Novak Djokovic Continues to Support Freedom of Choice and Hide His Vaccination Status

The Australian Open is due to be held in January next year, but the state of Victoria, where the tournament will take place, has declared that unvaccinated players won’t be allowed to compete. However, world number one player Novak Djokovic risks losing the chance to defend the title by refusing to disclose his vaccination status, continuing to publicly support freedom of choice over vaccine passports. The Independent has more.

World number one Novak Djokovic has reiterated his stand about freedom of choice over taking the Covid vaccine as suspense grows over his participation at the Australian Open in January.

Djokovic has repeatedly declined to disclose his vaccination status and said last month that he was unsure if he would defend his title at Melbourne Park, “things being as they are”. Government officials of the state of Victoria, where the major takes place in Melbourne, have said unvaccinated players will be barred from the tournament.

Tennis maverick Nick Kyrgios said on his podcast this week that he was “double-vaxxed” but did not think it was right to force anyone, let alone athletes, to get vaccinated. Responding to the comments from Kyrgios, who has criticised Djokovic on numerous occasions in the past for various reasons, the Serbian said: “that was unexpected knowing what was coming from him towards me in the last couple of years.

“But this time I must agree with him that the freedom of choice is essential for everyone, whether it’s me or somebody else,” the 34 year-old told reporters in Turin, where he is competing at the season-ending ATP Finals.

“Doesn’t really matter whether it’s vaccination or anything else in life. You should have the freedom to choose, to decide what you want to do. In this particular case, what you want to put in your body.”

Good bloke.

And it’s important to draw the distinction between the lie that the “unvaccinated” will be verboten, and the truth that those who don’t actively prove full “vaccination” will be unpersoned.

It’s the act of disclosing your personal, private medical status to every snivelling apparatchik and Day-Glo Derek that demands it that puts us on our knees. “None of your damn business” is the correct answer for a free human being.

I wonder if the merely double-“vaccinated” players have considered that by January, they may be relegated to filthy spreaders of disease, and be ordered to take a third dose.

His body, his choice.

Has anyone tried the ‘exempt’ ploy?

Questioning why your Disability makes you exempt from wearing a mask has been proven In Court to be illegal with £6k fines dished out to offenders.
Might be worth a try the same about being exempt from being vaxxed if only by fans attempting to access a venue as a one off.

Have any gone to court yet? Most offenders are desperate to settle if they think that a litigant has a case and might embarrass them in front of a judge.

Settlements are usually without prejudice, confidential and you have to sign a NDA.

There was at least one example earlier this year but I don’t recall the details.

Major store security staff were very well briefed from the outset, even better than the police, so there were few actual instances.

I took it upon myself to advise the owner of my local independent convenience store/post office on the first day of mask mandate. I had downloaded the legal summary provided by the lawnotfiction website and forwarded it to his phone.

I had no problems there at all despite hostile glances and mumbles from the mums who use that shop when taking their children home from the nearby school. Partly because I was then doing the shopping for my elderly neighbour and our combined daily spend was often over £50.00 which dwarfed what the mums spent on lottery tickets and lollipops.

Self exemption works, in England, unless you are a care home worker; although, I suspect, a legal challenge to rule that CHWs can self exempt, as well, will be forthcoming. Thank God for Wellington and Nelson.

Only for Health care workers, and I am not sure the legislation necessary to mandate that has come before Parliament yet. For everyone else, in a domestic setting, self exemption is legally binding and anyone who questions it is breaking the law. Wales has a LFT exemption to it’s vaccine passports as, I believe, do Scotland and NI. In England it is illegal to deny anyone anything if they claim they are exempt from being vaccinated. Apart from working in a care home but that issue has, unsurprisingly, Gond rather quiet…

Thank you for that clarification.
Very little legislation has been put before Parliament apart from nodding through the Covid law every six months which is why the CPS has yet to prosecute a single lockdown case.

Any Ministerial announcements stemming from that is, as I’m sure you know, secondary legislation which is automatically annulled by Primary Disability Discrimination laws put directly before MPs in years past.

Self vax exemption for non health workers has received remarkably little attention in the press although one might have thought that determined anti vaxxers would be aware.
Employers might already be quietly accepting self exemption since how would vaxxed up colleagues know one way or another?

A while back I came across an example of an out of court settlement: https://disabilityrights.org.uk/first-face-mask-discrimination-case-nets-7-000 Could have been more. I think any attempt at abolishing “exemption” would need changes to a number of Acts of Parliament – at least Human Rights Act 1998, and the Equalities Act 2010; could be more. They would all have to get through the Lords etc. Don’t forget that there will be a Xmas shutdown as usual, as well. What they have done is to keep quiet about it all, and pretend that exemption does not exist. However, they usually admit that it does in well hidden appendixes so that few people read them. Classic dodgy politics – being selective with the facts.

The problem with claiming exemption is that it still validates and complies with the system.

I’ve yet to be challenged on lack of muzzle or vaxxport (muzzle laws remain in place in Scotchland and are likely to be extended, God knows to what), but I intend for my response be along the lines of “State the statutory basis for demanding to know my private medical information.” and then less polite from there.

This is the central point. If you choose to get it ( I’ll add with actually informed consent ), then fine. Nobody should be forced to disclose their medical status.

Agree, but strictly for medical reasons. If you choose to get it to enjoy the cultural, societal & economic benefits that come with it then that is a different matter – this is path to a permanent apartheid UK.
This “you might not be able to travel” line is is exactly the BS coercion method my GP’s surgery tried to convince me with earlier this year, before I called them out, and nothing to do with proven medical benefits. We are sleepwalking into an apartheid state, and there will be no easy way out.

It all reminds me of those people (some friends included) I have encountered who chose to bow to peer pressure and started taking ‘soft’ drugs, which they claimed they could kick any time – you know the rest. Certainly the key elements of ‘neutralisation & drift’ are already in place, fuelled by the MSM, SAGE and NHS propaganda. The fact the government has effectively become their ‘pusher man’ doesn’t change a thing, as its Big Pharma pals become in turn the money making suppliers to fuel this mass coerced addiction.
By 2024 frequent boosters will no longer be free but the natural immune systems of the jabbed will be so trashed by then they will have little choice but to pay up.

That’s only to ensure fair competition in the prohibition of performance-enhancing drugs. There’s a big difference here: The urine sample they require from athletes in top competitions are to prove there are NO drugs in your system. A vaccine requirement for a participation in a public event are to prove that you DO have a specific substance in your body, which has nothing to do with athletic performance.
I’m sure Novak has had no problem with the former in the past!

If private information about athletes performance enhancing drug tests have been made available to the media that does not make it legal or right, unless that information was leaked by the athletes themselves.
All that the public might be entitled to know is that an individual has ‘failed’ such a test and perhaps not even that if they retire graciously upon receiving the negative result.

Unless you work for a Covid vaccine maker/pusher at a very high level, then informed consent is not remotely possible. Those taking the gene therapy roulette shots are being the chance of dying quickly or in a year or so down the road, either way they are dead. Great game.

Take note to the number of articles (practically every one of them) that withhold the cause of death. They’ll tell you the death was sudden and unexpected in one sentence then spend the rest of the article with a biography of the person and statements made by family and friends.

I have come to the view that if they don’t tell us the reason for the sudden death, you should assume it’s ‘vaccine’ related. It’s their job to prove otherwise.

In a nutshell! It is now my default understanding of the crop of ‘sudden’, ‘unexplained’ deaths – assume the vaxx did it unless the Covid-compliant, Vaxx-orthodox media prove otherwise by showing that some other cause was determinative.

I’ve noticed that there are a lot more deaths being reported of past sports stars (prominent Australian Test cricketers from Ye Olde Days, for example). There are always a few, of course, but they are quite rare. Nevertheless, the frequency seems to be increasing a tad. All anecdotal, of course, and it could just be that vaxx recalcitrants like myself are becoming more sensitised to notice them, and they are all old geezers …… but there seem to be more of them than usual.

If there any journalists still doing what they should be doing in the MSM, perhaps they could investigate.

I think Moderna is being offered as the booster to the folk who had Pfizer originally. That’s what the spat that our esteemed (haha) Health Secretary had with someone on Twitter was all about.

A friend i saw today said she had just had her booster and they were going to give her Moderna but having heard that she’s had two bouts (?) of Bells Palsy in recent years decided it might be better to give her Pfizer. WTF? Why on earth she is having it at all given that is one of the well-publicised side effects god only knows.

Also heard this morning about quite a well known property company owner who died in the summer – the article i read about it just said he had a stroke and died suddenly having been working on the Thursday just before being taken to hospital. Another friend i saw today who knew him quite well said he had a massive brain haemorrhage. Hmmmm, i wonder why?

“Inside Covid hotspot where locals want face masks to be mandatory again”.

Includes interviews with local shopkeepers and shoppers who all agree that masks should be mandatory again.
One (anonymous) says “you can’t trust the vaccine because some haven’t had it so that means we’re not safe”.

Busker Sid who has had long Covid, and doesn’t want to get it again, agrees.

The article is accompanied by some boring Covid statistics and two streetscapes in which nobody is wearing a mask, including Busker Sid, that’s him, centre right.

Just as you’d think that people would draw the conclusion that if infections and hospitalisations in Europe, some countries of which are amongst the most highly-vaxxed in the world, are much higher than they were a year ago, with 100% unvaxxed, this means that a) at best the vaxx does nothing, b) at worst it has made things worse (my money is on option b). For your “worst cold ever” stats – I popped into a small shop where I know the owner quite well, hadn’t been there since the summer. She was jabbed over the summer and was suffering from a dreadful cold that she could not shake (10 days and counting). We were the only ones in the shop and both put her masks on as I entered. I did so because I don’t want her getting fined or having other customers whine at her. As we were the only ones, I said she didn’t have to wear the mask for my sake.

“Croatia’s President, Zoran Milanovic, has been wildly off-message in recent weeks with his increasingly outrageous pronouncements about Covid restrictions and vaccinations. So it was perhaps only a matter of time before he triggered an international incident.

The moment arrived on Tuesday, following an audience with Pope Francis in the Vatican. Reporters were perhaps hoping the head of a very Catholic state might contradict the pontiff’s view that vaccination is an “act of love”. But Milanovic instead obliged them with a blistering attack on near-neighbour Austria’s lockdown of non-vaccinated citizens.

“That is fascism,” he said, calling the lockdown a method “reminiscent of the 1930s”.
Vienna took a dim view. Croatia’s ambassador to Austria was summoned – and told in no uncertain terms that “the comparison between the measures against the Covid-19 pandemic and fascism is unacceptable”.

Milanovic is also at odds with the government of Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, which is planning to penalise officials who refuse to enforce a Covid pass system at workplaces. The president says he “will not harass” his staff to produce a vaccination or test certificate.”

I’ve just been looking at the government’s exemption from jabs page. One of the exemptions now given is allergy to any of the ingredients contained in the vaccine. I listened to Anna de Buisseret being interviewed the other day, where she said that on the vaccine boxes it stated that recipients should be tested for allergies to any of the ingredients. She also suggested that people should be tested for allergies arising from various combinations of the ingredients.

I’ve rung 119 and asked them to send me a form to fill in, to claim an exemption from the jabs. I will be asking for exemption as I don’t know if I’m allergic to the ingredients as I haven’t been tested for allergies. I intend to play the family medical history card too. I thought claiming an exemption from testing for Covid was a step too far, although I’ve never had a test up to yet.

Oh and an update on the jabbed v unjabbed- 2020 2 people known to me “tested” positive, 2021 I now know personally 11 fully jabbed people who have “tested” positive.

And so you fell straight into the trap. It is an inalienable right to make informed consent to medical treatment, and thus a personal choice that need not be justified. The moment one crumbles to this latest psy-op, one effectively dismisses this key right enshrined by Nuremberg code.
There are zillions of good reasons to not take this killer experimental jab, period, and I have no intention of proving I might be allergic to a particular ingredient. Such cowardice amounts to nothing more than asking “pretty please” to the Big Pharma Big State tyranny to be officially exempt, while still sanctioning the apartheid vaxx polices being put in place.

I see exemptions from both masks and jabs as the government’s get out clause. Any adverse effects and it will turn round and say “Ah but you didn’t have to have the jab or you didn’t have to wear a mask, you could have exempted yourself”

I think the point BJF was making was that asking for an exemption is a form of going along with the mandate – we should not need to ask for an exemption, it should be sufficient to just say we don’t want to be jabbed and it’s none of anyone’s business why we choose that.

You are still playing the government game, and allowing them to blur a clear ethical issue by changing it into a medical issue. This is a slippery slope. The key ethical cornerstones of ‘informed choice’ and ‘first do no harm’ should be unchanging constants, because regardless of the individual ingredients these vaxxes have NOT been properly tested.
Lack of allergy to the individual ingredients does not guarantee safety against adverse reactions to the final processed cocktail of ingredients – as tens of thousands have found out to their cost when taking this still experimental treatment. And, let’s say the offending ingredient was removed, then you would surely be obliged to take the jab?

I thought that pointing out this exemption might be helpful to people on here who are threatened with loss of livelihood as Wendy has said.

It’s a de facto war, so old normal rules do not apply. Nobody was ‘conned into having the jab to travel’, as in most cases travel simply meant holidays. Who would risk their life and long term health for a sun tan? If more people has said NO from the off, as Prof Ferguson himself admitted, the scam would have crumbled within weeks (or airline after airline would have bit the dust among other things). The irony is, now these people are long term vaxx addicts the same government will still prevent them travelling for other reasons (not enough jabs or green carbon credits or whatever), so little sympathy there. Those whose jobs are threatened, and this includes many of us, have to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and instead think it out carefully, as our unions are not backing us up. However, as I have said before on here, surely market economics will dictate that tens of thousands of unemployed unjabbed health and care workers (for example) will be a huge asset to an Alternative Health Service for the millions of us unjabbed patients who have paid into the NHS but are effectively now excluded from treatments at present.… Read more »

I clearly said in most cases travel simply meant holidays’. In this case you talking about the Hitchens excuse.
No matter how uncomfortable the reality or difficult the circumstances, taking a jab is an act of submission to the State and Big Pharma drug pushers unless one is 100% convinced it is for sound medical reasons. To take it for any other reason (no matter how good or worthy this seems) is an act of folly at best and self delusion at worst.
Besides, there are far more critical existential battles ahead, and if people are going to be taken in so easily by government propaganda and coercion then it’s probably best get it over with quickly. A strong family should understand a principled stance, and not demand other members risk their health just to travel to see them. And if one of the parents die of the vaxx (as at least 1 in 24,000 vaxxees already have) or suffer serious side effects, then what?

Actually we don’t know all the ingredients yet, do we?

I think the MPs who voted against the renewal of the legislation in March 2021 are a fair indication of which ones value individual freedom more than their own career and bank balance. To sum up: roughly the Labour left, the Tory right, Lib.Dems and Green.

There seem to be 3-4 legal barriers to mandating the jab at the moment. IMO the regime is playing the same psychological games it’s played since March 2020 and is doing whatever the psychologists have told it to do.

(N.B. I won’t dignify it with the word ‘government’.)

Just say “I am exempt” (whether you say more might depend on their question). You could make a relevant QR code if you use those gadgets. The “get out” clause, which is hidden to some extent, is there to defend themselves against being done for offences they are well aware of. For the time being, they need to comply with the relevant Acts – such as the Human Rights Act 1998, & the Equalities Act 2010; could be more.

I agree with you Finlayson.

From what I have found out about the “exemptions” you face a hidden assessment (in effect a secret, closed, court where you have no idea on what grounds you can justify yourself.)

The government are not disclosing the medical grounds for assessment of claims for exemption. This is clearly illegal, as any judgement of medical need should be transparent and the grounds clearly laid out to the applicant and the assessor.

This is so that the legality and justice of the judgement can be seen by both parties.

There is also no appeal against a mistaken judgement.
Since when was this legal?

None of this should stand up in court and my instinct is not to involve myself in such malfeasance.

It will be many years, if ever, before we claw back the once inalienable rights and basic civil liberties that have been ripped away by emergency legislation since March 2020. Too many people, educated people at that in many cases, failing to think and question hard wtf is going on – let alone stand up to it!

Hi Margaret, I am sure I am allergy to PEG and another of the ingredients. I won’t ask for allergy testing because I don’t want the vaccine any way and I don’t want to participate in vaccine passes in any guise. My stand on this though doesn’t impact my life so I can do this, perhaps you and others might need to seek any exemption possible to keep your job.

Sounds a lot like Pelosi’s explanation of the Affordable Health Care Act – “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it”.

Spot on; however, in the pre EUA minute trial, the manufacturers did not test a cohort with known allergies as far as I can discover – only “healthy” people – in the sae way they did not test pregnant women. They now have and the effect on the numbers of women who had spontaneous miscarriages ( i.e medically within the first 20 weeks of confinement, used by midwives and Obstetricians for decades and not simply adopted for these miniscule trials ) has been horrific. This is detailed in a report by two very brave Kiwi doctors – available on The Expose.

You should not need to ask for it; just declare it. Filling out a form effectively lets them in. They won’t admit that, of course. Nothing wrong with keeping private evidence on the back burner, of course, but no-one should take the risk of asking why you declared it.

Yes, ’twas I, except that ‘temperamental’, ‘immature’, ‘volatile’ and ‘disrespectful’ applied to Nick Kyrgios, not Novak, but Novak is not exactly a ‘gentleman player’ like Roger Federer. Still, Novak is doing the right thing, the ethical thing. And so is Kyrgios. And Pat Cash, for that matter, in challenging the Covid/Vaxx authoritariansim. Kudos to them all.

Who thought that it would be millionaire tennis players helping to lead the charge and inspiring lesser mortals to do likewise.

As a strictly amateur (very amateur) tennis player back in the day for Adelaide University’s bottom grade, who frequently suffered from delusions of adequacy, I have some new tennis heroes, now.

look at figure 1 in this new ONS report. Chance of testing positive for triple jabbed is very very similar to those with previous covid. Both around 20% chance compared to unvax+never infected.

previous infection will be far lower than that because this category includes people who never got over the initial infection. they find it hard to remove those people and sometimes use ‘had to have 3 negatives and wait a month’ or similar but I don’t think they have here. other data shows genuine reinfection to be miniscule

So a typical argument in favour of vaccine passports goes something like this:

“You’re worried about adverse side effects? Well, just look at the info leaflet in a pack of Ibuprofen, for instance, and you’ll see that the list of side effects from the regular taking of anti-inflammatory easily matches that of the Covid vaccinations.”

Right, so therefore Ibuprofen is made available to be taken at the user’s discretion and the doctor’s advice. Put simply, you absolutely cannot make something in any way mandatory or a requirement for living a normal life, if it has the risk of causing death or severe harm no matter how unlikely that is.

So if vaccine-related deaths amount to something like one in a million (don’t know the real figure, but for argument’s sake), then sure, they should be made available to anyone who considers the benefits to be greater than the risks to themselves. But would it be ethical to enforce a million people to play a game of Russian Roulette using a gun with one bullet and a million chambers?

So if vaccine-related deaths amount to something like one in a million (don’t know the real figure, but for argument’s sake),

At least 1 in 24,000, as this figure is subject to under-reporting so could be several times higher. Also recent VAERS data has shown that the the under 18s are more susceptible to adverse vaxx reactions than adults. Put another way, when you vaxx a million people 40 will die, as sure as lining them up against a wall and shooting them – and that does not include other side effects or the long term impact of becoming a spike protein factory.

Germanic people are nice in normal times but seem to be very efficient and obedient Order Followers. At the end of the day the tyrants give the orders but it is the Order Followers who are ultimately guilty for the genocide as they personally do the killing. Did the likes of Stalin and Ho Chi Minh ever kill personally?

You can guarantee one thing, when the camps open it will all be ‘mistake’ and ‘conspiracy’ to many on this site.

According to my nephew who is living in Dusseldorf at the moment, they are not at all efficient and the bureaucracy is horrendous. It took him a couple of months to get broadband installed in his apartment and he had to give up trying to register his car so he could use it over there as they wanted so much paperwork, going right back to its manufacture pretty much which of course he didn’t have. But they are very obedient order followers in his view, like you say.

Need some legal advice. I was just refused treatment by a dentist because I refused to wear a mask when walking between the reception and the treatment room. I said I was exempt – they asked me for proof and then refused to see me when I refused to show them proof, informing them that they are by law not allowed to ask me for this. Was I correct? Do I have any recourse? Can anyone recommend a lawyer? I’m not going to drag their name through the mud yet. Holding that in reserve.

My dentist made no objection to my not wearing a mask, either in waiting room or while walking to treatment room, just accepted when I said I didn’t wear a mask. Sorry you had such a problem and hope someone can advise you – are you in England as I imagine the rules are a bit different in Scotland and Wales?

I was maskless at the dentist in Scotland a few weeks ago. No one said a word. I’ve hardly ever been challenged for not wearing one. I think most folk would rather not wear one, but when you’ve accepted the whole narrative about how deadly other people are, it’s difficult to take a definite step that goes against the flow.
