    Well, FWIW, I got three shots myself, as I felt getting vaxxed was the
    best thing for me.

    But, I admire Joker greatly for the stance he took in not getting
    vaxxed. IMO it should have been a true individual choice, not a "false
    choice" where governments bullied people in to getting vaxxed at the
    threat of losing their jobs or being unable to attend schools.

    IMO mandatory vaxxing should have only been for people working in
    medical facilities.

    Before last year, I was historically neutral towards Joker - admired his results but was indifferent to him as a player in a fan sense. Since he
    endured what I thought was absurd treatment by the Aussie authorities,
    and the silly treatment of being banned from entering the USA to play
    the US Open, and then just last week with some criticizing his Kosovo
    comments, I have become a fan.

    He's a man, he stands by his principles, as far as I can tell.

    I had three vaxes. They were free.

    Very early after work trip 2020 I was one-day ill "differently". Way before we knew?

    Then 2022 my wife (with all vaxxes) had a fuzzy feeling for a day (7/9 of event stuff had Covid)

    But I never got any confirmation (me thinks, guts feeling - not for me)
