Under the global epidemic, the irrational behavior of some anti-vaccine activists in the West has attracted much attention. Recently, Mexican host Leonardo Schwebel roared at the anti-vaccine people as "idiots" in a live broadcast, asking them to "at least wear masks".
According to the British "Independent" reported on the 19th local time, Schweibel is a host of the media TeleDiario in Guadalajara, Mexico, on Monday, during a live broadcast, without warning, he suddenly broke out of emotion, and began to criticize those anti-vaccine people in front of the camera, "Yes, it is you damn anti-vaccine people, a group of idiots, put the mask on me!" ”
He angrily waved the mask in his hand and shouted, "Don't be blind, at least wear a mask, don't step on the brakes of the world." ”
Subsequently, he approached the camera, asked everyone to wear a mask to the camera, and personally demonstrated to the audience, from the initial roar to the end, you can clearly feel Schweibel's anger and helplessness...
Schweibel's "shouting" to anti-vaccine activists has aroused great concern on Twitter, and many Western netizens have praised his attitude, "It is too right! I'm also angry at those who are anti-vaccines! And those who are reluctant to get vaccinated often crowd out hospital beds";
"I dare say that many people, like me, would love to say this to those who oppose vaccines and mask wearing";
"It is highly recommended to translate this passage into various languages and spread it out!"
Later, Schweibel lamented in an interview with local media, "Sometimes you have to shout at others to really wear a mask." If I had just said normally, 'Hello sir, please put on your mask', believe me, if that were the case, I wouldn't be here today (for an interview).' In this interview, he once again urged everyone to wear a mask, "In the case of a surge in confirmed cases of new crown, it is really important to wear a mask." ”
A Mexican expert interviewed by Reuters once said that compared with the United States and Europe, Mexico has not had a large-scale anti-vaccine campaign in history, however, there are too many conspiracy theories about vaccines on social media today, which in turn affects the willingness of many young people to vaccinate, and some anti-vaccine people use social media or religious groups to spread rumors about vaccines. ”
Since the beginning of this year, the number of confirmed cases in Mexico has continued to rise, and in the past week, the number of confirmed cases nationwide has exceeded 260,000. 58 per cent of the country's population has been vaccinated with 2 doses, and 63 per cent of the population has completed only one dose of the vaccine.
On the 10th of this month, Mexican President López López said that he was once again infected with covid-19 and would self-isolate. Last January, López was diagnosed with COVID-19 for the first time. It has previously been reported that during the epidemic, more than 300,000 test-confirmed COVID-19 deaths in Mexico have been confirmed.
