Novak Djokovic gets medical pass to play in Australian Open

[Mac4Lyfe]

US is tough when you fly from overseas in the US. Have you ever flown to the US from overseas and try to go through immigration as a foreigner? It's worse than the spanish inquisition to try to pass through immigration.

So you are comparing apples with oranges. A rich foreigner with a **** flying on international flight with a passport vs a poor illegal immigrant with no passport that is smuggled in the country without going through legal points of entry.

Plus Australia is an island. It's a lot easier to walk into the USA.

but I agree that we should be tougher on immigration but it's very complicated. You want the bad elements out but you need the working migrants that put food on our tables working places entitled Americans would NEVER work.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Better than having someone living rent-free in your head.

Haha, you're posting in this thread just like everyone else. You're taking up for a liar and cheat. Who's head is he really in? I don't support scumbag elite assholes who think they are above the law.

You're an expert in being a stupid POS. Kill yourself

Wah, wah, wah. So easily triggered.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Vaccine mandate = 1

Antivax Covidiots = 0





Let's just wait to see how Novax gets into the US for Indian Wells and the US Open.

[manny24]

the US mandate fell change the scoreboard dumbfukk

[europe_baller]

Political fukking move doesnt have shit to do with being vaccinated..he shouldnt get medical exemption in the first place..joke of a country/decision.. still I dont support his decision not to get vaccinated but it is his decision…

[fried cheese]

I don't support scumbag elite assholes who think they are above the law.

didnt a judge rule that novak followed the law? from what ive read the australian gov is the one who thinks they are above the law. they just cancelled his v i s a because they felt like it.

"Today I exercised my power... to cancel the **** held by Mr Novak Djokovic on health and good order grounds, on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so," Immigration Minister Alex Hawke said in a statement.

[pavyracer]

You have to give credit to Joker. He chose his health than trying to win a tourney and risking his health. I'm vaccinated by choice but no one can demand from another healthy person to get vaccinated for something like a cold virus. It's a personal choice.

Australia embarrassed themselves with the way it handled it. You cant issue an exemption and then revoke it. Tell him to not come if the rules don't allow it but what they did is change the rules after he landed.

Not that complicated - finished building the WALL, reinstate remain in Mexico policy. Hire more border patrol agents and implement more technologies. Get Mexico working with us again on illegal immigration at the border.

That would be a good start which Trump was starting to do until your boy Biden took office and cancelled all that..

Go get a book called "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins

US fukked over a lot of Central and South American countries that resulted in their economies turning to shit

Think for a second, immigrating to a different country is a huge deal and last resort out of desperation

Building a wall isn't gonna solve anything

It would help greatly as illegals couldn't just walk thru open border wall areas like they are now by the hundreds daily unchecked with no resistance. A fully built border wall would help stop that and or least slow it down.

Common sense tells you this.

WTF are you talking about Pavy? Novax is risking his health BY NOT BEING VACCINATED. Why must you guys be so dumb? The vaccines are proven. You are spreading lies. Look at the now hundreds of athletes who have had Covid and how hard it was for them to recover. Some have had to retire because of Covid. We're talking elite athletes in the best shapes of their lives. Myles Garrett was out for a month last year, came back a shell of himself. Joel Embiid almost died and was out 6 weeks. Rudy Gobert, agent zero still does not have his taste or smell.

Fukk you and all the people who try to make not getting the vax into some hero, personal freedom shit. That's bullshit. Kyrie Irving is no hero, neither is Novax. They are the exact opposite. They are a smack in the face of the millions of people who have died and the tens of millions who have been impacted. EVERYONE needs to get vaxxed. I don't give a shit if everyone does but everyone needs to get vaxxed. Any other message is a fukkking lie.

Australia did the right thing. Kick that lying scumbag out of the country. They are not embarrassing themselves, Novax did. He's an attention whore, nothing more. How do you think he'll get in the US not vaccinated? Do you know he MUST be vaccinated to enter the US, just like damn near every other country on the planet? AU just happened to be first.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Everyone of you scumbags have been vaccinated for dozens of shit you don't even know about. You finally learn about this vaccine and you think you're medical experts. You are still dumb as rocks. Which is why we have to have rules to protect the dumb. Common sense is not so common, especially in this country.

You're going to build walls across Santa Monica beach too???

What?? Hell no he didn't follow the law. He had until 12/10 to apply for an exemption. He didn't do that. Instead he made up lies and Tennis Australia tried to cover up his lies. Thankfully the Australian government told him to fukk off. Take your lies somewhere else.


Dec. 10, 2021: The deadline to apply for a vaccine exemption to the Australian Open, in January 2022, comes and goes. Djokovic has been coy about his vaccination status throughout the fall, but sources tell Sports Illustrated that he hasn’t gotten the jab.
SI said: “At this writing, it is unclear whether Djokovic will enter … an event he has won nine times, now that the tournament has a vaccine mandate. This is a man, to mix sports metaphors, with an uncommon knack for scoring own goals.”
Dec. 16, 2021: Djokovic tests positive for COVID-19 for, at least, the second time, according to documents his lawyer will later share in court. He uses this as grounds to apply for an Australian Open medical exemption from the vaccine.
Jan. 5, 2022: Djokovic is granted an exemption from Australia’s vaccine mandate by Tennis Australia. Immediately, there is an uproar from within the Australian government. Prime Minister Scott Morrison says, “There should be no special rules for Novak Djokovic at all.”

[Mac4Lyfe]

Let's really take a look at this antivax asshole... Hopefully he gets shanked before getting out of Australia. Lying bastard has been killing people with his rhetoric.


May 7, 2020: In a livestream with the wellness guru Chervin Jafarieh, who has claimed that he can “use the scientific method to create alchemy,” Djokovic says he believes that positive thinking can detoxify water. This is not the first time Djokovic has expressed confidence in pseudoscience. In 2010 he famously said that his gluten intolerance was diagnosed when a nutritionist held a piece of white bread to his stomach and Djokovic felt himself getting weaker.



SI said: “It’s hard to look away from the Galaxy Brain–ness of it all. The omnipresence of a man who believes his gluten intolerance was diagnosed when he held a piece of white bread to his stomach, and who preaches his love for that kind of pseudoscience for all to hear.”
April 21, 2020: Djokovic declares that even if a COVID-19 vaccine was developed, he would be opposed to receiving it, saying on Facebook Live: “Personally, I am opposed to vaccination, and I wouldn’t want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel. … But if it becomes compulsory, what will happen? I will have to make a decision.”



SI said: Then a few days later he frittered away goodwill with his irresponsible position on vaccines and a regrettable choice of words, especially during a global pandemic.”



June 2020: While the ATP schedule goes on pause for what would last four months, Djokovic hosts a charity tennis tournament in Serbia and Croatia that leads to the infection of a number of ATP players. Backlash against the event grows after footage surfaces of Djokovic, Thiem, Alexander Zverev and Grigor Dimitrov dancing in a crowded Belgrade nightclub. On June 23, Djokovic becomes one of the first tennis stars known to have contracted COVID-19.



SI said: “Emboldened by his loyal supporters, and by now deeply convinced of his invincibility, he held a celebration throughout his land, a great, multiday traveling feast. He invited his friends and colleagues. The pandemic sweeping the world? Pah! This was an occasion to showcase his immunity, literally his immortality.”



Sept. 6, 2020: After laying low for a few months following the Adria Tour debacle, Djokovic enters the U.S. Open as the favorite—but he is defaulted in the fourth round after accidentally hitting a lineswoman with a ball between points.

that looks like those are tennis rules not law. if his exemption was not legal then why didnt they deport him for it? they lost their court case then just used the immigration ministers powers to deport him for the good of the country. they didnt deport him for some law he violated.

Who lost what court case?

The rules of law entering Australia is very clear. You must be vaccinated even as a citizen. Why would you expect less from a foreigner? No ax lied on his declaration. He also tried to get a medical exemption from Tennis Australia AFTEr the fact. Novak obviously thought the rules didn’t apply to him and that TA would get him in the country illegally.

Inbound international travel

Australia's border is gradually reopening. Fully vaccinated Australians and permanent residents can now travel into Australia. Find out what you need to be able to travel to Australia.




Vaccination

All inbound travellers must declare their vaccination status to enter Australia. Please see the proof of vaccination webpage for further information on the type of proof you need.


Australia Travel Declaration

All inbound passengers should complete an Australia Travel Declaration (ATD) prior to departure. Certain parts of the Australia Travel Declaration must be completed prior to departure, such as needing to declare your vaccination status. See the Department of Home Affairs website for more information.

[Mac4Lyfe]

These laws are no different than most countries. Try coming to the US without proof of vaccination. You cannot.

This dumbass went through all this shit because he thinks he’s a demigod. Who the Fukk tries to enter another country by not following well established written rules?

[JIBBBY]

You're going to build walls across Santa Monica beach too???

Sure why not. Walls every where. Keep em all out I say and even by sea. That's what the coast guard is for!!

Fix your own Countries and don't come in by the millions and change our demographics, clog our public schools and steal all the low income jobs and not pay taxes.

How are they going to fix their own countries when the US has been the most responsible for their decline? Do you think it's by accident countries like Haiti was the wealthiest country in the world until the US destroyed them economically?

Do you know how much it would cost to build a wall across Los Angeles beaches? Wouldn't it be easier and smarter to use that money to help build up those countries? Everyone is crying about inflation right now. Do you really want to know what a loaf of bread would cost if migrant workers couldn't cross the border each day to work??? There is a reason why our borders are not totally secure and it has nothing to do with a wall. The powers to be need people to get across. You even think of that???

I don't want my tax dollars to go to fix other Countries when it could go to fix our own. I see pot holes in the streets and homeless everywhere.

America first!!!

Starts by shutting down illegal immigration and shutting down our borders. Let the poor Countries and people rise up against big corrupt Government and have their own revolutions. America had to do that against England back in the day. No other rich and powerful foreign Country helped America get started!!

[pavyracer]

Lol about building walls around the US and all beaches. You need maybe 20,000 miles of walls. And what do you do at the rivers?

You know what beats the wall? A ladder. Every city and country that build walls throughout history was defeated by ladders.

You missed my post. America is the major reason those countries are poor.

You don't want tax dollars to go to fix other countries while you cry everyday about immigrants squatting right next to you??? You spend every damn day in here bitching about immigration and your solution is to just shut down illegal immigration and shut down our borders. Yeah, that's a great solution.

I have a degree in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics

Covid vaccine isn't a vaccine. It's a gene therapy. It doesn't have any weakened or dead virus like the traditional vaccines

I'm trying to protect the brainwashed morons but once brainwashed, sadly truth doesn't matter at this point

[Mac4Lyfe]

Would like to bet 200 betpoints that he will not be deported. Any takers, keyboard warriors?

I'll take that bet. That liar is about to get his comeuppance. Can't wait.

Pinocchio, oh Pinocchio, wherefore are thou?

Getting points/money from you Covidiots is like shooting fish in a barrel. Do you guys ever get tired of losing? Here's a tip for most of you Covidiots. Whatever, whenever you think about something... DO THE EXACT FUKKKING OPPOSITE.

^ Mac and Pavy you boys are hopeless. I give up.

Ok walls suck and don't ever work. Fences and gates suck around your houses also. Front doors all should remain open on all homes also in America.

Yet you are still dumb as a box of rocks. Have you spent any time in a hospital? Do you have friends? Vaccine, not a vaccine, what's your point? You say you have a degree but you either are misinformed or are purposely lying when you say MRNA is gene therapy. It is not. Do you even know the fukking definition of gene therapy Mr. molecular genetic???

It's pretty simple to see that vaccines work. I can tell you about hundreds of people unvaccinated who have died. I know of very few who died vaccinated. A local Houston hospital near me had 382 people die last year from Covid. 373 were unvaccinated, and NONE died who had booster shots.

Do you really think Trump would get vaxxed and boosted? Follow the wealthy and do what they're doing.

Who lost what court case?

The judge hearing Novak Djokovic's challenge to an order by the Australian government revoking his entry **** has dramatically overturned the decision.


Lawyers for Djokovic argued that the 20-time Grand Slam winner entered the country on the understanding that his exemption from restrictions requiring travellers to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 was valid.


Nick Wood told the court that the exemption had been granted to the player by two separate medical boards following a recent coronavirus infection and that he had presented all the necessary medical evidence to officials.


"He had done absolutely everything. He had engaged with everything that was required of him by Tennis Australia," Mr Wood said.


Judge Kelly appeared to agree with Mr Wood's argument and told government lawyers that he felt "agitated" by what he had heard so far.


"What more could this man have done?" he asked.
