A moderator gives a rant on TV and addresses those who refuse to vaccinate and wear masks.

He wanted to open a debate about the need for vaccination and the correct wearing of masks.

Guadalajara – The Mexican TV presenter Leonardo Schwebel from the channel “Telediario Guadalajara” makes an urgent and passionate appeal for vaccinations* against the corona virus to the population.

In the course of the show "El Pulso", Schwebel's outburst of anger grew ever stronger.

The presenter turns to those who refuse to vaccinate and masks directly into the camera with a raised index finger and shouts: “You damned opponents of vaccination, you bunch of idiots.

Stop with your shit and at least wear the face mask*!

And stop slamming on the brakes for the whole world!”.

He points to an FFP-2 mask and demonstrates in front of the camera how to wear it correctly.

"Yes, you opponents of vaccination, you are idiots!

Put on a face mask!” Schwebel calls out.

Mexico: TV presenter holds angry speech against vaccination and mask refusers on TV

The clip went viral and was also shown on TV in the USA*, including on the Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show.

In several interviews, Schwebel explained the impulsive appearance by saying that he wanted to open a debate about the correct use of masks and the importance of corona vaccinations *.

In the five million city of Guadalajara in northern Mexico, around two million people are not vaccinated or not sufficiently vaccinated.

The TV presenter also criticized the often lax handling of the corona mask, which is often not worn properly.

Mexico and the world need this debate because we cannot live in the pandemic* for more years, the TV presenter explained in an interview on Costa Rica TV.

Around 50.3 percent of the approximately 126 million inhabitants of Mexico are considered twice vaccinated. The so-called booster vaccination has so far only been given to people over the age of 60, health workers and teachers. In Mexico, little is tested for the corona virus. Nevertheless, over 40,000 new infections have been reported within 24 hours in the past few days. With around 300,000 registered Covid 19 deaths, Mexico has the fifth most in the world. However, there is said to be a high number of unreported deaths in connection with a corona infection in Mexico.

Mexico's President Andrés Manual López Obrador has repeatedly come under criticism.

The 68-year-old repeatedly downplayed the danger of the corona virus and did not wear a mask.

Obrador has already contracted Corona twice.

However, the Mexican head of state has already been vaccinated three times, which very likely prevented severe cases.
