Magnus said he's boycotting the Australian Open Final - is he anti-vax/mandates/something?

In this video Magnus says he's boycotting the Australian Open Final, has he clarified why?

Has he commented on COVID/vaccines/mandates independent of this comment? I'm curious what his views are on all those COVID-related topics.

I'm aware of the situation, but we don't know whether Magnus is boycotting because he's anti-vax, anti-mandates, anti-severe Australia-type measures or simply boycotting because a final without the best player in the world doesn't hold interest to him and that's what I'm curious about.
