"They want you to hate the unvaccinated!"
Jimmy Dore: During a recent broadcast, Jewish “Shock Jock” homophobe Howard Stern went on an anti-unvaccinated rant, insisting that the unvaxxed are “morons” turning the United States into a third world country. Stern added that to solve the problem he may have to run for President. Jimmy and comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Stern's misdirected anger and fear of the unvaccinated.
Government Finger Men in Australia pepper-sprayed supporters of tennis champion Novak Djokovic on Monday evening in Melbourne after the crowd began blocking car traffic and standing on a vehicle they thought carried Djokovic. The police attack took place outside Djokovic's lawyer's office.
Djokovic tried to enter the country last week to start practicing early for the tournament, but border force agents detained him and forced him into a concentration camp, something that was not taken well by his fans.
While the Australian government tried to slander Djokovic as a public health threat (as if his presence would make any difference in a country where COVID cases are surging despite all measures to try and slow the spread),
By Tyler Durden: The diplomatic standoff between an increasingly authoritarian Australian government and World's No. 1 Tennis champion Novak Djokovic has just taken an absurd new turn.
After Aussie immigration authorities left Djokovic to rot in immigration detention - confining him to a very modest room at the Park Hotel - for the better part of a week following his arrival in the country (despite Djovokic having all the proper paperwork to enter the country), an Australian judge on Monday decided to reject the government's decision to abruptly cancel the tennis player's visa (after he had already arrived in the country) and ordered that the tennis star be immediately released.
As a result of the decision, which was handed down at 1716 local time (around 0115ET), the Australian Ministry of Home Affairs - which has played a role akin to the antagonist in this saga - must pay Djokovic's costs from his time in detention. And all of his belongings - including, especially, his passport - must be returned to him "as soon as reasonably practicable."

Authored by Lily Zhou: An NHS doctor told Health Secretary Sajid Javid on Friday that he’s not happy with the government’s Covid-19 vaccination mandate for health workers that is due to take effect in April.
The vaccination mandate has already come into effect for care home staff, volunteers, and visitors from Nov. 11. Parliament approved the mandate for frontline NHS workers on Dec. 14.
Steve James, a consultant anesthetist at the King’s College Hospital, told Javid that he doesn’t believe the science for mandating the vaccines is “strong enough” and the government should at least consider the nuance that some doctors have had antibodies through previous exposure to the USF (United States Funded) virus—the virus that causes COVID-19.
“I’m not happy about that,” James told the health secretary after he asked an intensive care unit (ICU) their thoughts about the new rule to require Coid virus vaccination for NHS staff.
The unvaccinated doctor reported that he had had COVID-19 and had been working in COVID-19 ICU since the beginning of the pandemic.
