An whit his parents doing that presser earlier where his mom's all he's in a prison! and his dad's all Serbia stands with you, it's not just one man it's for the seven billion people, we call for a riot like everyone else who's in not the best hotel isn't also there for similar reasons? Like Novax is some sort of special messiah type? This isn't sensitive soft politics begging for a life and freedom because your son who was doing the Lord's work got caught in North Korea, ok?
Jesus. Look who he's surrounded by. No context for normal whatsoever.
and Mary Carillo:"The people of Flint, Michigan would love to hear that news," Mary Carillo said after hearing the Serbian's claim that "molecules in the water react to our emotions to what has been said."

Be strong, sad clown, own your truth!
Just my opinion on this:
1. It is very embarrassing for someone like his father or family to try to make this being national security thing, Serbians against the world or similar ****. It is Novak/Australian government/ATP embarrassment.
2. His family has strange beliefs, like Kyrie, but let's not burn them for their beliefs. I mean, you can find all sorts of strange theories everywhere. I read in one book that in the past there were giants on earth, people who lived 900 years, a virgin mother born a child, he walked on the water, make wine of water, healed sick with his touch, died, resurrect...
Agree on your first point.
As to the second, I really don't know what his family believes. It's really more Djokovic and his blatantly anti-scientific stance. I wouldn't equate that with Christianity, though, as there's an entire field of apologetics dedicated to it, one of many that is outside the realm of science.
But whether believer or not, Djokovic's weirdo interests are indefensible in terms of what he's espousing. And in terms of belief, the base standard you can say is 'do no harm' and hopefully there is some good that comes out of following a path.
Djokovic has a big following and influence and what he's espousing with respect to his novax stance (and his wife with the weirdo 5G/Covid conspiracy) and that whole turning dirty water clean with emotions or whatever (which, however it may quasi resemble miracles of a certain someone you mentioned, the core of what the source is and goes from and to is wholly different - Djokovic is playing an uncomfortable association with his 'natural' 'good intentions' approach) is indefensible. That and the $50 per tiny bottle tincture he swears by just has a whiff of someone who is surrounded by yes men who appeal to his thinking he has some kind of power that he only dare allude to. It's ridiculous, and now reality is hitting him in the face. IF he gets his visa approved, the reality will hit all the harder with fan reaction. This will be a huge blow to his reputation and ego.
Wait, will fans be allowed? I hope so...
