"Novak Djokovic is actually healthier than those who took an experimental drug" - Serb's fans slam Australia's former Home Affairs minister for suggesting that he should not be allowed at 2023 Australian Open

A day before the 2022 Australian Open began in January, Novak Djokovic was deported from the country due to his unvaccinated status against COVID-19. The government also prevented the Serb from entering Australia for the next three years.However, with a change in the Australian government in May, there's a good chance that the decision will be overturned and the 21-time Grand Slam champion's visa will be reinstated. Apart from the Australian Open, Djokovic was also barred from entering the United States to participate in the 2022 US Open.Former Home Affairs minister Karen Andrews recently weighed in on the tennis icon's chances of playing in Australia next year. She stated that if the Serb is allowed to play, it will be a &quot;slap in the face&quot; for those who took the vaccine.&quot;Allowing Novak Djokovic to play at next year’s Australian Open would be a slap in the face for people who did the right thing and got vaccinated,&quot; Andrews said.Rebel News Australia@RebelNews_AUAllowing Novak Djokovic to play at next year’s Australian Open would be a “slap in the face” for people who “did the right thing” and got vaccinated, former home affairs minister Karen Andrews says. rebelne.ws/3ytOrIk13046Allowing Novak Djokovic to play at next year’s Australian Open would be a “slap in the face” for people who “did the right thing” and got vaccinated, former home affairs minister Karen Andrews says. rebelne.ws/3ytOrIkThe Serb's fans were quick to come to his defense on Twitter and call out Andrews for her remarks. They once again claimed that vaccines were of no use whatsoever and that the tennis star was healthier than the rest of the athletes on the tour.&quot;And that vaccines have help them and me how excatly???
