May be too harsh.

He has an explanation. It may not be perfect, but my understanding, for what it's worth as a non-medical person, is that a person who has recently had covid is probably in as robust an immune condition as someone who has had a jab but hasn't had covid.

If I reset my understanding re Australia, I don't see why they wouldn't let him in if he's unlikely to transmit the disease.

I'm not wanting to look for other issues (eg whether he travelled before he ended up in Australia) and failed to tell the truth on his form. It was whether he was likely to bring covid to Australia that really mattered, and whether he was getting a wealthy person's exemption, which isn't the Australian way. Or as some Americans would say, socialism!

Aussie News Anchors Call Djokovic a ‘Lying Sneaky Asshole’ in Leaked Footage

Australian news anchors aired out their real feelings about tennis star Novak Djokovic—and it wasn’t pretty. Footage that leaked of Channel 7’s Rebecca Maddern and Mike Amor during a commercial break showed Maddern saying, “That Djokovic is a lying, sneaky asshole… It’s unfortunate that everyone else stuffed up around him. To go out when you’re COVID-positive—well, I don’t think he even was COVID-positive.” Amor replied, “I think he got a bullshit fucking excuse and then fell over his own fucking lies… But I think he’s going to get away with it.” Djokovic, who is unvaccinated against COVID-19, had traveled to Australia to play in the Australian Open, claiming he had received a medical exemption to the country’s vaccine requirement, citing a positive COVID test Dec. 16. Photos showed him in public without a mask on Dec. 17. After Australian immigration authorities detained him, he won an appeal for release, though an immigration judge must still decide whether he can stay in the country and compete. Maddern has apologized, and Seven Network Director of News and Public Affairs Craig McPherson said in a statement: “The illegal recording was of a private conversation between two colleagues. It was an underhanded, cowardly act.”
