Novak Djokovic could be denied entry to Australia, says PM amid backlash over exemption
Australia’s prime minister has plunged Novak Djokovic’s appearance at the Australian Open into uncertainty, warning the world No 1 must provide acceptable proof that he cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons. Australians reacted with fury after the world No 1 Djokovic was granted a medical exemption from vaccination against Covid-19 in order to play at this month’s tournament. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/novak-djokovic-granted-medical-exemption-to-play-in-australian-open-dx6gss525 a man who really knows how to make himself popular ![]() |

'Australians react angrily'
doctor Stephen Parnis: "I don't care how good a tennis player he is. If he's refusing to get vaccinated he shouldn't be allowed in. If this exemption is true it sets an appalling example to millions seeking to reduce #Covid19Aus risk to themselves & others.#Vaccination shows respect, Novak." |
By:
Djokovic isn’t Australian and doesn’t need to be in Australia
Therefore whether he has some medical exemption reason is neither here nor there he shouldn’t be allowed in |
By:
It's not just Djokovic.. Multiple tennis\sports stars have exemptions
I've 3 it anyone wants 1. ![]() Kazakhstan dan .. Hypocrite of the week.. ![]() only be possible in “exceptional circumstances if you have an acute medical condition”. Bite me |

Lol
And the ****how rolls on in the worlds largest penal colony Djoko shouldn't have to prove **** It's a private matter Why he should even want to go there is beyond me Nothing to prove Aussie gov need their entrails removed |
By:
It's a private matter
only if he stays out of Australia - if he wants to visit other countries he has to abide by their rules agree though he should stay away from Australia if he won't get vaccinated - and the UK as well. Thanks. |
By:
If he is allowed to play it will finally ruin his reputation if he doesn't give the reason for his "medical exemption", There will be a strong suspicion he has other drugs in his system with which the vaccine might clash. Not that I believe it given that Djokovic has always struck me as having the personality of a saint.

maybe being treated for asthma - which these days is a requirement for most top sportspeople

Could be that, but could be that he just has principles he is prepared to stand up for, and he can afford to do so.

By:
I don’t think it’s principled to pretend to have a medical exemption
In any event exemptions are not meant for that purpose |

Ive pretended all alone so i dont have to wear a face mask

That’s going about your daily life ,that may be fine or not it’s a matter of opinion - not playing tennis in Australia
|
By:
The Tennis body clearly want him in their tournament and might have offered him a dodgy way in, the PM seems to have scuppered that. Greece got into the EU in a similar manner.

By:
Apparently in Australia if you have had COVID in the last 6 months you can be medically exempt from vaccination.
|
By:
Completely understand why an elite athlete wouldn't take the vaccine however bending the rules to allow him in is a different matter.
|
By:
Although this isn't really anything new. Elite sports people have been travelling the globe throughout this pandemic while us mere mortals have been locked down.
|
By:
He knows the vaccine and pandemic is all BS. I feel for him, I wouldn't want to disclose private medical information, no matter how many stranger's lives are put at risk, even though that isn't actually what's happening.
|
By:
He might not kill anybody directly but he would likely be the cause of 1000s of deaths as people think if he can't be bovvered why should I.
|
By:
You think people would give up a slavish acceptance to be jabbed because of one man? Not very likely is it. As for thousands of deaths from omicron as a result of that unlikely happening, well..............

He knows the vaccine and pandemic is all BS. Djokovic also thinks you can make toxic water safe with the power of your positive thoughts. |
By:
He tends to hang out with...uhm...spiritual figures.

By:
He knows the vaccine and pandemic is all BS.
he's against all vaccines. his wife thinks covid might be caused by 5g. the couple should post on here - maybe they already do. |
By:
They both have 500 forum names imo.

Djokovic is skippy his vacc
|
By:
Hes being threatened with none entry?
|
By:
Let's quit pretending that the vaccine is the be all and end all.

Really disappointed in Australia. Used to bang on about their rugged pioneer spirit. Turns out they are more sheepish than us.
|
By:
They have a reputation in sport not actual society, they’re actually quite wimpish in general
They might have a good gob on them out on the cricket field but they dont back it up in a fight as they cant fight. Id be more wary of a yank in a bar than an Aussie |

it is a matter of crucial national security that this man gets a vaccine that stops transmission by 40%!

By:
"a man who really knows how to make himself popular"
Novak has been trying to ingratiate himself to fans for years they still hate him they can all **** off |
By:
Maybe just the end all part Mubey
Sure, cases are still sky high amongst the vaxxed, experts backtracking on what they said about the vax and talks of a 4th jab. Also a message to all Aussies outraged atm, keep complying idiots. |

Reacted with fury? What did they do shout “mate”
