But that one was worth sharing...

On Tennis Twitter when the the Sports Minister made the previous announcement saying he'd be allowed to play, I saw many asking if they had bothered to check with Macron on that. Macron hasn't been playing with these anti-vaxxers so it seemed like it might be a stretch when the statement was made.

Correct, IW, Miami, Cincy, and US Open are a no at the moment. The NBA has considerably more pull than the ATP or ITF here, and the NBA told their foreign players earlier in the season that those holding temporary visas who are unvaccinated are banned from travel to Toronto for any games there as they have no guarantee on a timetable for when they are able to re-enter under US regulations. Also, Canada's new rules should be in place sometime this month, so no Toronto/Montreal Masters either if no changes made by the summer.

Wimbledon is seeming like his lone hope for a GS in 2022 (and that's on him).

He is in Belgrade now, and there is no doubt that he will find a doctor that will provide him with a certificate, but will not vaccinate him.
Dr. Makim Dissup will sign his certificate.

At this point with as shoddy a record of honesty as he's got, if he's not publicly shown getting a vaccine (which would surely be a special vial of salt or sugar water), not sure who would believe him. He's putting Serbia in a very tough spot acting like this and getting official sources to lie or cover up for for him.

That can't be a good thing, injecting sugar water into a vein. I get that you didn't mean it literally, but it did make me wonder, what would happen?

I did mean it literally. Placebos are typically sugar or salt water.

Huh, guess it's safe. Of course, it's not going into a vein (I misspoke). It's just a muscle injection.

There are some rumors that Novax is getting a sponsorship with Master Card.
Because his application for VISA was rejected.

McEnroe went on a rant about how Novax had "guts" to go down under with no vaccines. Sure, nobody is denying he has guts. The questions revolve around "brains".
It wasn't guts. It was classic chutzpah.

Did anyone see that interview with McEnroe? I did. At best, he was “flexible with the knowledge” as someone on Twitter put it. It was an absolute embarrassment and I’m just so done listening to him.

I read the transcript and it did sound on the looney side. I don't mind if you are going to be on Novax' side, but at least be coherent.

Oh is there a transcript or video? I didn't see anything he said.
