CHEF COMES OUT AS ANTI-VAXXER
ANTI-FLUORIDE, antisunscreen, anti-dairy celebrity chef Pete Evans has now revealed his antivaccination stripes in a post supporting well known vax denier Paul Chek who has not vaccinated his own children and supports the widely panned conspiracy movement Vaxxed.
Chek, a “holistic health practitioner”, exercise coach and “registered Native American Spirit Guide and Medicine Man” has claimed “your health is being stolen” due to vaccinations. He endorses the view immunisation causes autism, a link that has been disproved in more than 100 large studies.
Evans, the My Kitchen Rules star, posted his endorsement of a recent Chek podcast to his 1.5 million Facebook followers and 207,000 Instagram followers.
“One of the most important podcasts to listen to. Thanks @paul.chek for asking the questions that need to be asked about vaccines and medicine,” he posted.
Evans has been coy about his vaccination stance but has hosted the likes of David Avocado Wolfe at his home on the far-north coast. Wolfe, a flat-earther, is also an antivaccine activist.
Followers congratulated Evans for “coming out” including Miranda Kerr’s mother Therese who has questioned vaccines.
Australian Medical Association president Tony Bartone said vaccination had saved millions of lives and Evans should stick to cooking.
