In the peak months of the Covid-19 pandemic, Novak Djokovic, the Serbian tennis player who currently holds the world No 1 position in men바카라s singles, made headlines when, in the run-up to the 2022 Australian Open, the 35-year-old was deported from the country as he had not taken his vaccination against Covid-19.
While Australian authorities exempted the Serbian tennis player, Djokovic faces a similar debacle still ahead of the US Open in August this year. Djokovic was unable to get to New York for the season바카라s last Grand Slam tournament in 2022, and he also missed the Miami Open and BNP Paribas Open because he never got the shots against the coronavirus disease.
Djokovic was not the only famous person to oppose the Covid-19 vaccine as many other celebrities have expressed their scepticism and hesitancy regarding the available data on the same.
Here바카라s a list of celebrities who refused to take the jab:
Joe Rogan
Popular podcaster Joe Rogan was criticised last year for spreading misinformation about Covid-19 vaccination after he called it. The broadcaster, who hosts a Spotify podcast where he gets celebrities to talk about a variety of issues, was accused of spreading lies about the vaccine.
Rogan had criticised the American government and the CDC's approach to the pandemic and brought guests on the platform, some of whom aided the misinformation.
The podcaster later apologised in an Instagram video post, saying he was sorry to Spotify for having to face the heat of it all. He also said his goal was to get people with 바카라different opinions바카라, reported, admitting that he 바카라doesn바카라t always get it right바카라.
Rob Schneider
A former Saturday Night Live (SNL) star, actor and comedian Rob Schneider made several controversial statements on Twitter and shared anti-vax memes when the rest of the world was trying to get their hands on the Covid-19 vaccine to return to normalcy. Schneider has been lobbying against vaccines since 2012.
During the pandemic, the actor urged his Twitter followers to 바카라just say no바카라, inaccurately called the Covid-19 vaccine an "experimental gene therapy", and even used hashtags like "2ndAmendmentIsForThis" to challenge the immunisation programme.
Novak Djokovic
Djokovic, the world No. 1 tennis player, who is currently tied with Rafael Nadal, has been opposing the need to be vaccinated since April 2020, as the pandemic raged. 바카라I바카라m not vaccinated and I바카라m not planning to get vaccinated,바카라 he was quoted as saying by Raquet.com and reiterated the same to several other media outlets.
Aaron Rodgers
In November 2021, in a chaotic unveiling, when NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers tested positive for Covid-19, it was revealed that he had not taken the vaccine. According to reports, it was found out that his initial claim of being 바카라immunized바카라 was a reference to a homoeopathic treatment purported to raise his antibody levels. Rodgers apologised for the confusion but did not specify if or when he planned to get the shot.
Kyrie Irving
NBA player Kyrie Irving, who plays for Brooklyn Nets, had refused to get the shot and subsequently missed two seasons of the NBA in 2022. He was brought back to the team in December after many of his teammates tested Covid positive. The athlete has reportedly not taken the vaccine still and he is not allowed to play in New York due to the city바카라s mandate.
Offset
Offset is an American rapper, part of a group called Migos. In 2020, the rapper expressed scepticism and told TMZ that he does not trust it. During a with the Migos, which also contained misinformation about vaccination, Offset reiterated that although he바카라s 바카라not an anti-vaxxer바카라, he would like to wait.
Ye
American rapper Kanye West, who now goes by the name Ye, has expressed in the past that he was about the Covid-19 vaccine. In an interview with Drink Champs, in November 2021, he declared that he was not fully immunised but 바카라half-ccinated바카라 with only one shot. As a result, the rapper has been restricted for travel from many places. However, he has not commented on the matter since.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj stirred the anti-vax debate when on the night of the 2021 Met Gala, the rapper declared she was not attending because she was not vaccinated against Covid-19. She had claimed to have known several side effects 바카라 including one of her cousins whose testicles had 바카라swollen바카라 after taking the jab and he had become 바카라impotent바카라 바카라 saying that was the reason behind her hesitancy.
It is not clear if Minaj got vaccinated since but she did attend the Met Gala next year.
