WATCH: Avi Yemini turns the tables on a REAL misinformation spreader
A passer-by who labelled me a âF-witâ got more than he bargained for when I decided to initiate a civil discussion with him.
I had been filming material in the Sydney CBD when the man, on his way to work, walked past and yelled out âMr Yemini. F-Wit!â.
Instead of being offended, I chased after the man and politely asked what he had said.
âDonât worry. I think you heard me,â he replied, before continuing âŠ
âI think youâre a f-wit. Thatâs my opinion. I personally donât agree with your politics, and I think youâre spreading dangerous, harmful misinformation for example about Covid vaccines.â
He said that he believed âCovid vaccines are perfectly safe and efficaciousâ at stopping the spread of Covid.
When I pointed out that even NSW Premier Domonic Perrottet had said vaccines did not stop the spread of Covid he replied: âWell I disagree with Perrottet on a lot of things. But Iâm also not a medical scientist.â
When I further pointed out that Pfizerâs own scientists now say there is no evidence that vaccines stop transmission, he insisted that they were wrong.
âLiterally no-one says that (vaccines stop the spread) except for you,â I told him.
âOut of the two of us youâre the one spreading misinformation yet you feel like itâs okay to scream out âf-witâ to me!â
But the best part was when I asked him how many vaccine shots he had received.
He said he had received three doses but had delayed getting his fourth because âitâs just a low priority at the momentâ.
âI do accept ⊠nowadays Covid is closer to a flu than it was previously,â he said.
So this man was calling me a f-wit and accusing me of spreading misinformation when he was the one contradicting politicians and scientists whilst, at the same time, admitting the virus was not so bad that he would even bother about getting another booster shot.
When I asked him if he thought that was unreasonable, he replied âI donât thinkâ before walking away.
Well he was right about one thing.
