Based on all the information that I got I decided not to take the vaccine. […]

I understand the consequences of my decision. One of the consequences of my decision was not going to Australia, I was prepared not to go. I understand not being vaccinated today, I am unable to travel to most tournaments. That is the price I am willing to pay. […]
