Over his new spat of remarks about COVID-19, a Melbourne doctor has hit out at celebrity chef and coronavirus conspiracy theorist Pete Evans.
In an explosive tweet yesterday, Dr Vyom Sharma, a GP and medical commentator, said Evans was a ‘f**king idiot.’
It came after the former star of My Kitchen Rules argued that the virus did not exist.
Pete Evans says you aren’t contagious and you can’t spread #covid19 to kill vulnerable people. This is your ‘health’ partner @macmillanaus. 1 million+ dead.

“Is that what we’ve come here to do. Do we have the belief in ourselves that we’re contagious, that we are spreaders of something?” Pete Evans was filmed saying during a video interview.
“I choose not to believe in that narrative because it doesn’t make any sense to me.”
But after Evans’ latest remarks, Dr Sharma thought enough was enough.
“‘I choose not to believe that narrative because it doesn’t make any sense to me’ – that is the literal Merriam Webster dictionary definition of ‘f***ing idiot’,” Dr Sharma posted with a link back to the original video.
“Einstein’s theory of special relativity makes no sense to me.
“But I believe the narrative because I know there are people out there who are smarter than me, and know more things. And hence I rely on my GPS when driving.”
