Pete Evans Hijacks Shane Warne's Death To Push Anti-Vax Message

Trolls are hijacking the death of Australian cricket legend Shane Warne to spread wild conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 vaccine.

Controversial chef Pete Evans has suggested the death of cricket legend Shane Warne's death was linked to the Covid vaccine, with anti-vax trolls jumping on board to spread wild conspiracy theories.

Footage of the former My Kitchen Rules host was posted online, showing him speaking about the 52-year-old circket great's shock death of a suspected heart attack during a public Zoom call.

“Shane Warne was an amazing cricket player for sure … (it’s) sad,” Evans said, allegedly during the public call.

“Who knows what the reasons behind this are and I can’t comment on it."

Despite stating he can't comment on the death of the cricket legend, Evans jumped at the chance to push his wild views on health and the Covid vaccine.

"However, so many doctors I've interviewed have been screaming for the last year-and-a-half, saying the vaccines are going to cause death like we've never seen across the planet," Evans said.

"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 field and there's a reason behind that."

Following the controversial chef's comments, anti-vaxxers have seized the opportunity to push wild theories linking the Covid-19 vaccine to the sport star's death, and referenced fellow Australian cricket great Rod Marsh, who suffered a heart attack and died on Friday.

“Both dead within one day of each other Shane’s last tweet was about Rod Marsh’s death. Vaccine injury or coincidence?” one person tweeted.

“You really have to wonder if the vaccines killed Rod Marsh and Shane Warne, and if you dismiss it more fool you,” wrote another.

“He was killed by the vax. You are a moron, an evil moron at that if you ‘don’t see it’,” another anti-vax commenter said.

Warne played his first test match in 1992 and throughout his career made more than 300 appearances for Australia across all formats.


He captained the Australian national team in One Day Internationals and played domestic cricket for his home state of Victoria, as well as English domestic cricket for Hampshire, where he led the team as captain for 3 seasons from 2005 to 2007.

Warne earned a reputation as one of the greatest bowlers in cricket history, having taken 708 Test match wickets and 293 One-Day International wickets. In 1999, Warne helped Australia win the Cricket World Cup.
