Pete Evans urges Sydney “sheeple” not to get tested amid new cluster
Pete Evans is back at it again, this time making his opinion about the current COVID outbreak in Sydney’s Northern Beaches very clear.
He has urged people to not get tested at all, despite health officials scrambling to control the spread.
Taking to Facebook, the disgraced celebrity chef and outspoken anti-vaxxer shared a photo of an article that read: “Sydney COVID outbreak grows with two new cases overnight.”
In his caption, Evans wrote, “OUTBREAK … 2 cases,” along with the clown-face emojis.
He added: “Can you see where this is heading again. Testing for the common cold? Do not get tested.”
He followed up with multiple conspiracy-style posts about “sheeple” and it came right before cases exploded to a cluster of 17.
In the comments, Evan’s loyal fan base agreed with his views.
“So this is the scare tactic to try convince people to get the vaccine when it hits Australia,” one sceptic wrote.
“How sad to see all these fearful sheep being played like puppets,” said another.
In November, Evans announced he would be quitting Facebook and moving to US social media site Parler to free himself from “being censored”.
But despite the claim, he has posted over ten times daily on Facebook throughout the month of December.
NSW health authorities have identified 12 new COVID cases in Sydney’s Northern Beaches cluster, taking the toll to 17.
Residents have been urged to stay home for the next three days.
