Anti-Vaxxers Are Praising Novak Djokovic As Their 'Unvaxxed Sperm Hero'

Novak Djokovic has become a 'hero' in the anti-vaccination movement.

The world number one male tennis player won his right to stay in Australia and play in this month's Grand Slam.

He had his visa cancelled by Australian Border Force last week for not providing enough evidence to support his medical exemption for not being vaccinated against the virus.

His team argued that he contracted Covid-19 last month and believed that would be suitable protection against the virus.

That decision to cancel his visa was overturned this week and Djokovic was free to compete in the tennis tournament.

While he was shacked up in a Melbourne quarantine hotel waiting for his appeal case to happen, the Serbian tennis player quickly attracted a massive online following of anti-vaxxers.

According to Vice News, his win in the Melbourne Federal Circuit Court only added to his infamy and people against Covid-19 vaccinations have praised him as a 'hero'.

Not only that, but apparently now his sperm is super valuable.

The news outlet noted how Telegram message boards have been going wild since Djokovic legal drama began.

A member of the Unvaxxed Sperm group reportedly wrote: "Without a doubt, his sperm is the most valuable right now. He'd be a great hero for the movement."

Another added: "Can someone talented make memes about Djokovic as our unvaxxed sperm hero?"

There is concern from analysts that Djokovic's court case win will only 'embolden' anti-vaxxers and those against lockdown measures.

It didn't help that Djokovic's dad claimed Novak had been 'arrested' after he won his court case, which turned out to be incorrect.

While the tennis star has been permitted to stay in Australia for now, Immigration Minister Alex Hawke said he was still weighing up whether to launch further action against him.

A spokesperson for Hawke said: "Following today's Federal Circuit and Family Court determination on a procedural ground, it remains within Immigration Minister Hawke's discretion to consider cancelling Mr Djokovic's visa under his personal power of cancellation within section 133C(3) of the Migration Act.

"The Minister is currently considering the matter and the process remains ongoing."

The Sun reports Djokovic could also be looking at a new legal drama over his travel declaration form.

The British newspaper says the tennis star was pictured in two different countries other than Monte Carlo, where he's based, before he flew to Australia to compete in the Grand Slam.

However, Novak reportedly listed in his declaration form that he hadn't travelled anywhere in the 14 days before he arrived.

The Australian Home Affairs Department says 'false or misleading information' is 'a serious offence'.

"If convicted, the maximum penalty is imprisonment for 12 months," it says.
