(ANSA) - ROME, FEBRUARY 22 - Controversy in Australia over some spectators of the tennis Open final against the anti-Covid vaccine.
The BBC reports.
The 'buu' of a section of the public, just in the days Australia started its vaccination campaign, came during the awarding of tournament winner Novak Djokovic when a tennis federation official spoke of the global efforts in immunization as a signal of despair. Moreover, in the past, the same Serbian tennis champion had been criticized for downplaying the Covid-19 pandemic and engrossing the vaccine. For the Australian Deputy Prime Minister, Michael McCormack, the whistles were "disgusting". "This vaccine will bring our country back to a kind of pre-Covid normality," he said. During the weekend in some cities of Australia, including Sydney and Melbourne where the tournament was held, there were protests of small crowds of no-vax. (HANDLE).
