Bill Gates, a co-founder of Microsoft, has taken a sly dig at World No. 1
Novak Djokovic for his COVID-19 vaccination stance while also admitting admiration.
While admiring the Serb for his on-court accomplishments, Gates said that vaccination doesn't entirely eliminate the possibility of getting infected. However, the billionaire added that doing so reduces the risk of infection, noting:
"Being vaccinated helps the community that you're in. They're not perfect at blocking infection, but they do reduce infection, and so it is unfortunate that someone's health concerns are so extreme that they cannot participate in that community protection."
He further added:
"If they're an inspirational and trusted person, you know, then, they're spreading that, it just makes it tougher to get the vaccination levels that we really need. So, I admire him in a lot of ways, but I wish his views on vaccine weren't that way."
