“I WAS never against vaccination. I understand that globally, everyone is trying to put a big effort into handling this virus and seeing, hopefully, an end soon to this virus.”

Novak Djokovic’s claim that “we are all trying to find, collectively, a best possible solution to end Covid” rings rather hollow when he sees fit to announce to his many fans that he’d rather not play tennis than get a jab.

He appears to have failed to grasp the idea that vaccination is not just an individual’s protection against illness but is a proven collective effort to eradicate disease, protecting the weak along with the strong.
