Radio host Kyle Sandilands has slapped down a producer who seemed to suggest unvaccinated people were somehow immune the new Omicron variant of Covid-19.
Senior producer Pedro Vitola, who is an anti-vaxxer, made an ignorant remark on Monday about feeling safe from Omicron since 'only vaccinated people have got it'.
The suggestion that vaccinated Australians were somehow to blame for the spread of Omicron angered Sandilands, who silenced Mr Vitola with a single argument.

He pointed out that Omicron had only been detected in vaccinated Aussies arriving from overseas because unvaccinated people are unable to travel.
Sandilands also warned Vitola that now the mutation is in Australia, he and other unvaccinated people are at a significantly higher risk of contracting, spreading and becoming seriously ill with the unpredictable variant.
'Pedro, are you worried about being murdered by the new Covid variant? Because you're the only unvaccinated one here,' he said at about 6:10am.
