I understand that not being vaccinated today, I’m unable to travel to most of the tournaments at the moment. And that is the price I’m willing to pay, Novak Djokovic, via interview broadcast by BBC.
Djokovic also affirmed that he is not part of the anti-vax movement, despite his stance.
I was never against vaccination... But I have always represented and supported the freedom to choose what you put into your body, Novak Djokovic, via interview broadcast by BBC.
I have never said I am part of that movement. It’s really unfortunate that there has been this kind of misconception and wrong conclusion that has been made around the world, Novak Djokovic, via interview broadcast by BBC.
