The Australian Open is due to be held in January next year, but the state of Victoria, where the tournament will take place, has declared that unvaccinated players won’t be allowed to compete. However, world number one player Novak Djokovic risks losing the chance to defend the title by refusing to disclose his vaccination status, continuing to publicly support freedom of choice over vaccine passports. The Independent has more.
World number one Novak Djokovic has reiterated his stand about freedom of choice over taking the Covid vaccine as suspense grows over his participation at the Australian Open in January.
Djokovic has repeatedly declined to disclose his vaccination status and said last month that he was unsure if he would defend his title at Melbourne Park, “things being as they are”. Government officials of the state of Victoria, where the major takes place in Melbourne, have said unvaccinated players will be barred from the tournament.
Tennis maverick Nick Kyrgios said on his podcast this week that he was “double-vaxxed” but did not think it was right to force anyone, let alone athletes, to get vaccinated. Responding to the comments from Kyrgios, who has criticised Djokovic on numerous occasions in the past for various reasons, the Serbian said: “that was unexpected knowing what was coming from him towards me in the last couple of years.
“But this time I must agree with him that the freedom of choice is essential for everyone, whether it’s me or somebody else,” the 34 year-old told reporters in Turin, where he is competing at the season-ending ATP Finals.
“Doesn’t really matter whether it’s vaccination or anything else in life. You should have the freedom to choose, to decide what you want to do. In this particular case, what you want to put in your body.”

Nobody’s business but his.
Just like Aaron Rogers, quarterback for the Green Bay Packers did not take the vaxx, got covid, had early treatment and has immunity. His body his choice. Good for him!
Of course the bought MSM is trying to make him out as an irresponsible person, but we know the reality.
The loyal Wisconsin Green Bay Packers fans support his choice. Good for them.
Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures EXIST. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
I see Sergio Aguero (FC Barcelona) has suddenly got heart arrhythmia. 33 years old. Wonder why?
Djokovic and particularly his wife were held up for ridicule by all mainstream media at the start of this last year for going against the tide of BS, they should be applauded for sticking to their guns.
If more world recognised personalities/sports people had spoken up this madness could have been stopped in it’s tracks but most have keep their heads down , because money talks.
No media coverage of the unprecedented numbers of top athletes keeling over post vax, funny that .
Respect for him doing this. My guess is he is vaccinated (but has he had a booster, eh?) but whose right is it to know when being vaccinated doesn’t change the fact you are at risk from contact with him. If the vaccine is any good, it will protect an individual from getting seriously ill. That is where the onus is.
it’s weird for me because I got my two jabs by May. Boris said do so or we wouldn’t get any pudding. So for months, even as advocated for personal freedom, I did so as a fully vaccinated (and one time “sufferer of a Covid infection) individual. Well this healthy and trim 51 year old won’t be getting a booster. So suddenly I have become one of those who I have been defending. Weird. It’s almost like if you don’t stick to your principles one day the advance of the government will knock on your door. How did we get here?
I think you are wrong. Djokovic got covid last summer at a tennis tournament he organised – he was lambasted in the media for this because there were photos published of some of the players dancing in close proximity at the end of tournament party.
He has access to high calibre medical services and having had it and recovered from it, I would find it very hard to understand that any medic he consulted would have advised him to trash his hard won natural immunity by taking a rushed through jab, particularly when no one can say for certain what it would do inside his body, thus potentially jeopardising his career.
We need other players and other high profile people to take the same stance as him. His body, his choice, his right to keep his medical data private.
I too strongly doubt he’s been vaxxed. He’s a health nut and probably quite stubborn.

Sweden falls.
Need some legal advice. I was just refused treatment by a dentist because I refused to wear a mask when walking between the reception and the treatment room. I said I was exempt – they asked me for proof and then refused to see me when I refused to show them proof, informing them that they are by law not allowed to ask me for this. Was I correct? Do I have any recourse? Can anyone recommend a lawyer? I’m not going to drag their name through the mud yet. Holding that in reserve.
My dentist made no objection to my not wearing a mask, either in waiting room or while walking to treatment room, just accepted when I said I didn’t wear a mask. Sorry you had such a problem and hope someone can advise you – are you in England as I imagine the rules are a bit different in Scotland and Wales?
I was maskless at the dentist in Scotland a few weeks ago. No one said a word. I’ve hardly ever been challenged for not wearing one. I think most folk would rather not wear one, but when you’ve accepted the whole narrative about how deadly other people are, it’s difficult to take a definite step that goes against the flow.
This page explains all the details about the mask / exemption business.

Some guy faced similar acts by an airline, and made claims of damages totally £100,000. The airline settled for £12,000 and supposedly upated their procedures.

Dentists are overpaid parasites, much like a great part of the ‘health’ industry. Take them for a full drill down.
I wonder when the Germans and Austrians are going to open camps for the unvacced?
Can’t be long given their history.
Mind you, looking at the increase in gas prices, maybe they’ve started already?
Germanic people are nice in normal times but seem to be very efficient and obedient Order Followers. At the end of the day the tyrants give the orders but it is the Order Followers who are ultimately guilty for the genocide as they personally do the killing. Did the likes of Stalin and Ho Chi Minh ever kill personally?
You can guarantee one thing, when the camps open it will all be ‘mistake’ and ‘conspiracy’ to many on this site.
According to my nephew who is living in Dusseldorf at the moment, they are not at all efficient and the bureaucracy is horrendous. It took him a couple of months to get broadband installed in his apartment and he had to give up trying to register his car so he could use it over there as they wanted so much paperwork, going right back to its manufacture pretty much which of course he didn’t have. But they are very obedient order followers in his view, like you say.

Couldn’t stand him before, but he’s gone right up in my estimations now.
So a typical argument in favour of vaccine passports goes something like this:
“You’re worried about adverse side effects? Well, just look at the info leaflet in a pack of Ibuprofen, for instance, and you’ll see that the list of side effects from the regular taking of anti-inflammatory easily matches that of the Covid vaccinations.”
Right, so therefore Ibuprofen is made available to be taken at the user’s discretion and the doctor’s advice. Put simply, you absolutely cannot make something in any way mandatory or a requirement for living a normal life, if it has the risk of causing death or severe harm no matter how unlikely that is.
So if vaccine-related deaths amount to something like one in a million (don’t know the real figure, but for argument’s sake), then sure, they should be made available to anyone who considers the benefits to be greater than the risks to themselves. But would it be ethical to enforce a million people to play a game of Russian Roulette using a gun with one bullet and a million chambers?
At least 1 in 24,000, as this figure is subject to under-reporting so could be several times higher. Also recent VAERS data has shown that the the under 18s are more susceptible to adverse vaxx reactions than adults. Put another way, when you vaxx a million people 40 will die, as sure as lining them up against a wall and shooting them – and that does not include other side effects or the long term impact of becoming a spike protein factory.
look at figure 1 in this new ONS report. Chance of testing positive for triple jabbed is very very similar to those with previous covid. Both around 20% chance compared to unvax+never infected.
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/bulletins/coronaviruscovid19infectionsurveycharacteristicsofpeopletestingpositiveforcovid19uk/17november2021
previous infection will be far lower than that because this category includes people who never got over the initial infection. they find it hard to remove those people and sometimes use ‘had to have 3 negatives and wait a month’ or similar but I don’t think they have here. other data shows genuine reinfection to be miniscule

The headline should be
Novak Djokovic Continues to Support Freedom of Choice and not disclose His Vaccination Status
The word hide has implications that he is doing something wrong. Would we say someone who didn’t disclose their disability was hiding their disability?
Very good point!
I won a competition to go Wimbledon and Centre Court back in the 90s. Novak was just starting out then. I thought at the time he’d go far. Well, he certainly has in my estimations. Good man.
Our Australian reader Phil (?) described Novaks personality in a way that reminded me of stroppy John McEnroe but that, as he acknowledged, makes no difference to his right to privacy.
Yes, ’twas I, except that ‘temperamental’, ‘immature’, ‘volatile’ and ‘disrespectful’ applied to Nick Kyrgios, not Novak, but Novak is not exactly a ‘gentleman player’ like Roger Federer. Still, Novak is doing the right thing, the ethical thing. And so is Kyrgios. And Pat Cash, for that matter, in challenging the Covid/Vaxx authoritariansim. Kudos to them all.
Who thought that it would be millionaire tennis players helping to lead the charge and inspiring lesser mortals to do likewise.
As a strictly amateur (very amateur) tennis player back in the day for Adelaide University’s bottom grade, who frequently suffered from delusions of adequacy, I have some new tennis heroes, now.
Phil
Adelaide
Thanks for the clarification Phil, I never was much of a tennis fan but yes, congratulations to them all.
I have a tribe of cousins in and around Elizabeth who sadly I’ve lost touch with. I met each if them and some of some of the juniors as they did the solo trip to the home country years ago. I’d hate to think that they have fallen in line with the nonsense.
Djokovic has always been my least favourite of the ‘big three’ when it comes to his style of tennis, however, on this fundamental issue of bodily autonomy, he stands head and shoulders above his contemporaries.
Agree on both counts. He has balls. Same goes for Kyrgios – I don’t much like his style, but he has balls.
Good man. If other top players succumb to this coercion, I envisage a decline in their health and form – I can then see Djokovic dominating for the next 2 seasons.
Yes it is very good there is someone of his status making a stand. He is a strong person and I support him.
yes, I imagine him being banned from all tennis for a couple of years. can’t have the unjabbed bloke making a clean sweep
He might get banned although he is pretty powerful. I don’t think they are worried about him winning, just don’t want a big name making tennis look “off message”.
Palpatine Dan is chin deep in shit right now. The Public Health bill aka the Danfuhrer Act has stalled in the Upper House – halleluia! – and then there’s the IBAC hearings which are a whole other world of pain.
https://ibac.vic.gov.au/investigating-corruption/IBAC-examinations/operation-watts
I wouldn’t put it past him to create a special category for Djokovic and let him in just to gain a few brownie points with the populace.
He’s playing them at their own psychology games by not stating if he’s had the death shot because they don’t know how to categorise him. Yet, that’s the whole point – non-disclosure. Nobody is entitled to know your private medical information.
I hope England avoids the Vaxpass. But then up until 23rd March 2020 I hoped we’d avoid the lockdown.
We already have the Vaxpass for care home workers, NHS workers coming next year, anyone who wants to go on holiday abroad, and countless private businesses, venues etc who are enforcing or pretending to enforce it
true – I shouldn’t ignore those categories just because they don’t affect me
I too hope that the vaxpass won’t be extended because England will represent some form of control group that proves you don’t need to extend them. Scant consolation.
Hasn’t Italy already proved you don’t need them? They have been applying it more strictly than anyone up to now and have just joined the ranks of high risk infection countries.
The covid loonies would argue it would have been worse without the passes
Look at ‘Jabraltar’.
“MPs voted in favour of a new set of measures, which would include access to public transport and the workplace only for people who have been vaccinated or tested.”
Germans and Austrians eh? What a surprise
Mein Gott shocking ya? Do they not know impfung macht frei?
Considering in Austria the unclean are “allowed” out to work, they are quite literally proving that “arbeit macht frei”.
A sad day when a poor taste joke becomes reality.
a very good point
I’ve just been looking at the government’s exemption from jabs page. One of the exemptions now given is allergy to any of the ingredients contained in the vaccine. I listened to Anna de Buisseret being interviewed the other day, where she said that on the vaccine boxes it stated that recipients should be tested for allergies to any of the ingredients. She also suggested that people should be tested for allergies arising from various combinations of the ingredients.
I’ve rung 119 and asked them to send me a form to fill in, to claim an exemption from the jabs. I will be asking for exemption as I don’t know if I’m allergic to the ingredients as I haven’t been tested for allergies. I intend to play the family medical history card too. I thought claiming an exemption from testing for Covid was a step too far, although I’ve never had a test up to yet.
Oh and an update on the jabbed v unjabbed- 2020 2 people known to me “tested” positive, 2021 I now know personally 11 fully jabbed people who have “tested” positive.
And so you fell straight into the trap. It is an inalienable right to make informed consent to medical treatment, and thus a personal choice that need not be justified. The moment one crumbles to this latest psy-op, one effectively dismisses this key right enshrined by Nuremberg code.
There are zillions of good reasons to not take this killer experimental jab, period, and I have no intention of proving I might be allergic to a particular ingredient. Such cowardice amounts to nothing more than asking “pretty please” to the Big Pharma Big State tyranny to be officially exempt, while still sanctioning the apartheid vaxx polices being put in place.
Unless you have somehow failed to notice, we are a state of civil war.
I have no intention of taking the jabs, BJF. I am merely testing the waters to see how easy it would be to get an exemption. I should have made that clear. I see exemptions from both masks and jabs as the government’s get out clause. Any adverse effects and it will turn round and say “Ah but you didn’t have to have the jab or you didn’t have to wear a mask, you could have exempted yourself”
Next week I am meeting with my MP and believe me, I will be championing the cause of the unjabbed as hard as I can. This whole shambolic episode disgusts me which you may have noticed if you’d read any of my previous posts.
I think the point BJF was making was that asking for an exemption is a form of going along with the mandate – we should not need to ask for an exemption, it should be sufficient to just say we don’t want to be jabbed and it’s none of anyone’s business why we choose that.
You are still playing the government game, and allowing them to blur a clear ethical issue by changing it into a medical issue. This is a slippery slope. The key ethical cornerstones of ‘informed choice’ and ‘first do no harm’ should be unchanging constants, because regardless of the individual ingredients these vaxxes have NOT been properly tested.
Lack of allergy to the individual ingredients does not guarantee safety against adverse reactions to the final processed cocktail of ingredients – as tens of thousands have found out to their cost when taking this still experimental treatment. And, let’s say the offending ingredient was removed, then you would surely be obliged to take the jab?
As for MPs, they are all cowardly CON-LAB-LIB coalition government collaborators, so I regard them as part of the enemy in this Civil War. Any MP worth their salt would have resigned long ago and fought a by-election on an independent ticket.
And there I thought that I was playing them at their own game! The allergy bit and the family history bit are irrelevant as far as I am concerned. It was merely a ploy to see how easy it would be to declare exemption, just as it was for the mask mandate.
I thought that pointing out this exemption might be helpful to people on here who are threatened with loss of livelihood as Wendy has said. I’m not in that position, but feel deeply sorry for those in that situation who have no choice alongside those who were conned into having the jab in order to be able to travel.
Yes, if it’s your livelihood it’s a hard choice and exemption is in my view a reasonable compromise
It’s a de facto war, so old normal rules do not apply. Nobody was ‘conned into having the jab to travel’, as in most cases travel simply meant holidays. Who would risk their life and long term health for a sun tan?
If more people has said NO from the off, as Prof Ferguson himself admitted, the scam would have crumbled within weeks (or airline after airline would have bit the dust among other things). The irony is, now these people are long term vaxx addicts the same government will still prevent them travelling for other reasons (not enough jabs or green carbon credits or whatever), so little sympathy there.
Those whose jobs are threatened, and this includes many of us, have to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and instead think it out carefully, as our unions are not backing us up. However, as I have said before on here, surely market economics will dictate that tens of thousands of unemployed unjabbed health and care workers (for example) will be a huge asset to an Alternative Health Service for the millions of us unjabbed patients who have paid into the NHS but are effectively now excluded from treatments at present.

My friends rushed to have the jabs because they thought it would eventually enable them to visit their daughter in the USA. They had the AZ jab which I believe still has not been approved by the FDA but is acceptable to Biden because the WHO says it’s OK. So not everyone was conned into having it for the sake of a suntan!
I clearly said ‘in most cases travel simply meant holidays’. In this case you talking about the Hitchens excuse.
No matter how uncomfortable the reality or difficult the circumstances, taking a jab is an act of submission to the State and Big Pharma drug pushers unless one is 100% convinced it is for sound medical reasons. To take it for any other reason (no matter how good or worthy this seems) is an act of folly at best and self delusion at worst.
Besides, there are far more critical existential battles ahead, and if people are going to be taken in so easily by government propaganda and coercion then it’s probably best get it over with quickly. A strong family should understand a principled stance, and not demand other members risk their health just to travel to see them. And if one of the parents die of the vaxx (as at least 1 in 24,000 vaxxees already have) or suffer serious side effects, then what?
Actually we don’t know all the ingredients yet, do we?
I think the MPs who voted against the renewal of the legislation in March 2021 are a fair indication of which ones value individual freedom more than their own career and bank balance. To sum up: roughly the Labour left, the Tory right, Lib.Dems and Green.
There seem to be 3-4 legal barriers to mandating the jab at the moment. IMO the regime is playing the same psychological games it’s played since March 2020 and is doing whatever the psychologists have told it to do.
(N.B. I won’t dignify it with the word ‘government’.)
Just say “I am exempt” (whether you say more might depend on their question). You could make a relevant QR code if you use those gadgets. The “get out” clause, which is hidden to some extent, is there to defend themselves against being done for offences they are well aware of. For the time being, they need to comply with the relevant Acts – such as the Human Rights Act 1998, & the Equalities Act 2010; could be more.
I agree with you Finlayson.
From what I have found out about the “exemptions” you face a hidden assessment (in effect a secret, closed, court where you have no idea on what grounds you can justify yourself.)
The government are not disclosing the medical grounds for assessment of claims for exemption. This is clearly illegal, as any judgement of medical need should be transparent and the grounds clearly laid out to the applicant and the assessor.
This is so that the legality and justice of the judgement can be seen by both parties.
There is also no appeal against a mistaken judgement.
Since when was this legal?
None of this should stand up in court and my instinct is not to involve myself in such malfeasance.
It will be many years, if ever, before we claw back the once inalienable rights and basic civil liberties that have been ripped away by emergency legislation since March 2020. Too many people, educated people at that in many cases, failing to think and question hard wtf is going on – let alone stand up to it!
Agree 100%.
Correct.
I am not having an injection but if anybody asks it’s none of their business.
Hi Margaret, I am sure I am allergy to PEG and another of the ingredients. I won’t ask for allergy testing because I don’t want the vaccine any way and I don’t want to participate in vaccine passes in any guise. My stand on this though doesn’t impact my life so I can do this, perhaps you and others might need to seek any exemption possible to keep your job.
Thanks Wendy, please see my post below.
Isn’t at least one of the ingredients’ details withheld, as it’s supposedly proprietary? How can anyone know if they are allergic to whatever that substance is?
Sounds a lot like Pelosi’s explanation of the Affordable Health Care Act – “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it”.
You have to take the vaxx to find out if you’ll suffer life-threatening anaphylactic shock.
Spot on; however, in the pre EUA minute trial, the manufacturers did not test a cohort with known allergies as far as I can discover – only “healthy” people – in the sae way they did not test pregnant women. They now have and the effect on the numbers of women who had spontaneous miscarriages ( i.e medically within the first 20 weeks of confinement, used by midwives and Obstetricians for decades and not simply adopted for these miniscule trials ) has been horrific. This is detailed in a report by two very brave Kiwi doctors – available on The Expose.
If you want a < 30 minute round up by Dr Peter McCullough of the circumstances behind the lethality of mRNA jab delivery system, as well as the spike protein please view here:
Covid Jab Is Far More Dangerous Than Advertised
You should not need to ask for it; just declare it. Filling out a form effectively lets them in. They won’t admit that, of course. Nothing wrong with keeping private evidence on the back burner, of course, but no-one should take the risk of asking why you declared it.
Good for them.
However, it’s vital more of us oiks do the same, just say no to the medical Nazis.
Withdraw your support, custom, money, subscriptions from any business or organisation that demands control over your body.

“Croatia’s President, Zoran Milanovic, has been wildly off-message in recent weeks with his increasingly outrageous pronouncements about Covid restrictions and vaccinations. So it was perhaps only a matter of time before he triggered an international incident.
The moment arrived on Tuesday, following an audience with Pope Francis in the Vatican. Reporters were perhaps hoping the head of a very Catholic state might contradict the pontiff’s view that vaccination is an “act of love”. But Milanovic instead obliged them with a blistering attack on near-neighbour Austria’s lockdown of non-vaccinated citizens.
“That is fascism,” he said, calling the lockdown a method “reminiscent of the 1930s”.
Vienna took a dim view. Croatia’s ambassador to Austria was summoned – and told in no uncertain terms that “the comparison between the measures against the Covid-19 pandemic and fascism is unacceptable”.
Milanovic is also at odds with the government of Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, which is planning to penalise officials who refuse to enforce a Covid pass system at workplaces. The president says he “will not harass” his staff to produce a vaccination or test certificate.”
lol! good man
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-59329996
The Brownstone article clearly vindicated his comparison. A must read.
Hope he’s got good security staff.
Pat Cash’s mother almost died after tbe vaccination.
Her doctors refused to report it.

Can you imagine the amount of pressure he is under from his corporate sponsors? Shows the character of the man.
It would be really interesting to hear what people like Prince Charlie think, when they have spouted on forever about only allowing organic stuff into their temple, plenty more who talk about ‘clean’ living, whether they really do agree having this jabbed into them.
Saline is better than the vaccine according to the Pfizer trial data 😆
there was an interesting point raised yesterday (cant remember where)
a large part of unvaxxed are people living on the edge of society, homeless, otherwise lost by the system – these people are more likely to die of anything which will skew the statistics into making vaccines look better than they are
Was this the article? Vaccine Efficacy Statistics as Information Hazard – by eugyppius – eugyppius: a plague chronicle (substack.com)
Report in local Live Online
“Inside Covid hotspot where locals want face masks to be mandatory again”.
Includes interviews with local shopkeepers and shoppers who all agree that masks should be mandatory again.
One (anonymous) says “you can’t trust the vaccine because some haven’t had it so that means we’re not safe”.
Busker Sid who has had long Covid, and doesn’t want to get it again, agrees.
The article is accompanied by some boring Covid statistics and two streetscapes in which nobody is wearing a mask, including Busker Sid, that’s him, centre right.
“you can’t trust the vaccine because some haven’t had it so that means we’re not safe”.
Oh God make it stop, please.
Where do you even start????
buzz word, ‘safe’
If everyone is told repeatedly that face-masks are effective then it should come as no surprise that if you ask people about face-masks they’ll think they are effective.
The science is very clear on the lack of effectiveness of the face-masks. The propaganda doesn’t care about this, despite follow the science.
The science may be clear, but you’d think that reality, what people can see with their own eyes, is even clearer. Since we’ve had face rags there has been zero difference. Just as you’d think that people would draw the conclusion that if infections and hospitalisations in Europe, some countries of which are amongst the most highly-vaxxed in the world, are much higher than they were a year ago, with 100% unvaxxed, this means that a) at best the vaxx does nothing, b) at worst it has made things worse (my money is on option b).
For your “worst cold ever” stats – I popped into a small shop where I know the owner quite well, hadn’t been there since the summer. She was jabbed over the summer and was suffering from a dreadful cold that she could not shake (10 days and counting). We were the only ones in the shop and both put her masks on as I entered. I did so because I don’t want her getting fined or having other customers whine at her. As we were the only ones, I said she didn’t have to wear the mask for my sake. That’s when she said… Read more »
So why is nobody in either pic actually wearing a mask if they really believe it makes them safe?
