The celebrity chef turned conspiracy theorist Pete Evans has again been fined for promoting an array of devices and drugs as miracle cures for ailments including the coronavirus.

The former Seven Network star was on Tuesday hit with $79,920 in fines for breaching advertising requirements.

It's probably published by a syndicated teenage cadet reporter based in the Philippines or Vietnam.

I feel some people just love the dollar$ too much, and they'll do anything and say anything to get some!

What I don't get is why their followers seem to completely lack cynicism and scepticism. They accept all the COVID anti-vaxx fakery, but believe 1 Part per Billion of a weed molecule in a shaken bottle of magnetically charged free-radical mountain water sipped while sitting under a earth energy charged polypropylene wind-catcher can cure a cancer!

Peak medical groups have criticised the Australian celebrity chef Pete Evans for suggesting that a $15,000 “subtle energy platform” could be used to treat coronavirus, saying such claims are baseless, ill-informed and dangerous.

Evans, a television host and paleo diet enthusiast who has previously promoted anti-vaccination ideas, was selling the BioCharger NG Subtle Energy Platform – dismissed by the Australian Medical Association as a “fancy light machine” – for $14,990 on his website.

Evans’ ad said the machine was a “subtle energy revitalisation platform”.

“Four transmitted energies stimulate and invigorate the entire body to optimise and improve potential health, wellness, and athletic performance,” the ad says.

Nothing more need be said.  Runs a close second to Peter Brock's harmonic balancer

I am not sure if I have missed something, but hopefully someone can clear these up for me:

1) I thought with previous restrictions we didn't have to scan in if we were there for less than 15 minutes.  It seems we have to scan in regardless now.  What has changed for this to be different?

2) I would assume that if I (someone) got vaccinated - first jab - now, the vaccine wouldn't be effective until after the second jab has kicked in, a bit after 12 weeks from now.  If that's the case, why the sudden surge in vaccinations.

Thanks

Actually, harmonic balancers or harmonic dampers are very real pulleys mounted on engines to reduce vibrations from belts or chains.

I think you are referring to the Brock Energy Polarizer, which was a techno brick you could use to smash a window when stealing cigarettes!

Officially from https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/checking-qr-codes
Current Chief Health Office directions require that anyone attending one of the above-mentioned venues or facilities for a period of 15 minutes or more must check in.

This applies to everyone, whether you are an employee, customer or other visitor attending the venue on work duties. 

For example, if you’re getting a takeaway coffee and will be at a café for less than 15 minutes, it is recommended that you check-in, but not a requirement. If you’re having a coffee at the venue and may be longer than 15 minutes, you need to check in.

2) I would assume that if I (someone) got vaccinated - first jab - now, the vaccine wouldn't be effective until after the second jab has kicked in, a bit after 12 weeks from now.  If that's the case, why the sudden surge in vaccinations.

The 1st vaccination achieves partial efficacy(~70%) after about 10 to 14 days but this diminishes after about 3 months, so you see where the 12 week delay comes from, the 2nd vaccine will boost that efficacy to close to 95% and is expected to last at least 12 months. It's all about the formation of antibodies and COVID aware T-Cells.
