SO much continued Balkanism and anti-Serbian sentiment here. But, you are so not... you are so objective cause your know Serbs are racist! Unlike... the Western world.... that just calls Serbs and the Balkans racist and genocidal while they murder and commit genocide left and right.
But, that is for the sake of bringing the world CIVILIZATION! |

The fact is that all the players have known since last summer (US summer) that they would need to be vaccinate or have a valid medical exemption. Medical exemptions are allergies to the medication/vaccination or a valid medical reason why taking the vaccine would be more detrimental to the patient than a vaccination. The documentation from the Australian Border Force clearly states this exemption is "details that clearly outline that they have a medical condition that means they cannot receive a COVID-19 vaccination (vaccination is contraindicated)." It does not state that previously having Covid is a medical exemption. But the hubris of Djokovic is that he thought that his prestige of being the world #1 player would be exemption enough and having a case of Covid-19 would somehow be able to skirt the rules. Especially since it was likely a fabricated case of Covid-19. His negative antigen test was entered Dec 22 but his positive antigen test (the one that is likely fabricated) was recorded for Dec 16 but recorded after the Dec 22 test was not accepted as sufficient to get a medical exemption.
Morrisson cannot allow Djokovic to remain in the country. The political fallout would be huge. There are Australian citizens and ex-pats who have not been allowed to enter the country for similar reasons. I know someone who is an Australian ex-pat in the US and his mother was severely ill in the hospital (not Covid). He was not vaccinated and wanted to return home to be by his mother, but he was not allowed. So he got a J&J and had to wait 2 weeks to return home to visit his mother. And her condition was critical at one point. He was very glad that by the time he was allowed to return, her condition was improving. He is just one of many, many stories of Australians not allowed to enter the country without the vaccination. If Djokovic was allowed to break the rules, get a medical exemption where others were not allowed (especially if it turns out to be fabricated) then the Australian populace will be very very angry. A majority of Australian nationals do not want him admitted to play, number one player or not. He deserves to be ejected and banned for three years for not following the rules. If he really objected to getting vaccinated, he should have just stayed home and come back to play next year. But last year is probably his last Australian Open as an active player. |

| Victoria gov explicitly says that previous infection, in the last 6 months, is a valid exemption to being vaccinated. |

We like people from the Balkans. Our former First Lady is from Slovenia. But she ain’t a Serb. Serbs worship Djokovic. I think he’ll eventually be their head of state. |

You know we are teasing you right? Don’t be so serious and quit worshipping Djokovic. I’ll mail you a new RF hat from Uniqlo. |

No, I don't know that. Sadly, there has been so much that I was told and accused of that I do not know that. I don't think calling me a whack a mole and calling me a bot is funny. Nor is it funny to tell me to go away. I have been an American since 1996. If you were not told by your own American FIL that you are a butcher while nursing your 4-week old son, that you had to cross the border out while the bombs were falling onto your family. Nor did he know that I had to worry that my Albanian-Serbian cousin was almost killed when NATO bombed the TV station he was working at that night. Nor that the hospital that I gave birth in, a maternity hospital, was bombed to the ground one month later. So, no, your jokes are not funny, nor are they harmless. Nor is it funny when I told my FIL that my new neighbors are from Kosovo, and he asked me if I had already butchered them. In fact, we exchange gifts, food and I was the only person her mom and dad could talk to as they spoke no English. So, no, it is not as simple as you teasing me, it is wrong that my kids who were born in the U.S. are called murdered in their college classes, while their American part(they are half and half, no? DH is American) destroys countries left and right. That my son has to tell his grandpa that every country has done bad and good things, and he doesn't think that any one country should call the other butchers, and he should not have to be ashamed of saying that his mom is Serbian. Just BCS, you don't know the effect your words have, doesn't make you any less a xenophobe towards Serbs and me and probably Balkan people. Balkanism is a real thing. Sadly you don't know anything about it. You might not know how Serbs and Balkan people were portrayed in Western books, politics, and media since the early 1800s. You don't know that centuries of such representation formed your implicit bias towards groups of people in the region. Just like so many deny they are racist, simply BCS they don't know what is racist today. |

That’s like Virginia saying it but Virginia does not issue control entry to the country. Lol |
