“Coronavirus mind games. SUNDAY on #60Mins, how fear of the global pandemic gave voice to unproven ideas on social media. Are dangerous conspiracy theories just as contagious as the virus?” read the caption on the teaser trailer.

Since it was publicly shared last night, many people have questioned the program for interviewing Evans in the first place. They’ve labelled the interview “dangerous” and “irresponsible” and have asked for it to be scrapped before it goes to air on Sunday.

People will literally die because of this grifter’s nonsense. Are you sure you want to be a channel for that?

Hello Channel 9. This is why we don’t watch your shows, your news, or your click bait. Stop giving airtime to fanatics.

This is so freaking irresponsible, how in good conscience could you put this grifter on your program, to talk about medical/scientific fields that’s he’s not qualified to talk about. DO BETTER DAMMIT!

However, Evans’ followers are more concerned about the 47-year-old potentially getting ‘murdered’.

“I am sceptical, and I also am suspicious. If I disappear, or having a fricking weird accident, it wasn’t an accident,” he says during the trailer.

As Evans is considered a ‘truth teller’ among his 230,000 loyal fans, plenty are now worried about his safety.

On the Instagram post he uploaded discussing the upcoming interview, one follower commented, “Let’s see if [the] media fabricates your truth. Stay safe”.

While another wrote, “They’ll edit the interview with you to suit their own brainwashing corrupt narrative. We’ve got your back”.

Oh and there’s… more.

Evans has recorded the entire unedited60 Minutesinterview himself, and will be releasing it on his social media at the same time as the program airs.
