Jack Darling has been added to the list of anti-vaxxers at the expense of his career. Since he did not adhere to the vaccine mandate of the football club, he will be unable to train with the rest of the team. He will, however, still be training independently until he changes his mind.
Just a week before the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic lost his case involving his VISA. Novak was not vaccinated and was previously exempted from the vaccine. In favor of the public, Novak Djokovic’s visa was canceled and as a result, was deported from Australia. The president of Serbia welcomed him back home and added that he should stay where he is welcome. He was therefore unable to participate in the Australian Open.
Jack Darling disobeyed mask mandate
Up until Friday, all team members of the club needed to get their first vaccine and obtain their second vaccine by February. Jack Darling has unfortunately not abided by this rule and has since been banned to train with the team.
According to Mark Mcgowan, to refuse the vaccine and have his career suffer for it is not a wise decision. He hopes that Jack Darling will reconsider his choice to refuse the vaccine as he has had an outstanding career thus far.
Football or not?
Darling is the first Western Australian to refuse the vaccine.
Now, the AFL football club mandate required all of the players to get their first vaccine by today. The second vaccine should be administered by the 18th of February. However, the government requires everyone to have the second dose by January 31st. This is to enable everyone to get back to gyms.
According to abc.net.au, Darling joins Liam Jones and Deni Varnhagen as players who have refused the vaccine. Neither Jack nor the club will be commenting on the matter further.
