I distinctly remember when Djokovic got on the plane to Australia for a big tennis event last year - he tweeted something about his unvaccinated self heading to Down Under. Had a feeling then that he would be made an example, and he was. The tennis powers-that-be coalesced and decided to deny him entry whenever possible. It’s truly shameful, especially now. I also suspect that - had he stayed quiet - he would have been allowed entry into various countries that have special exceptions (and those exemptions are out there though not widely publicized). I have to admire his courage and willingness to speak out.

I agree that he was banned because he has a totally unfair advantage of not dropping dead on the tennis court over his competition.

He is #1 for his courage and conviction. I will not watch any tennis since all the other cowards who vaxxed won't support him. I have no sympathy for them. If they had shown some moral conviction and said it is wrong to punish a person for not choosing to vaxx, all these mandates and covid theater would have ended. They have contributed to the state of affairs we find the world in right now.

You nailed it! And that goes for every professional sport. Football and Baseball (although I think the NBA is completely lost to the CCP). None of them had the balls of steel to stand up and do the right thing! They could’ve helped end this but they are over paid cowards. I didn’t expect much since the majority decided to kneel during the National Anthem and spit on America anyway.

Aaron Rogers is the only one I hear STILL speaking up about his refusal to inject. So kudos to him for that. If it weren’t for how much money he brings in they would’ve cancelled his a$$ from the first TRUTH he told.

Shameful!

I saw more courage from grandmas and grandpas, moms and dads who would be fired, kids who just wanted to go to college and gave it up, and military members who had everything to lose, than of any athlete, celebrity, politician, billionaire or millionaire.

Standing ovation 👏 👏 to the former and shameful disgust 💩 to the latter.

But don't you think it's kinda weird that few American football or basketball players have dropped dead on the field/court, unlike so many others have, in other countries? I personally think the American players weren't given the same vax. What with America kinda being the epi-center of the vax hesitancy movement, it wouldn't serve their purposes well to have that happen here. Maybe, in time, we'll see it happen. It's the same with the bigger Hollywood stars...only a few minor celebs have been affected, that I've heard of anyway.

Sunnydaze's avatar

You are correct. And it could very well be true.

I also throw out that a lot of them never got it at all-but got fake cards. Also, guys as big as Aaron Rogers that said NO (but were too afraid to speak up publicly) and were given a pass quietly so as not to disturb the other players and their hesitancy. They made an example out of some to instill fear.

While there are a lot of deaths, it is still unclear why some and not others??? I’ve heard different batches had differing ingredients. True? I don’t know. Because there is no liability to these evil sinister unhumans. They have been able to lie and hide everything for two years.

Some American athletes (football) have had SADS. Until it is all compiled together, we won’t know how big it is and how many people died as a result of the injection.

Plus, they are onto the whole premise of releasing cause of death. So now they are eluding that with no longer releasing that info. Which only leaves the question, what are they hiding? And why?

Honestly, I think releasing cause of death shouldn’t be a thing anyway. It’s nobody’s business why someone died, other than family and who they want to share it with. But we’ve been conditioned to think it’s our business. So now….since we expect it, and it’s standard practice….we wanna know why they are suddenly hiding it?

ConcernedGrammy's avatar

I would normally agree with the "none of your business" opinion, but not in the times we live in now. Having the world's population injected with a completely new technology never before used on humans, that failed the early preliminary animal trials, with bastardized data used to get an EUA, while suppressing existing, safe and early treatments, I believe everyone should be privy to this clinical data, as this is exactly what it is. Both Pfizer and Moderna are still in clinical trials until Mar 2023 and some trials are even longer. Who else is keeping tabs?

Expand full comment
Sunnydaze's avatar

I should’ve said more clearly that in the PAST I think it was nobody’s business. I don’t feel that way anymore. The public should know cause of death now since much of the public was forced to inject themselves with an experimental poison, threatened to inject themselves, and discriminated against. They should have to let the data out!

Novak (No vax) Djokovic is a smart man. He is extremely particular about everything he puts into his body including the water he drinks.

He could easily get a fake vax card and I admire him for not doing that. I believe many others have gotten fake vax cards.

He stands by his beliefs and will not succumb to pressure.

Sadly, many others in tennis (and in other sports) have suffered from the covid shots.

Alice - what was happening to Dimitrov out there sure looked awfully familiar to me…and I say that as someone with POTS. Vaccine induced autonomic neuropathy/POTS is *not* a new phenomenon and it seems to be happening a lot with this vaccine from what I’m seeing. My neurologist, who is just an autonomic neuropathy/POTS specialist, is suddenly scheduled out roughly a year for new patients and is so overrun I heard he closing to new patients also soon. They were talking about cases during this years Dysautonomia International Conference, which I was pleasantly surprised they were actually willing to admit and discuss in todays healthcare climate, if you know what I mean. Neurologists cannot deny it’s happening with this jab because it’s been happening prior to COVID. Approximately 6% people with POTS it was vaccine induced. Now, there will be Neurologists and doctors that *will* deny it was vaccines and certainly this vaccine because they are biased. The doctor who won the award for doctor of the year did prior studies on the HPV vaccine inducing POTS and had to deal with a lot of kickback for it apparently.

Imagine if he had been given an exemption to come into the US to play. What would the motivation be? Why would he be let in when nobody else who is unvaxxed is let in? As pissed as I am now that my family is not allowed to travel here, I would be even more livid if they quietly let unvaxxed "elites" in. It's good that they aren't giving exemptions for people like Novak, because it's creates awareness of the discrimination and really demonstrates the sacrifices that he and others have to make to stand up for their beliefs. Most people wouldn't even know that unvaxxed non-US citizens are barred from the US if it wasn't for high profile cases like Novak. So I'm happy he wasn't given an exemption.

Been a Novak fan a long time as well as Nadal and Fed. So sad at Nadal for comments to just get the jab. I love watching that clip where Novak says (paraphrase) his right to decide what he puts in his body is more important than the chance to be number 1. He radiates morals and courage. I am literally the last one standing without the jab in my family (sisters, their families and mine along w most of my in-laws w only one left and 2 nieces)

I won’t budge tho either. Just received a sarcastic remark yesterday about how I’m missing out on travel w family. So in a family where almost everyone follows tennis, Novak’s stance is very visible. Big ripple effect. Bravo! 👏 🙌

I don't want to argue, and am open to the possibilities of what you're suggesting. Lord knows what is possible these days, every day we turn around... It's all somewhat fascinating and horrifying. Maybe you're some super data person. I'm not, so again, just trying to talk it through here in comments. Not always easy.

Meanwhile, I've been in Italy for years and how it spread here made some sense. Through some research I did, it appeared that there were larger Chinese immigrant populations in north Italy where it started. Then it spread from there in what seems a natural manner. I can't prove this, I'm going by memory of being here when it happened.

Your points - I don't trust the JHopkins map for a real sense of where it started, just where it started getting reported and thus tracked. Am I right?

The rest of your points, I don't know. If planes were shut down, when was that vs when this was spread by planes? And what was spread? Because the other thing in C&C was about a vaccine being put in the air via planes.... Another point - not sure what PM25 is. Maybe you're right. A new question - weren't there other points of spread besides those two cities at roughly the same time?

Hence the “polio epidemic,” when kids couldn’t even go to their local municipal pool for a swim...

Apparently it is parvo. They are looking into why the rapid tests were negative, possibly insufficient sensitivity.

Quick clarification: Djokovic is banned to enter the US because of the Government Travel Ban for the unvaccinated foreign nationals. Maybe the US open could have helped him with an exemption, but the rule is still coming out of the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/proof-of-vaccination.html#faq. Jeff, I'm very interested in your opinion about this: CDC clearly contradicts itself now with upholding this rule! I'm refreshing this website every day, this is very personal to me because my boyfriend and I are forcefully distanced, as he can't return to the States with his fully valid work visa because of his unvaxxed status... He had to leave to Italy to take care of his father who is ill, and now he's stuck. Given this, I'm voting to keep the title Coffee & Covid, until after the last mandate has been lifted. #No(Wo)ManLeftBehind :)

Yes, this!!! We are also separated from family by this ridiculous contradiction. Was very much hoping that the recent announcements by the CDC would have an effect on travel. What’s taking so long?!

Sorry about that, hope you'll reunite soon!

One guess I have is about banning citizens of certain countries. The CDC restriction also applies to kinds of vaccines: only travelers that have got WHO-approved vaccines are eligible, so that leaves out Russian, some Chinese and maybe also Indian-produced vaccines and therefore citizens of these countries who haven't gotten out of their way to get a WHO-approved shot. So US now blocks the influx of these travelers without explicitly banning entry for these countries.

If Trump had done this the media would’ve been calling him a Xenophobe.
