaxxed people that are filling up the hospitals and dying. Not until they get with the program or die off will we be able to move on from this.

obviously i dont think we are free. i already said the gov took our freedom and we are on a site for things that are crimes without a victim. im just sad that most ppl dont even think we should have freedom anymore.

Who the fukk does Joker think he is to question a country? WTF? Follow the rules or go somewhere else to play. Trying to equate this to Nazi Germany is an affront to all the Jews who had to face that regime. It's an appalling comparison.

The vaccines are all gluten free. The ingredients are very well known. Moderna has been working on these vaccines for over a decade.

The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine is made of the following ingredients:

• mRNA – Like the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine, Moderna’s also uses mRNA technology to build antibodies against COVID-19.

• Lipids – The Moderna vaccine also requires lipids to help deliver the mRNA to the cells.
  • SM-102
  • 1,2-dimyristoyl-rac-glycero3-methoxypolyethylene glycol-2000 [PEG2000-DMG]
  • cholesterol
  • 1,2-distearoyl-snglycero-3-phosphocholine [DSPC]

The remaining ingredients (below), including acids, acid stabilizers, salt and sugar all work together to maintain the stability of the vaccine after it’s produced.

• Acids
  • Acetic acid

• Acid Stabilizers
  • Tromethamine & Tromethamine hydrochloride

• Salts
  • Sodium acetate

• Sugar
  • Sucrose

he's world #1

you are a pathetic obese habitual liar with sleep apnea and aversions to basic hygiene

your problems start with owning a toothbrush

vaccine ingredients least of your worries tank a$$

[shari91]

Just to be clear about Australia’s rising numbers: it was made a rule that all you need for a federal pandemic payment now is to report a positive RAT. Also in several states, including the two largest, they’re discouraging people from going to PCR test sites due to lengthy wait times and lack of staff due to isolation requirements. So instead you have people racing around the city trying to find very scarce and often overpriced RATs which we’re then supposed to self-report our results to a crashed website or phone line that you can’t get through.

This is the reality of what’s going on here and maybe will help shed some light on why there is zero tolerance for those who try to flaunt the rules. Actual citizens can barely comply or get shit straight but are trying for the most part. Don’t come in as a guest and think you’ll be welcomed with open arms if you don’t follow the requirements. Again ask Johnny Depp, Amber Heard and Hilary Swank for a start.

That looks amazing!

It looks amazing because they photoshopped the sharks and salt water crocodiles out of the picture.

LOL absolutely untrue. That’s where we spent the day before my wedding and it was the most beautiful experience I’ve ever had. And I’m not a big nature kind of gal.

I cried the majority of the time with how beautiful it was and the sea life I saw upclose was amazing. If any of you get the chance to come here and do it, please try to! It’ll blow your mind, I promise

Liberals don't like facts or numbers. Masks don't work either. You breath out the sides of them. Think about that!

I ran into a Karen today picking up my Lexus at the shop while I was inside the office paying my repair bill. My mask was below my nose because it fogs up my prescription shades that I wear. The Karen called me out on it and I was across the office from her. I was about to say something to the Karen but just raised my mask and let it slide.

No need to cause a scene but I so wanted to put her in her place, she was double masked by the way!!

A lot of tourists here this week from Chicago & NYC. I wonder if the world will come off its axis because they don't have to mask in Florida....

Always curious about when they go home, why they submit to the tyranny again without objections? Florida has the same population centers, same mass transit, same travel/ tourism, more sports and entertainment venues and the oldest population demographic in the western hemisphere yet 3 years of a 'live life free' approach has, undoubtedly and undeniably, worked better than the approach taken by the Democrats in blue cities & State, and liberals in Countries like Canada, Germany or in this case, Australia.

It's just mind boggling how liberals refuse to look at facts or admit they're wrong.

Florida rocks and is doing Covid mandates the right way. NONE!! Numbers show in Florida that it's working just living life normal and with Covid. Masks and panic attacks by the far left doesn't fix anything and only makes things worse in society.

Get your vax shots if you are old and or fat and then live life normally after is the answer. Healthy and or young people do what you want. Natural immunity is KING!! Covid is NEVER going away and we need to get it and live with it eventually.

California is backwards with all that where I live . Australia the same and even worse!!! Madness!!

Covid Variants will always spring up in the future no matter where you live or how many shut downs and masks you wear or how many booster shots you get.

I put them all in there place when it comes to masks. Cops told me to put it on when I rode the trax train. I told them no. They didn't do anything after that lol.

Hey Jibbby,

Florida has 22 million people and 62k deaths, and are currently losing about 50 people a day based on 7 day average.

Australia has 26 million people and 2k deaths, and are currently losing 9 people a day based on 7 day average.


Do you like those factual numbers?

Seems some people, left or right, feel the need to lie constantly about numbers. Probably as they have zero real numbers or facts to use...

Again, age breakdown of Florida population vs Australian population? I bet Florida is HEAVILY weighted toward the 70+ demographic.

Thats an absurd comment because you have to take into account the significant demographic differ nces between the state of Florida and the country of Australia.

Florida has an enormous percentage of people over the age of 65 since the state has many large retirement communities.

The proper comparison is to look at the percentage of people over the age of 65 who have died in Florida and compare that number to the same demographic in Australia.

If you that Florida despite not shutting down or trampling on civil liberties like Australia has done jist as well as that country.

It's absurd to compare a country that has 20 percent of their population over the age of 65 to a state that has nearly 40 percent of their population over the age of 65.

[thomorino]

And if you are going to completely shutdown society the way Australia frequently has you can't just look at covid deaths to say your actions were successful. You have to look at miss d cancer screenings, poverty, mental illness, suicide, nothing in life is free.

[Optional]

What is absurd is the comment I was responding about Thomorino!



And @Jacketfan... once again, I did not bring up Florida as the comparison.

FirstClass brought up Florida v Australia last time.

MinniFatty brought up the Florida comparison this time. See below.

Or at any of those protests where people just told the police to eff off.


I'd bloody love to see you try that shit in Melbourne.
