Novak Djokovic Reignites Vaccine Controversy With US Open Victory

Sep 27 2023

Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic recently won the 2023 U.S. Open championships. NBA star Kyrie Irving posted a photo of Djokovic’s victory on Instagram with the caption: “Unvaccinated Novak Djokovic won the US Open! He won and we will too!” This has reignited the public debate on whether to receive the updated vaccine.

On Sept. 10, in the final match of the U.S. Open, the 36-year-old tennis player secured his 24th Grand Slam title, establishing himself as the male tennis player with the most Grand Slam titles. NBA star Kyrie Irving congratulated him on Instagram while taking a jab at the previous COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Previously, Djokovic had been barred from entering the United States in 2022 due to his refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, which prevented him from participating in the 2022 tournament.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, governments worldwide have implemented various measures to administer COVID-19 vaccines, with ongoing development of booster shots. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 situation persists globally. Many people appear hesitant about receiving the updated vaccines, presumably due to distrust in government and health authorities, concerns regarding vaccine safety, and doubts about the efficacy of preventing infections from virus variants.

Vaccines designed to combat the omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) earlier in September. However, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, Florida’s Surgeon General, advised against receiving the updated booster vaccine.

During a press conference on Sept. 7, Dr. Ladapo stated: “There’s a new vaccine that’s coming around the corner, a new mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, and there’s essentially no evidence for it. There’s been no clinical trial showing that it is a safe product for people—and not only that, but then there are a lot of red flags.”

However, Dr. Mandy Cohen, the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said on Sept. 12, “CDC is now recommending updated COVID-19 vaccination for everyone 6 months and older to better protect you and your loved ones.”

The UK’s Department of Health vaccination guidelines differ from those of the United States. The recommended recipients include individuals aged 65 and older, residents in care homes, and younger individuals with higher-risk medical conditions.

The Efficacy of Vaccines and Natural Immunity Protection

Sean Lin, an American virology expert and former director of the Virus Department at the U.S. Army Research Institute, mentioned on the “Health 1+1″ program that the virus keeps evolving, and the vaccine’s effectiveness struggles to keep up with these changes. For individuals who have previously contracted the COVID-19 virus, their natural immunity already surpasses the efficacy of vaccination.

Mr. Lin also cited a study on influenza vaccines, suggesting that repeated vaccination may reduce vaccine effectiveness. When comparing individuals who received the vaccine for two consecutive years with those who received it only in 2023, the vaccine effectiveness against H3N2 and influenza B decreased by 20 and 11 percent, respectively.

Moreover, vaccination carries risks of various diseases. A study published in JAMA Cardiology in 2021 revealed that 23 male U.S. Military Health System patients developed myocarditis after receiving COVID-19 vaccines between January and April 2021. Among them, seven received the Pfizer vaccine, and 16 received the Moderna vaccine. Notably, these individuals were in good health with relatively high levels of physical fitness prior to vaccination.

Other diseases resulting from vaccination include severe hair loss, purple discoloration of the legs, allergies, and rare conditions like Guillain-Barré syndrome or even death.

Positive Thinking for Virus Prevention

According to Mr. Lin, viruses not only have their physical characteristics, such as proteins and genetic material, but they also possess energy, with different types of viruses having varying energy levels. He believes the body’s energy state can influence its immunity to viruses.

Mr. Lin cited a study published in the Virology Journal indicating that electromagnetic waves can disrupt the morphology of viruses, particularly ultra-high-frequency (UHF) and extremely high-frequency (EHF) electromagnetic waves. For instance, when a suspension of the common cold-causing coronavirus 229E sample was exposed to 95-gigahertz-millimeter waves with a power density ranging from 70 to 100 watts/cm², the virus’ membrane was ruptured within 0.1 seconds. Similarly, when SARS-CoV-2 virus particles were exposed to electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 10 to 17 gigahertz and a power density of 14.5 ± 1 m², it took approximately 15 minutes to inactivate the virus completely.

Previous research has already confirmed the presence of an electromagnetic field within the human body. Russian scholar Konstantin Korotkov observed the emission of electromagnetic waves from the human body using gas discharge visualization (GDV) technology. He found that the individual’s health condition can also affect the electromagnetic energy within the body. Mr. Korotkov explained on the “Health 1+1″ program that emotions can impact the body’s electromagnetic waves. When a person emits happiness, his or her energy field will be enhanced, while negative emotions such as anger, jealousy, and hatred can cause the energy field to shrink, become defective, or even disappear.

Mr. Lin believes that we must eliminate negative thoughts and cultivate positive energy to fundamentally enhance immunity and activate the body’s energy to combat viruses.
