Former My Kitchen Rules Star Pete Evans appears to be leveraging the death of Australian hero Shane Warne to push his anti-vax views – talk about tasteless.
During a public zoom call, and yes that’s what Evan uses these days to reach his followers, he has been banned from Instagram and Spotify remember?
Evans said: “Shane Warne was an amazing cricket player for sure … sad.
“Who knows what the reasons behind this are and I can’t comment on it.
“And they’re all predicting we’re not going to see the outcomes of this — or the real side effects — for the next three to five years. We’re witnessing it happening with athletes on the field and there’s a reason behind that.”

So basically, his ‘not’ comment was a comment.
Naturally, anti-vaxxers have taken Evan’s words and run with it and are now flooding social media with their theories
My man! So many people I know have had heart issues from vaccine! I am not anti vaxxer . I am seeing it first hand

Meanwhile, the rest of Twitter is pretty pissed off about it!

I think all of Australia felt a deep sense of sadness with the news that Warne had passed away on the weekend. He was a cultural figure, an incredible athlete and just really bloody likeable! He even got Leigh Sales tick of approval!

So, I think it would be fair to say Australia is now in mourning and it’s really not the time for Evans to be weighing in any capacity.
Here at B&T, our thoughts are with Warne’s family and we think the Paleo diet sucks.
