Well written, Mr. Constantino. Mr. Djokovic should be everyone’s hero for not folding to bullies and subjecting himself to a jab that does not vaccinate (but does cause anticipated and unanticipated side effects, including death). In the race for the most Grand Slam tennis tournament wins, Nadal deserves an asterisk next to his name since Djokovic was not allowed to compete in the Australian Open, not because of injury, but due to Australia’s nonsense COVID restrictions. Let’s not forget Djokovic was allowed to fly to, and was physically present in, Australia at the time.

Hey, Constantino, what Federal, State or County level government agency declared that the Covid pandemic is over in March? NONE! People are still getting sick, and, or, testing positive. With all the new and different variants of Covid still out there, and people are still wearing masks, anybody with common sense would know that it ain't over yet. Those draconian rules like lockdowns and mandating vaccines, is what kept you, TY, and all Californians alive. I guess it is too hard for you and TY to understand that. It's guys like you that will keep this covid pandemic lasting longer than it has to.

Hey Mike O haven’t you heard, masks don’t work. People wearing them are still getting sick, and, or, testing positive. Hey Mike O, haven’t you heard, your so-called “vaccine” doesn’t vaccinate. People with multiple jabs of this “vaccine” are still getting sick, and, or, testing positive. Hey Mike O, haven’t you heard, lockdowns haven’t made a whit of difference. People that were locked down are still getting sick, and, or, testing positive as much as people who were not locked down. I guess the facts are too hard for you to understand.

Hero? Not hardly. Djokovic is a joke. A bad joke. If everyone followed his example we would have far more serious Covid related illnesses with increased fatalities. He deserves every rebuke he gets. It is about time we heed the scientific professionals with something so important as our health.
