Juries are "our" voice and by that I mean the British publics.
Dont knock it because you dont like this particular verdict.
One day someone you support might be saved by one. It works both ways.
There are plenty of cases of juries delivering a verdict that may seem at odds with the evidence. Thats our legal system and has been for centruries.

Not specific to this guy at all (haven't seen any of his videos), more a quick thought on online personalities in general.

It's funny how far down the Katie Hopkins route so many online commentators have gone now. As algorithyms, eyeballs and anger slot so well together you get less and see nuanced takes on anything at all. Perspectives, both left and right, so transparent as to make the contribution pointless. You'll see a video someone has posted, look at the channel and it's so incredibly lopsided all it does is speak to the constant pointless reinforcement of half truths.

Excellent sensible post there Dolphin.

I'll ignore your insult and clarify further.

I'm making a comment that the most tried and tested route of a 'Youtube' (or other platform) commentator is to overplay the 'echo chamber' side of things to the point of near absurdity where it's clapping seals territory rather than a nuanced assessment of anything. There are exceptions of course but they are few are far between because it's just not the nature of current online culture for that to be of much interest.

Far from this being a nothing point, it's something that has been heavily exacerbated by social media platforms. The partisan locking of horns keeps eyeballs on screens and so is what algorithms promote above more sensible contributions. This in turn feeds into outlooks and behaviours such as those mentioned here. In short, people are more amendment than ever that they're entirely 'right' and so act accordingly, when there is always more nuance to life. Denial of which is what drives much of what is negative around us.

OK, since you asked

Djokovic is not vaccinated.

He has had covid recently

The R rate has been running at over 1 and significantly more since Omicron. Therefore it is likely Djokovic infected a minimum of one other person

Vaccines are effective. With the booster they provide over 90% protection from symptomatic infection

Ergo Djokovic in all probability unnecessarily caused someone to catch covid. Let’s hope whoever he infected didn’t end up going into hospital.

Maybe it’s time you grew up and recognised the selfishness in not getting vaccinated, especially in the case of people like Djokovic who is a global role model.

Beyond the vaccination point, there are varying approaches and rules that countries have brought in during this time. Much like when professional d!ickhead Katie Hopkins tried to get in, there is understandable public anger where people feel that there is a 'one rule for us' 'one for them' situation going on. Public reaction to the (possibly dodgy) ' medical exemption' brought up by the man himself was one of the key reasons this is panning out as it is. If he'd not made that post I doubt it would've even become an issue that was known or cared about to begin with.

Though from a personal perspective, I don't think travel restrictions really achieve a great deal with Omicron. We're likely in 'whatever will be will be' territory regardless.
