Facebook removes Pete Evan’s page after continuously posting misinformation
Facebook gets it right for once. The man is a terrible combination: Great self confidence combined with an empty head. He has survived in the public eye so long mainly because women like his looks
Facebook has removed the disgraced chef’s profile from its platform, after claiming he was spreading “misinformation” that could lead to “imminent physical harm”.
In a statement, a Facebook spokesperson said: “We don’t allow anyone to share misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines that have been debunked by public health experts. We have clear policies against this type of content and we’ve removed Chef Pete Evans’ Facebook Page for repeated violations of these policies.”
One Twitter post revealing the news had a large amount of people commenting their gratitude that the chef had lost his voice on the platform.
While the celebrity chef posts numerous conspiracy-style posts daily, he said last week that Sydney-siders should not get tested for COVID after the Northern Beaches outbreak.
Posting to Facebook, the outspoken anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist shared a photo of an article that read: “Sydney COVID outbreak grows with two new cases overnight.”
In the caption, Evans wrote, “OUTBREAK … 2 cases,” along with clown-face emojis.
He added: “Can you see where this is heading again. Testing for the common cold? Do not get tested.”
One of Evans’ biggest controversies came when he posted a cartoon appearing to feature a neo-Nazi symbol recently. Following the post, Evans was dumped by his publisher Pan Macmillan Australia.
Shortly after, Big W, Kmart, Coles, Booktopia and Target also cut ties with him, while Dymocks pulled his books off the shelves. He was also dropped as a contestant on I’m A Celebrity Australia.
Evans’ company was fined more than $25,000 by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in April after he promoted a device called a ‘BioCharger’ on Facebook, claiming it could be used in relation to the coronavirus. The TGA said the claim had “no apparent foundation”.
The former My Kitchen Rules judge denied that he used the nazi symbol intentionally.
Evans’ Instagram page is still active. Instagram is owned by Facebook.
Canucks fire anthem singer Mark Donnelly for performing at anti-mask rally
The Vancouver Canucks fired their longtime national anthem singer Mark Donnelly after learning he would be singing at a rally organized by coronavirus deniers and anti-mask advocates.
Shortly after the Vancouver Sun reported that Donnelly had agreed to perform at an event called the Christmas Freedom Rally in Vancouver on Saturday, where hundreds planned to gather and protest COVID-19 restrictions, Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini tweeted at the newspaper to request they change their headline to “former Canucks anthem singer.” Aquilini also wrote “#wearamask.”
A Canucks spokesperson confirmed the dismissal to CBC, writing, “You are safe to say his days are over.”
According to the Canadian Press, Donnelly told the crowd that he still decided to sing Saturday because he questions the “draconian lockdown protocols.” He described his firing from the institution he’s been publicly associated with since 2001 as “censorship.”
