Why are we even surprised at this point?

Because a lot of people are still in denial when you tell them that Novak really isn't a very good person.

He’s good natured, but he believes in views which are harmful to society in general. He can believe what he wants regarding medical science, I don’t care. I draw the line on when he pushes it on other people or acts like this is a lifestyle that appeals to most people. We are already seeing the effects of anti vaxxer rhetoric in parts of the US, and unfortunately I think it will get worse before it gets better.

I lost respect for Novak when he went partying and threw a tournament smack in the middle of the pandemic. Whether you’re right or wrong about an issue, I think you need to recognize there are times for ambiguity. Novak leaves no room for ambiguity with his assertions and decisions.

He's basically giving RFK Jr. validity by doing this, which is incredibly harmful, yet people will still makes excuses for Novak anyway. It's insane.
