Yep, complete clown. I hope Australia do the right thing and kick him out.
If he fulfilled the medical criteria he'd still have the exemption but obviously he didn't he hasn't.In fairness he was giving an exemption & was told he was ok to travel. There where also 26 other tennis players who applied and a few others were given the same exemption however none of them have been treated the same.....
I've no time for him either. But why was he given an exemption and then all of a sudden not. Has a reason been given for his deportation? If he has lied then of course kick him out but if he has supplied real proof he should be allowed play like the other players who got exemptions.If he fulfilled the medical criteria he'd still have the exemption but obviously he didn't he hasn't.
I'm delighted for him. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke. He's a clown, spouting his anti-vax nonsense.
He got the exemption based on having his paperwork in order when he got there. It seems he didn't have said paperwork in order.I've no time for him either.

And he will have plenty of volunteers to give him the jab before the French open ...The exemption was from the Tennis organisers not the Melbourne authorities / border control afaik. While no doubt the border control paid a lot more attention to his case because of public opinion overnight - that public reaction was also self inflicted as he has spouted about having the exemption on Instagram before leaving.
Just as an example - the Australian Tennis require a vaccine to even attend as a spectator unless you have an exemption .One of the grounds for an exemption was having been infected already in the last 6 months. However prior infection isn't valid for an exemption for entry to Victoria. So it could be that he didn't have the required documentation. Or it could be that the exemption to play / attend wasn't valid as an exemption to enter Victoria
More fun to come - the next major is the French Open. Good luck with that one
I didn't see any of that.I'm sure we've all seen the NHS Dr tell the Health secretary that he does not want to get vaccinated and is not happy about the mandatory requirement however what I thought very interesting was the nurses reaction when the health sectary asked them. It's terrible that people are too afraid to speak up.
Okay so an anaesthetist is taking a position against the experts (he's not an expert). I stand by my point above.Here is the link if you're interested:
COVID-19: Sajid Javid directly challenged on mandatory coronavirus jabs by unvaccinated NHS doctor

Your unequivocal view notwithstanding, I think it's valid to ask questions about the vaccines.To be clear, I am saying that, as this stage, anyone who doesn't accept that vaccines reduce your risk of serious disease and death and that outweighs the tiny risk the vaccines pose, is an idiot.
I view people who refuse vaccines because of risks associated with the vaccines as idiots.. Do you view parents who decide not to vaccinate their young children to be idiots also?
Your unequivocal view notwithstanding, I think it's valid to ask questions about the vaccines.
They were produced at breakneck speed. The more traditional vaccines (viral vector\protein subunit\inactivated virus) haven't had stellar performance against the virus. The efficacy of the newer mRNA type drops off alarmingly also. That Israel are on their fourth jab wouldn't instil confidence. The vaccines don't seem to be doing all that much re Omicron, perhaps reducing the already mild symptoms. The risks appear to be small but the vaccines have caused damage to some and deaths. Obviously the time-frame did not allow for longitudinal studies so we won't know for a while whether the vaccines cause any long-term issues.
While the vaccines may reduce serious disease and death in the overall population that may well make little difference to young, healthy people. It seems to me that the vaccines offer little to young children as Covid doesn't seem to be much of a risk for health younger kids. Do you view parents who decide not to vaccinate their young children to be idiots also?
Then they are deliberately choosing the option that carries a higher degree of risk to their children. If they don't care enough about their children to have worked that out by now...So if they choose not to to vaccinate their young children against Covid on the basis that it poses little risk to them
A colleague of my wife was recently faced with the parents of a child now suffering from post-covid MIS-C, they will sadly admit they were idiots whose decision will likely have lifetime consequences for their child....then maybe they're not necessarily idiots?
