(1/6) It is extremely disappointing that two very popular and prominent commercial radio hosts have given Pete Evans 20 minutes of air time to air his anti-vaxxer stance.

(2/6) Mr Evans may consider himself ‘pro-choice for medical freedom’ but the fact that his assertions were by all accounts barely challenged by the radio hosts makes this interview particularly problematic.

(3/6) As I have said many times, vaccines are one of the great success stories of modern medicine. However, sadly the rise of the anti-vaxxer trend, which is particularly prominent on various social media platforms, has eroded public trust.

(4/6) I think that all television networks, radio stations and publications have a responsibility to self-regulate and not provide platforms to people spreading dangerous and misleading information that can harm public health.

(5/6) If they do interview such individuals they need to at least challenge conspiracy theories and ‘advice’ contrary to expert medical opinion.

(6/6) Instead of listening to Pete Evans on commercial radio, consult with your GP - we are there for you and have your best interest at heart. Now more than ever, expert advice matters
