On a broader point

the vast majority of ICU patients are unvaxxed, causing huge stress to the NHS and delaying treatments for other people through no fault of their own.

And the vociferous anti-vaxxers, like Djokovic, have persuaded a number of other people to not get the jab - sometimes resulting in their death. Serbia, for example, has a low vax rate and huge death rate - how many people did Djoko's vocal stance kill there?

So I think you can understand the opprobrium.
