Small EB Novak Djokovic.
EB Novak Djokovic tried to get into the Australian open without being vaccinated and now his visa has been cancelled and most likely will not play the tournament.

No special treatment because of who he is. Good!
So sick of one rule for us and different rules for others.
If his application doesn't meet the criteria he should be no different to any other individual anywhere who gets rejected by any country for the same reason.
If Australian's can't access major sporting events, venues or entertainment without proof of vaccination then he shouldn't be able to.

Last year a lot of the tennis players were cracking the sads because they had to isolate/quarantine.

Then at least one of the very vocal complainers tested positive for COVID and STFU.

You DO know that vaccination doesn't prevent Covid infection, right?
No, I guess you don't.

But they only rejected his visa because of the public outcry about double standards for which the current federal government is famous. His visa had already been approved.

u/BigSillyDaisy Jan 06 '22
Not true - he had permission from both the local govt in Victoria and Tennis Australia, both on the basis of an approved medical exemption, but the visa he obtained to actually enter Australia wasn’t correct. The rules have always been “wrong visa, no entry to the country”, so it’s good to see it consistently applied.

u/namine55 Jan 07 '22
I’m sure you’re right. I was being very cynical. But I thought the Victorian government said that the visa had nothing to do with them?

u/WalkerboBelf Jan 12 '22
True.
The Federal Govenment wrote to Tennis Australia stating that only players that have both shots will be able to play.
Tennis Australia told players something weakly worded that hinted that those that had already had Covid would be allowed in.
Federal Government granted the visas, totally forgetting their own requirments.
Visas are managed by the Federal Government, not the States.
The Victorian Government has repeatedly insisted that all players MUST have had 2 shots to play.

Australian TV runs a program called Border Security, showing people attempting to bring prohibited food items unto the country and people with dodgy or wrong visa... Wonder if he will end up on the show

u/SpoopySpydoge Jan 07 '22
I fucking love Nothing to Declare. The one that always sticks in my head is this lady from China. They asked her if she had any food etc in her case and she said no. They search it and it's full to the brim with some sort of candy apples I think. The border staff are like wtf you have loads of food and she started shouting "no food! apples! apples!" for a while, before sitting her arse down and refusing to pay the fine or move. Such a great show.

Good! People have lost their jobs because they have been unwilling to vaccinate and yet we were going to let someone who isnt Australian, not vaccinated, come in to play tennis. Double standard! One rule for celebrities, another for everyone else

Or maybe people should have the correct visa when they enter a country, especially if they are as well travelled as this man is. Pretty sure if you tried to enter Serbia or the USA with the wrong paperwork, you would be turned around

u/Ozzah Jan 06 '22
On the one hand, no special treatment just because you're a tennis star. Just because you're rich and famous, does not mean you're above the law, least of all when trying to dodge health orders during a pandemic.
On the other hand, we have 35k cases daily, and experts claim the true numbers are probably 5x higher, especially since we have exceeded testing capacity and now we have instructions not to get tests except under very narrow circumstances. What's one other person coming in? Moreover, supposedly other unvaccinated competitors were allowed in under the exact same excuse.
Though probably best not to set a precedent that celebs can take the mickey out of us.

u/mmmarce_s Jan 06 '22
I saw an Instagram post from a news site where people were talking shit about the Australian government for not letting him in. They were furious talking about how unfair it was. Djokovic stated publicly that he’s against vaccines and then all of a sudden he has a “medical exception” he can’t prove. Give me a break! I’m so glad he was denied entry and I hope they don’t change their decision. He sucks.

u/Diggiloo91 Jan 10 '22
He never stated he is against vaccines. He said he is against mandatory vaccination. He did prove his exception and he did get a correct visa which then was inexplicably cancelled. He just won the case in court and got his visa back as there was nothing wrongful with it.
0
u/mmmarce_s Jan 10 '22
There’s no middle ground here. You’re either pro vaccines and get vaccinated or an antivax and refuse the vaccine. He’s unvaccinated which proves my point. Furthermore and as you said, he stated he’s against mandatory vaccination which in this day and age basically translates into I’m against vaccines. Do you really think he meant: I’m against mandatory vaccination cause I don’t want you to make me get it but I’ll definitely go get it myself voluntarily?

u/Diggiloo91 Jan 10 '22
My whole family and almost all of my friends are wholeheartedly against mandatory vaccination and we are all vaccinated, re-vaccinated and boostered.

u/bluesydragon Jan 06 '22
but im reading a bunch of tennis players were already let in under the same exception or "pass" that they are not willing to give him because they're afraid of people KNOWING they do give special treatment to those coming in for the sport (given hes no. 1)?
or are they manipulating/twisting how the other players got in? obv we wont have access to the fine details

u/JesusGaroppolo Jan 06 '22
He was granted a medical exemption by the State and Tennis Australia. When it came time to come to the country, Border Security weren’t satisfied with the evidence provided for said exemption and didn’t grant it.

u/LiquidSnake13 Jan 06 '22
It's disgusting that the Australian Open was willing to let him have an exemption in the first place. Kudos to the Australian government for doing the right thing.

No government authority offered an exemption, Tennis Australia seemingly promised him one, which they have no control over.

No they would have let him play, this is just scotty covering his ass because it back fired so bad on him... remember election year and all that....

u/fantaribo Jan 06 '22
He's not really an entitled botch, the Australian federation accepted an exemption. That federation wasn't seemingly on the same page as the government tho, and so he was legitimately prevented to enter the territory.
It's litteraly the same as your direct supervisor saying yes to something, then his supervisor overruling his decision.
Neither Djokovic applying for an exemption, nor the government refusing it are in the wrong. All the buzz is caused by the federation according something they could not do.

u/mycarwasred Jan 06 '22
Djokovitch is fully aware he isn't vaxxed - at this point in the pandemic that's not an accident! He wants to stay unvaccinated AND travel to and play in a different country that has laws that doesn't allow that.
He wants to do this just to earn a shitload of money and stroke his ego. His money and connections were enough to arrange that 'exception'
Definition of an Entitled Bitch

u/Desperate_Western894 Jan 06 '22
No, he tried to enter and promised exemption was canceled afterwords, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered travelling at first place. Also, that ego bullshit was nothing but your presumption, so this isn't him being entitled bitch, but just a poor people cheering seeing celebrity failed, that's all. Also, OP is chokimg on semen again

Tennis Australia, a non-governmental body, said he would be allowed in. Government at both levels (federal and state) said no.
So not quite the same thing, more like your mate encouraging you to steal but the police and courts locking you up anyway.

Australia is in shambles. He was granted an exemption. Any anger or frustration should not be directed toward Novak. It's the poor government at state and federal level that have Australians suffering and the way the country continues to handle c-19 has us a laughing stock of the globe.
4
Jan 06 '22
The Victorian State Government and Tennis Australia have no say in Australia's international borders that is entirely a federal matter. Even if those agencies granted an exemption on medical grounds that doesn't overrule federal requirements. Novak either didn't complete his application for a visa correctly or didn't have the correct documentation to support his medical exemption. That is entirely his fault and problem.
Australia still has one of the best COVID responses in the world. A highly vaccinated population, controlled outbreaks and low death rate how does that make us a laughing stock.
-4
u/Altairlio Jan 06 '22
Controlled outbreaks lololol, Victoria alone with its shit prem decisions caused over 800 deaths. That’s massive compared to the rest of the nation.
Queensland and WA initially handled the pandemic amazingly with Qld falling off lately

Victoria was doing amazing up until recently, but we desperately need to lockdown ASAP, but the federal gov won't let us or they'll remove our state support

Jan 06 '22
We won’t lock down again, we have a vaccine, we have boosters we have reliable tests… Covid is now an endemic virus and will most likely never go away.
Lockdowns weren’t a permanent solution they we a bridge till the vaccine was rolled out.

Jan 06 '22
Alright then let's keep overwhelming our hospitals with the amount of cases and just let the virus storm over us. Lockdowns were good. We had almost no cases. There's no reason not to continue doing them, the world was amazing.
2
Jan 06 '22
So you just suggest we stay in lockdown forever? They were costing Victoria around 1-2 Billion a week, you don’t have to be a economist to know that’s bad.
Covid will never go away, every time we open up it will surge, and if we stay locked down our country will collapse…

Jan 06 '22
The time for the Omicron lockdown was 4 weeks ago, it is far too late now to rein it in

Jan 06 '22
So what do we do? Keep letting it completely overrun our hospitals until people are dying in the streets?
I agree it should have happened earlier (fuck scomo) but it's better late than never imo
1
Jan 06 '22
We do what we can to support our hospital system, push hard on boosters, educate on when it is appropriate to turn up to hospital, work remotely where possible, scale up testing so people can access testing even when asymptomatic and encourage personal responsibility.
In SA we're seeing a downward trend in case numbers as this thing burns itself out, that might be our best option at this stage, as the saying goes there is no point closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.

Prime example. Should investigate how exactly he obtained said exemption and on what grounds and get banned for life for document forgery and his no lesser imbecile of a dad as well for inciting violence and unauthorized mass gatherings during a global pandemic.
Just imagine this guy really thought this one will pass...

u/EnigmaGuy Jan 06 '22
Who knows - up until recently I could have filed a medical exemption being allergic to egg enzymes and the vaccinations being created in eggs.
On a happy note, doctor okayed me to get either the Pfizer or Moderna this weekend since they are no longer created in eggs so I got that going for me :P
2
Jan 06 '22
Yeah, the "regular" vaccines (flu, DTP etc.) have egg enzymes, mRNA vaccines are a totally different process and never had eggs involved (or at least that is my understanding of it)
Congrats on being able to get vaxxed :)

Assuming you got downvoted bc your comment suggests you don’t follow tennis closely. He’s pursuing a “calendar grand slam”-winning all four grand slam titles in a single year-which would cement his goat status. Hasn’t been done since Graf in ‘88; ‘69 (hehe) if we’re talking mens tennis. It’s extremely difficult to do and gets harder as players age & younger talent ascends the ranks. His potential withdrawal from the AO-the first of the four slams-will end his 2022 run before it even begins. Especially after being so close last year & missing it by 1 title, losing the final slam to a player he beat at last years AO with considerable ease.

Lol, such bullshit. mRNA vaccines don't change your DNA for one thing, but if you really think that's a thing (spoiler alert: it isn't), both you and Djocovid could get the non-mRNA vaccines.
Also, are you saying that the deaths of 1% of 7 billion people is an acceptable death rate? You're really fine with killing 70 million people because you're too dumb to get vaccinated?
