"Novak Djokovic's decision to not get vaccinated is being vindicated" - Tennis fans react after Pfizer makers reveal that vaccine was never tested on preventing transmission 

Novak Djokovic is amongst the few athletes in the world who have chosen not to get vaccinated against COVID-19. The Serb was not allowed to participate in the Australian Open and the US Open Championships this year due to his unvaccinated status.

Tennis legends, critics and fans all over the world have had diverse opinions on his decision. One group of people has continuously accused Djokovic of being selfish, urging him to take the vaccination for the sake of others, while other groups have maintained that the Serb is free to decide what he does with his body.

However, a recent debate between a member of the European Parliament and the director of the leading vaccine maker, Pfizer, has left everyone bamboozled. During the debate, Pfizer's director accepted that the vaccine was never tested on preventing transmission.

Upon hearing this shocking development, Djokovic's fans have yet again come to his defense.

"Novak Djokovic's decision on not being vaccinated is being vindicated all of the time," one fan said.

Another fan called out the Pfizer vaccine makers for supposedly lying to the world about its uses. He also took a shot at people who had urged the former World No. 1 and other unvaccinated people to get vaccinated.

"'At the time of introduction the vaccine had never been tested on stopping the transmission of the virus' They lied to the world!! For all those that said Djokovic & anyone else who is unvaccinated should get vaccinated to help stop the spread of the virus......u were lied to!!" a user wrote.

One user stated that the Serb has been robbed given the new information that has come to light.

"Just a reminder, from the beginning, I said that what happened to Novak Djokovic was an absolute act of discrimination on a biological basis, but now the whole thing turns out to be baseless, the vaccine hasn't been tested on preventing transmission. Novak Djokovic has been robbed," read the tweet.
