The RACGP has called out radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O for giving celebrity chef Pete Evans 20 minutes of “unfettered” airtime on breakfast radio to promote his anti-vax views. 

The stoush broke out after Mr Evans encouraged listeners of the Kyle and Jackie O Show on KIIS 1065 to question the safety of vaccines.

He also queried whether GPs were the best people to give advice on vaccines and repeated stories about mothers who had seen changes in their children after being immunised. 

“Something happened when they got a shot one day,” he told the hosts.
