‘It doesn’t add up!’ Celebrity chef Pete Evans claims the public is being LIED TO about coronavirus as he spreads dangerous fake news on social media
Pete Evans is convinced governments are not telling the truth about the total number of coronavirus cases around the world.
On Wednesday, the 47-year-old former MKR judge and conspiracy theorist shared a post to Facebook that questioned the confirmed infection rate.
‘Anyone knows what this means?’ he captioned a meme which suggested that the official reporting of coronavirus cases was incorrect.

Pete made sure not to state that he agreed with the post, insisting he’s ‘just a chef’.
However, he did use the hashtag ‘it doesn’t add up’, which seems to suggest he does not agree with the official figures.
It’s unclear if Pete is suggesting the number of cases is higher or lower than what health organisations are stating.
‘Anyone knows what this means?’ On Wednesday, the 47-year-old anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist shared a post to Facebook that questioned the confirmed infection rate
It comes after the anti-vaxxer made headlines for suggesting he was immune to COVID-19, which so far has infected 7.4 million people and killed more than 404,000 worldwide.
Pete made the bizarre claim during his interview with Liz Hayes on 60 Minutes – but his statements were edited out of the version that went to air on Sunday night.
In the full interview, uploaded to his YouTube account this week, Pete said: ‘We know there’s a flu that goes around, whatever strain or mutation or whatever that is, who knows? I’ve never had a flu vaccine because I’m not concerned about catching a flu.’
Sitting on the fence? Pete made sure not to state that he agreed with the post, insisting he’s ‘just a chef’. However, he did use the hashtag ‘it doesn’t add up’, which seems to suggest he does not agree with the official figures
He added: ‘And am I fearful of COVID-19, if I came into contact with anybody [who has it]? No I’m not, because I believe in who I am and my ability to stay as healthy as I can through anything.’
During his interview, Pete also revealed he was skeptical of whether the spread of coronavirus actually constituted a pandemic.
‘There seems to be more and more information that comes out that is conflicting,’ he said, attempting to justify his conspiracy theory.
Coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11.
While 102 people have died in Australia from coronavirus, more than 6,740 of the 7,276 diagnosed cases have recovered.
Nothing to worry about? It comes after Pete made headlines for suggesting he was immune to COVID-19, which so far has infected 7.4 million people and killed more than 404,000 globally
