The continued refusal to allow the world's top-ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic to enter the US to play in the Miami Open tournament defies common sense. The hang-up is that he hasn't received a covid vaccine. The current scientific evidence indicates that (1) the vaccines are not effective in preventing infection or transmission of the virus, (2) Djokovic has already had and recovered from the disease, which means he has natural immunity that is as good as or better than any vaccine-induced resistance to the disease, and (3) vaccination is not required for the millions who have illegally entered the country since the vaccines for covid were available.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' letter to President Biden criticizing the exclusion of this competitor from the tournament as "unfair, unscientific and unacceptable and contrary to the explicit recommendation against vaccination for males aged 18 to 39" was rebuffed by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. "While many doctors have recommended against younger people being vaccinated, the fact is that it is still the policy of this government that all foreigners legally entering the country must be vaccinated," she said. "To make an exception for this one individual would be discriminatory and undermine the obedience to our policy. Instead of being a crybaby about it, Gov DeSantis should appreciate the importance of obedience to maintaining docile and law-abiding behavior among the population. What's more, practically every professional athlete in every sport played in this country has already been injected with the covid vaccine. If, as Florida's Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo contends, the vaccine is detrimental to these young athletes, it would be unfair to allow this foreigner to compete against them without also being jabbed."
Meanwhile, chairman of the Translational Research Informatics Center Dr. Masanori Fukushima says "the extensiveness of adverse health outcomes caused by the mRNA injections ultimately put billions of innocent people in harm's way. Data from the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) shows that deaths caused by the covid vaccines have surpassed those caused by all other vaccines combined in the past 30 years. The negative health consequences of the mRNA shots are already a global issue. The vaccines can potentially spur a wave of heart attacks, strokes and sudden deaths."
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the world's foremost expert on covid and the mRNA vaccines, called Fukushima's views "one-sided. He wasn't in the trenchers battling the pandemic like I was. He didn't have to make the kind of trade-offs I did. Some of those who got the vaccines died, but more survived. Even if he turns out to be right about the long-term consequences, let's not forget that the world is over-populated. If the vaccines help thin the herd, I say that's an unexpected benefit that shouldn't be unappreciated."
