I find it very amusing all this fuss over a tennis player, albeit one of Djokovic standing. he has not said whether he is vaccinated but it is obvious that he is not, otherwise he would say so and all would be well? My bigger point is why do we care? Yes it’s news and yes he is a famous sportsman but really whether he is let in or not (and he should not be under the Australia rules) is of no importance, other to highlight the stupidity on the divide between those who are vaccinated and those who are not! If he chooses not to be vaccinated, his right, then he cannot expect to be let into territory where the rules clearly want proof you are. Frankly a “medical exemption” is pathetic and the fact that they won’t reveal the basis of it, dodgy at best!
The controversy, between those who are vaccinated and those who are not, taking the medical reasons out of the equation, is further evidence of how easily it is to divide people and condemn those who do not “comply” with all the advice. I have made it clear that I am a strong supporter of being vaccinated but it goes against my liberal nature to impose it or make it mandatory. I would use persuasion and logic to try and persuade those who oppose it and if unable to do so would accept my premise was nor persuasive enough. I get annoyed when in a supermarket, I note that some staff are wearing mask and others are not. I have stop short of asking and it would only be a polite inquiry to satisfy my curiosity? I do not like wearing a mask, I cannot think of a single person who would but I do it out of respect for others and to protect myself. I would be the first to admit I have doubts about the effectiveness of mask wearing, I guess we all do. The mask manufacturers are having a profitable time!
So whatever your belief is, vaccinated, unvaccinated, we must have respect for each other’s views and for keeping each other safe. Naturally there will are those, who are strongly opposed and very vocal about being anti-vax even violent, there is no such response from those who are vaccinated and that kind of sums up the world today!
Stay well
