Leonardo Schwebel, a presenter for the Telediaro Guadalajara, ranted at those who have refused to be jabbed and told them to at least wear a face mask properly
In an emotional outburst, Schwebel said: ‘You damned anti-vaxxers, gaggle of morons.’
Schwebel, who was waving his face mask angrily during his tirade, screamed: ‘Stop with your bulls*** and at least put on a goddamned face mask and stop hitting the brakes for the entire world!
‘Yes you anti-vaxxers, you are a moron! Put on a face mask!’
Schwebel went on his rant at a time when Mexico is seeing a rise in positive Covid-19 cases since the new year, registering more than 260,000 infections in the past week, a new record high.
And only 58 per cent of the population have been double jabbed while 63 per cent have received one dose of the vaccine.

Schwebel told Telediaro in an interview after his outburst: ‘Sometimes you have to shout for people to get on.
‘If I had said it normally — “sir, please, please, put on the mask, I ask you please, believe me,” I would not be here with you today.’
Schwebel said that his message was important at a time when Mexicans are experiencing soaring Covid cases.
His rant comes as Mexico’s triple-vaccinated President Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced that he has beaten COVID for a second time – and that the symptoms of Omicron were mild.
Speaking at a news conference Monday morning – a week after he began experiencing symptoms and testing positive – the 68 year-old leader said his speedy recovery was testament to the dwindling strength of the virus – and the importance of vaccines.
‘It is demonstrable that this variant does not have the same seriousness as the earlier, the Delta,’ López Obrador said. ‘In symptoms and also in recuperation time.’
Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador announced on Monday, January 17, 2022, that he has recovered from COVID-19 a second time, as coronavirus infections spike in Mexico and virus tests become scarce
López Obrador was infected the first time in January of last year.
He tends to often not wear a protective mask during his daily news conferences in front of staff and reporters.
But he is strongly pro-vaccine, and has shared snaps of himself receiving all three of his AstraZeneca COVID shots, including his booster just last month.
He had sounded hoarse at his news conference last Monday, dismissed it as a cold, but said he would be tested. Later in the day he confirmed he was infected.
The 68-year-old president had received three doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, with his first jab taking place in April of last year before receiving his second shot in June.
He publicly received the booster shot during his daily press conference on December 7 of last year.

Last Thursday, the Mexican President also claimed in a video that he is living proof that the COVID-19 strain is not as lethal as the Delta variant, while isolating after testing positive earlier during the week.
‘I am getting over COVID. And I also want to share this information with you because I consider that it is quite encouraging to be able to verify in my own flesh now that this variant of COVID does not have the lethality, the danger, of the previous variant, of the so-called Delta,’ López Obrador said from his presidential office at the National Palace in Mexico City.
The president tested positive last Monday, hours after he appeared before the media at the National Palace and downplayed the severity of the Omicron variant he tested positive for, indicating it was only ‘a little COVID.’
In Mexico, the AstraZeneca vaccine is being used for all boosters shots, regardless of which vaccine the person originally received.
