A group of masked protesters gathered outside a London hospital, singing ‘Covid and his hoax’ as the New Year came.
The large group of Covid deniers went against Dr Matthew Lee on his return home after completing a late A&E transfer at St Thomas’ Hospital.
Shocked by what he saw, the young medic posted a video of the scene to his Twitter account and called for people to see sense.
He said: “I worked out the A&E move late on New Year’s Eve and it came out so far.
“Hundreds of people get drunk, in large groups shouting ‘Covid is a lump’, literally outside the building where hundreds are sick and dying.
“Why don’t people still understand how serious this pandemic is?”
Dr Lee went on to say that although he was ‘disappointed’ with what he saw, he was ‘substantially broken’.
He said: “I want people to see the extent of Covid-19 and hospital deaths, and the sacrifices that healthcare workers make.
“This week alone has been so sad. Their ignorance hurts others.
“I really wish people would keep themselves safe.”
Since seeing the films, others have shared their sadness and anger at the actions of a small group in society.
