Dr Hilary Jones has been left mightily unimpressed with some members of the public during the pandemic, admitting that he wishes he was able to "vaccinate against stupidity".
The ITV doctor went on to speak about an odd moment he'd experienced outside a shop.
Appearing on Lorraine today, they spoke about a "small minority" of the population ruining the virus prevention strategies by denying that Covid-19 existed.
"We do have a very small but very loud and shouty minority who are denying everything," Lorraine Kelly said.
Dr Hilary quipped: "I just wish that we could vaccinate against stupidity.
"I was at a shop yesterday, shop's doing everything right - one person in at a time. That person came out and the person outside said, 'Oh, I forgot my mask' and the other person said 'Here, borrow mine.'"
Lorraine gasped and cringed as Dr Hilary continued: "And that sort of stupidity has got to be eradicated.
"We need to understand how the virus spreads."
This comes after Dr HIlary yesterday slammed an "alternative" to the Covid-19 vaccination that had been making the rounds on the internet.
Piers and Dr Hilary both voiced their disgust over hundreds turning up for an anti-lockdown protest outside St Thomas’ Hospital on New Year’s Eve.
A junior doctor had shared a photo of of the crowd, who claimed that they were shouting that "Covid is a hoax".
Piers said that the footage made him want to "puke", while Dr Hilary said that the protest had left doctors feeling "worried, exasperated and disgusted".
"They're whipping up this hysteria against people who are trying to save lives," Piers seethed.
Meanwhile, Dr Hilary raged: "They're totally ignorant - and to give you some idea of their ignorance, there's tweets going around the last few days saying, 'Instead of a vaccine, why don't we get a weakened form of the virus that we can put in our bodies to stimulate antibodies to fight it.' That is a vaccine!
"So we can thank the anti-vaxers for coming up with the idea of the concept of a vaccine 100 years later!"
