Novak Djokovic Is Refused Entry Into Australia Over Vaccine Exemption

The New York Times:

following a 12-hour standoff with government officials at a
Melbourne Airport, where he was held in a room overnight over the
validity of his visa and questions about the evidence supporting a
medical exemption from a coronavirus vaccine. The exemption was
supposed to allow Djokovic, a 20-time Grand Slam champion and one
of the biggest stars in sports, to compete in the Australian Open
even though he has not been vaccinated.

The chain of events represented a startling turnabout for
Djokovic, who in a little more than 24 hours went from receiving
special, last-minute permission to enter Australia, to boarding an
intercontinental flight, to essentially being told by the prime
minister of Australia that he was not welcome in the country.
