My cmnt: Yet another otherwise healthy individual who took the Jab, was fully vaccinated and received all of the boosters dies suddenly of heart failure. Many others, like Howard Stern (who also shamed the unvaxxed), receive every vaccine and booster known to man but still contract Covid-19 (or some variant) and become deathly ill and nearly die before recovering in a weakened and susceptible state for the rest of their lives.

My cmnt: These Leftist Fascist Covid goons demanded untested, dangerous vaccines be pumped into everybody and most heinously children, while denying the inexpensive and readily available remedials to those who wanted them, denied the known, strong, scientific efficacy of natural or acquired immunity (see my post on hormesis) which was multiple times more effective than the claimed efficacy of the jab, denied the natural immunity of healthy young people under the age of 19, vastly overstated the deaths from Covid compared with the deaths with Covid, et al.

Blessedly, the debate over the COVID vaccine has died off. The ‘Karens’ have retreated into their darkened lairs. The world has reopened. No one sane wears masks anymore. Only the weirdos and the Democrats continue to abide by the social distancing protocols that were ineffective. Yet, while these Fauci commandments were atrocious, the drama over the vaccine will never fade. We were lied to about the efficacy. 

The madness over the mandates turned some of the world’s best athletes into social pariahs, even barring them from competition. Aaron Rodgers was raked over the coals regarding the controversy concerning his vaccination status. The future hall of famer and Super Bowl champion couldn’t take the vaccines over concerns about allergies to its ingredients. Yet, Rodgers’ treatment was no match for what Novak Djokovic endured. 

The crowd heckles Novak Djokovic: “Get vaccinated!”

Djokovic: Serves an ace.

😂 Gotta love it.

Djokovic, the world’s current number-one ranked tennis player, was barred from the 2022 Australian Open over his refusal to get vaccinated. It led to his detention and eventual deportation. He was heckled at matches over the matter. His 2023 season was something of a comeback year, not that he suffered any significant injuries, but because the world has returned to a resemblance of sanity post-pandemic. Djokovic has also played at an elite level. But one person known throughout the tennis world won’t be able to write more about Djokovic: Mike Dickson, the reporter who attacked him over his vaccination status, even going so far as to suggest his legacy could be impacted. He collapsed and died in Melbourne while covering the Australian Open. Djokovic offered his condolences to the family. Dickson was only 59 (via Associated Press):

Today, everyone thinks they would have been an abolitionist if they’d been alive 170 years ago. In reality the vast majority of any society conforms to prevailing opinion. In antebellum era, for example, only 2% of northerners were abolitionists. In 2021, an almost equally small… https://t.co/CnVQGI8rsc— Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) December 11, 2023

British tennis writer Mike Dickson has died while covering the Australian Open in Melbourne. He was 59. 

His death was announced Wednesday by his wife, Lucy, in a joint message with the family on X, formerly Twitter. It was confirmed by The Daily Mail, the British newspaper where Dickson had worked since 1990. 

“We are devastated to announce that our wonderful husband and Dad, Mike, has collapsed and died while in Melbourne for the Aus Open,” the Dickson family wrote in a post on his X account. 

[…] 

The Australian Open said it was “shocked and saddened” to hear of the death of Dickson, someone the event organizers called “our long-standing colleague and friend.” 

Dickson, who lived in Wimbledon, was a cricket correspondent at the Mail before moving to tennis. The newspaper said he covered 30 different sports across nearly 50 countries in total.

Condolences to Mike Dickson family 🙏 Rest in Peace https://t.co/skSMgwvBcZ— Novak Djokovic (@DjokerNole) January 18, 2024

NEW: 59-year old sports reporter Mike Dickson, who despised tennis star Novak Djokovic for not getting vaccinated, suddenly dies while covering the Australian Open.

Holy s***.

Is this another ‘died suddenly’ case, where someone otherwise young and healthy who got the COVID shot passed away? We don’t know, but it hasn’t stopped others from noting the irony. Djokovic handled it like a pro—let’s leave it at that. Others around the tennis and sports world also paid tribute to Dickson, known as ‘Mr. Wimbledon.’

As an aside, the scores of young folks who took the vaccine and developed severe side effects is another part of this COVID saga that never got a fair shake. If you talked about it, you were a conspiracy theorist. If you wrote about it, you got banned. The pervasive campaign to shut down debate or even discuss matters that come with any new vaccine was unprecedented and undemocratic. And that’s why, among other things, the medical regime might never be trusted again; at the very least, they will be met with extreme skepticism whenever another pathogen supposedly threatens mankind.

With COVID, the ‘take the shot, take off the mask’ salesman pitch quickly disintegrated when Omicron arrived and got everyone else sick. It hit liberals especially hard, shattering their self-righteous position on the whole matter: they did everything right and got infected like the rest of us. Notice how the lefty schadenfreude over those who contracted the virus or died from infection ceased after that wave. 

Still, the Djokovic-Dickson dynamic with his passing is jarring. 

Readers’ Comments

Us in sanity land still pay attention to covid related stories like this. The lemmings have put their heads back in their asses and don’t want to talk about it, even when people are dying.

You would think people would want to know more about why we are funding viral mutation research in China. Or why the government violated constitutional rights, and not permit these things to be swept under the rug.

Why was Obama, Gates, Birx and Fauci in Wuhan to begin with ?
They are traitors and dealing with the enemy is Treason!

Yes, why do we fund anything in China, our enemy and holder of trillions of our national debt? There is no valid, non-sinister reason.

I’ve been reaching that conclusion myself.

Or as our revered past president called it “Jina”

However, pre-Covid, the cause of death was almost always reported in the story. Now, ssoooo many articles say “the cause of death is not yet known”. Furthmore, the CDC knew about the dangers of the jab and chose not to make it public. Had they done so, it may have alleviated what people like Rogers and Djokovik went through in the public shaming self righteous reporters and talk show hosts heaped upon them.

It was the “mandate” that made the whole covid/virus shot thing suck so much. If it had been left up to individual choice I don’t think there would be such an issue today, but when people lost jobs or had freedom taken away by NOT getting the shot it really pissed people off !!!

And those of us who never took the vaccine, or the boosters had to put up with this nonsense for years, as you said, people, lost jobs, or had freedom taken away for standing up for themselves, instead of acting like lemmings

I still like to ask the “oh-so-many-lemmings” out there this simple question: If forced masking, social distancing and vaccine mandates by the government were o.k., well then EXACTLY where do you draw the line that declares “this is too much” while continuously relinquishing their God given freedoms? More often than not their answers are PATHETIC. Scary times it is.

And they ALL want to claim Trump is the authoritarian and maybe even a dictator.

When it comes to vaccines, or any other medication, food, etc. people should have a right to reject. Especially anything that has not gone through trials, research, testing.

MILLIONS of Illegals are STILL not forced to get the jab. Apparently, these NON-CITIZENS are the ONLY ones with rights! Why is that?

Not only that, the illegals bring with them a host of diseases that have been either been eliminated or nearly eliminated here in the US. The unchecked millions walking across a purposefully unprotected border are a ticking time bomb.

Why do the Dimly Lit need a such large reservoir of deadly diseases?
How many reasons do we need, to throw every leftist out of our country?

Because in the Dim Playbook Pg 3 it says that laws are not laws and not-laws are.

Whatever happened to the murderous Left’s rallying cry, “My body, my choice!”

No, no. “My body, my choice” only counts when you want to murder babies.

But HANDS OFF OUR ABORTIONS!!!

I completely agree. I worry every day for my son, forced to get vaccinated even after he had suffered through a Covid infection – no thanks to the medical community which refused to allow cheap, abundant medications to be utilized. He suffered for 10 days before thankfully turning a corner, and because of a stupid deadline, forced to get fully vaccinated within a month of recovery. That was October of 2021. So far has had no problems, and he has not received any boosters, but I don’t know if there is a ticking time bomb that might go off at any time. I know a lot of information is starting to slowly trickle out. I pray that heads will roll.

And, BTW, I never for one minute believed that objections to referring to the Wuhan lab leak theory or calling this the China virus had anything to do with xenophobia concerns. That whole charade was orchestrated to cover the behinds of the U.S. Government generally and Drs. Collins and Fauci specifically, who were directly responsible for funding the research in Wuhan.

Back in 2021 while we were all still masked, I was on a job with a doctor who came in unmasked and smiling ear to ear. She had been vaccinated and was happy and believed that she couldn’t catch the virus or pass the virus along.

I was skeptical because all my life growing up, I would catch a cold and wanted to know why we can’t have a vaccine for colds. Corona virus has been around for a long time and all of us have had that virus and there is no cure or vaccine for it.

So why and how all of a sudden were they able to come up with a vaccine to eradicate covid? They didn’t. They quietly redefined the definition of vaccine and published it at the CDC website on September 2nd, 2021 and rolled out the “vaccines.” They lied and millions — no, billions believed. Including medical professionals that should have known better. And some ordinary person like me knew better than a trained physician. And that’s incredible.

And Donald Trump went along with this. Much as I love Donald Trump, he was in way over his head on this and it brought him down and the rest of us with it.

Sir Novak, you’re a class act… best wishes and success in your hall of fame career in sports and humanity…
