(CNN)Australia's government has condemned the "disgusting" behavior of spectators at the Australian Open tennis tournament Sunday, after sections of the crowd loudly booed a speech praising the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine.
The negative reaction occurred during an awards ceremony following Novak Djokovic's victory over Daniil Medvedev in the men's singles final, which saw the Serb claim his ninth Australian Open and 18th grand slam title.
Audible boos could be heard throughout the Melbourne crowd of approximately 7,400 during a speech by Tennis Australia chief Jayne Hrdlicka, in which she suggested now was a time for "optimism and hope" with vaccinations "rolling out in many countries the world."
Hrdlicka continued to speak, only to be interrupted with more jeers after she thanked the state government. "You are a very opinionated group of people," Hrdlicka said in response to the crowd reaction.

What an embarrassing crowd of Karens and Darrens.
It kind of reinforces the fact that some antivaxxers aren't below the poverty line, they are middle to upper classes that have a choice to insulate their stupidity.
Those guys: boo vaccines!
Everyone else: ok then I hope you're okay with rolling lockdowns cause you don't have anything approaching herd immunity
Those guys, a couple of months later: why on earth does Dan Andrews keep locking us down?

Spin this 1 for me then. Per the usual..
Spin? If you’d like to have a proper conversation as an adult, maybe learn to discuss without being condescending. That’s just being a mature adult. You know instead of calling me a minah, bitch and God knows what. Having a proper Adab is actually important.
Nah you explain to me first. Once I know your understanding, I’ll let you know mine.
Fun fact: I’m not here just for the sake of arguing. If you’re actually right, I’ll have no problem admitting it. I don’t have that big of an ego.

Awwww.. U used the Adab card.
Why not? Adab is something that’s not important to you? And might I also remind you, the Nasty words you spew will be accounted for on the day of judgment. Unless of course you’re not Muslim and you don’t care about that. I don’t know about you, but i try to be cordial even when I disagree with others.
