Djokovic

It is f'n easy for the tennis players to get in, just get vaccinated! If Djokovic had just spent a few minutes getting vaccinated this thread wouldn't exist.

As for Australias fake toughness: them standing up to China wasn't fake. The thousands of live Australian crayfish that slowly died and suffocated from the heat on Chinese docks as retaliation wouldn't have thought it was fake, if they could think, of course.

Them not putting up with the French BS of dragging their feet on the submarine contract, not performing and dumping all the technical documentation for the project in their lap - written in French - and telling them to learn french or pay to get it translated, wasn't fake to the French.

If Australians were as hardy as they make themselves out to be they would not be hiding under the blankie from covid which is little different to similar events from the past like the 1968 Hong Kong flu pandemic.

Watching the frozen-eyed Dan Andrews continually bully the entire state of Victoria has been pathetic. He shouldn't be separating families and barring people from their parent's funerals and ordinary Aussies shouldn't be letting him get away with it

As someone on another thread said, the ordinary person's anger has dissociated and transferred from a scary source (the Oz government and militarised police) to a not-scary target (Djokovic).

I tell ya one thing, whether you're pro vaccine or anti vaccine or pro Nole or anti Nole or pro Serbia or anti Serbia or pro Australia or anti Australia....you cannot but admire the man's resiliency and fortitude and unwavering belief...

Go and win number 21, Nole!!!!!!

And all of these people that you know who died were teenage girls? That's absolutely tragic. I heard nothing in the news about that.

I’ve never been a big fan of Novak, but at least he has the common sense to stay relatively quiet about this and is not all over social media shouting and screaming

In contrast, for the Oz government, Djokovic’s family (especially his loony dad), the jingoistic arses camping out outside the hotel and waving Serbian flags, and the media (for hyping this up and putting it as headlines news) this is an utterly embarrassing clusterfuck

Wow, that's incredible. So you personally know 2 of the 26 people under the age of 34 who have died of Covid over the course of 2 years in this country? That's incredibly unlucky. And those two people were in the prime of their health no doubt? Not overweight or with any chronic health issues?

Yeah, people who look up CSO stats are total weirdos aren't they? Crazy lads.

The reason you haven't heard about people who say they know someone who has been vaccine injured is because they self censor around people like yourself. I never talk about this in real life unless the other person sounds skeptical about the vaccine/covid policy and even then I'd broach it with great caution. I've mentioned my views to one pro lockdown person and just got a 15 minute scalding so it's not really worth talking about it to people who won't listen. Some people completely shut down when they think you don't agree with them and I've better things to do than fall out with people over health policy.
