Same rules apply, you friend just missed it.meganfernandez wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 4:42 pm A former State Dept friend of mine noticed that the law says people to the US arriving by plane must be vaccinated. He wondered if Djokovic could arrive by boat or through Mexico or Canada. I assume the same law applies by land or sea and he just didn't see that version, but it's a funny image, Novak pulling up in a yacht.

I guess Wertheim deleted his tweet?

All it said was (paraphrasing) "this is what the players are receiving now" along with the above image.

Djokovic has 80% stake in biotech firm developing Covid drug
QuantBioRes is working on a treatment not a vaccine, but CEO says tennis star is ‘not anti-vax’
Novak Djokovic is the controlling shareholder in a Danish biotech firm aiming to develop a treatment for Covid-19 that does not involve vaccination, it has emerged.
The world No 1, who was deported from Australia this week after the government cancelled his visa in a dispute over a medical exemption relating to his unvaccinated status, bought an 80% stake in QuantBioRes in 2020.
Ivan Loncarevic, the company’s chief executive, confirmed the investment to Reuters. He subsequently told the Financial Times that he had not spoken to Djokovic, who has won more than $150m in prize money, since November and that the tennis star was “not anti-vax”.
Djokovic flew out of Australia on Sunday after losing a legal challenge to overturn the cancellation of his visa by Alex Hawke, the country’s immigration minister, who said Djokovic’s presence in Australia might risk “civil unrest” as he was a “talisman of anti-vaccination sentiment”.
QuantBioRes has about 11 researchers working in Denmark, Australia and Slovenia, according to Loncarevic, who stressed the company was working on a treatment, not a vaccine. The company’s website says it started developing a “deactivation mechanism” for Covid-19 in July 2020.
Djokovic, who may also be barred from defending his French Open title in Roland Garros in May after the French government ruled on Monday that all athletes will have to be vaccinated in order to attend and compete in sporting events, acquired his stake in the company in June 2020.
The company is developing a peptide, which inhibits the coronavirus from infecting the human cell, and it expects to launch clinical trials in Britain this summer, Loncarevic said.
A spokesperson for Djokovic did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Re: C19 and Tennis
106 points, all that legal prep and all the hearings. What a waste of everyone's time. Probably delayed immigration proceedings for someone for whom it's really life-changing to have the hearing. I still say it's Tennis Australia's fault.

Re: C19 and Tennis
What are the points? Do you mean they made 106 points in their written verdict? Agree about them resources. Such a shame. Tennis Australia is certainly culpable, but Djokovic didn't have to rely on them to know if he could enter the country legally. I'm surprised he didn't do the due diligence under the circumstances... unless he thought he needed TA's help to enter the country, which tells you right there something was wrong.

Novax, according to Marian, has been hit "mentally", and is "hurt".

The Daily podcast from the New York Times today is about Djokovic and the larger picture of Australia's immigration philosophy. The guest/expert is the Times' bureau chief in Australia.

Re: C19 and Tennis
Reading up on this company makes one think Novax is being taken for a ride. Dr Darren Saunders, an Australian biomedical scientist,in his opinion says it was “a stretch” for QuantBioRes to call itself a biotech company. “The ‘innovative technology’ they describe on their website does not reflect contemporary understanding of how biochemistry works,” Saunders said. “If any athletes or other potential investors would like advice on not blowing their cash on this stuff, my fees are reasonable.”MJ2004 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 10:27 pm Djokovic has 80% stake in biotech firm developing Covid drug
