Having in mind how divided people are on the question of the vaccine, any news on the matter can intensify the debate even further. This is what happened when the news about Serbian professional tennis player Novak Djokovic broke, announcing that his visa to Australia was denied. This has made a lot of people question the player and the whole situation. Some people online decided to look at this matter from a more humorous perspective, so soon various funny memes and reactions started circulating on Twitter, most of them being against Djokovic being given the opportunity to participate in the Australian Open tennis tournament.

The Australian Open tennis tournament will start on the 17th of January this year and will end on the 30th of January. Given the situation that the whole world has to deal with, Australia is known to be a country that is succeeding in tackling the virus as 90% of its population have been vaccinated, and a requirement for all those who come to Australia to be vaccinated is in place. So those who were welcomed to participate in the tournament could only receive their visa if they are vaccinated. There are some exceptions made for those who cannot be vaccinated because of their medical conditions, but an exemption can only be granted in these severe cases with a credible explanation of the situation. One of the cases in which a person can be granted an exemption is when they are severely allergic to the vaccine.
