Novak Djokovic says he’d rather skip Wimbledon and French Open than get a coronavirus vaccine
i admire him for having a stand on things even if it fucks his life>>
need more people like him.
need more people like him.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/tennis ... ar-AATSarFThe world’s top-ranked men’s tennis player, Novak Djokovic, said in an interview broadcast Tuesday that he had not been vaccinated against the coronavirus and was prepared to sacrifice playing in Grand Slam tournaments rather than be forced to take the shot.
In an interview with the BBC, the Serbian star said it was a “misconception” and “wrong conclusion” that he was part of the anti-vaccine movement, stating instead that he supported the freedom to choose.
“I was never against vaccination,” Djokovic said. “I understand that globally, everyone is trying to put a big effort into handling this virus … but I’ve always represented and always supported the freedom to choose what you put into your body and for me that is essential.”
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Agreed. It's good to see someone stand up for something they believe in, rather than being bullied by others to do something they feel is not right.
What, Me worry?

I'd say this is typical NIMBY behavior.
But he's got the balls to accept the (financial) consequences. Kudos for that.

Yeah, we really need more people like him.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I reckon he didn't have much choice but say that following the Aussie fiasco.. otherwise he'd have absolutely no integrity and lose face.

Or maybe he truly believes in freedom of choice and said it because of that and not because he's worried about losing face.Clutch Cargo wrote: ↑Tue Feb 15, 2022 9:55 pm I reckon he didn't have much choice but say that following the Aussie fiasco.. otherwise he'd have absolutely no integrity and lose face.

So he’s willing to skip the vaccine, making himself more susceptible but also putting everyone else’s lives in danger. He should be banned anyway.

The narrative that someone getting the vaccine protects others from infection in any meaningful way has crumbled.
I know far more vaccinated people who have been infected lately than unvaccinated people, probably because they’re the ones who are allowed to go out and socialize with others.
The only person the vaccine really protects is the person who gets it. Djokovic is only putting himself at risk, but then he’s not the type of person who is at any real risk from covid anyway. As far as I know, he’s already beaten the disease.
