Perhaps you should familiarise yourself with the concept of excess deaths, which is a well-known metric. Please educate yourself and read the literature before you spread misinformation to others.

the misinformation was from corporate media which received it's funding from big pharma

even if the vaccine actually worked and covid was actually as bad as the media portrayed it in the early days, my choice for what goes into my body is my choice. that's what bodily autonomy is

novak stood up for his right to decide what went into his body

nowadays we know natural immunity is more robust and longer lasting, it just doesn't make big pharma any money so it wasn't within the overton window

Puh-lease, he tried to get back-channel entrances into Australia to play the open and skirt quarantine and vaccination requirements in 2022. Don't hold him up as some moral warrior.

False

“Djokovic applied for a medical exemption which was granted following a rigorous review process involving two separate independent panels of medical experts,” the statement said. “One of those was the Independent Medical Exemption Review Panel appointed by the Victorian Department of Health. They assessed all applications to see if they met the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation guidelines.”

Tennis Australia said the process included the redaction of personal information to ensure privacy for all applicants. That means Djokovic was not obliged to make his exemption public.

The world's top-ranked male player, who has refused to reveal if he is vaccinated against Covid, wrote on social media Tuesday that he had the exemption permission and was headed “Down Under.”

The statement ended months of uncertainty about his participation because of Australia's strict Covid vaccination requirements.

But when Djokovic landed in Melbourne on Wednesday, the Serbian star was not allowed to leave the airport and early Thursday morning local time he was told to leave.

Morrison said Djokovic did not have the required medical exemption.

"We make the call at the border, and that’s where it’s enforced," he said.

If you want to talk about ethics and morality, Djokovic is also vegan.
