It's been six years since Shane Warne’s son Jackson got his first exposure as a celebrity in his own right, on Channel Seven's reality show SAS Australia. Although most Australians really got to know him when he had to mourn his father’s tragic early death in front of the whole country.
This week, Jackson was a guest on a fairly extreme podcast called 2 Worlds Collide, where he made the claim that he always knew the COVID vaccine was responsible for Warnie’s untimely death during a trip to Thailand.
The claim could have languished in a niche online bubble, if it weren’t for the fact that James Willis, who was filling-in as the host of The Ben Fordham Show on 2GB aired a segment on the “bombshell” revelation – playing grabs from Jackson claiming there are "hundreds of thousands and millions of people around the world” who were also victims of the vaccine.
“He believes his family are not the only ones impacted by this, and said in this podcast, he can no longer stay silent,” concluded Willis at the end of the segment.
Soon, the story was runing on Sky News Australia, Seven News and in The Herald-Sun. All of them featured prominent plugs to 2 Worlds Collide (At least Nine’s The Today Show, did not mention the podcast by name).
The podcast is hosted by far-right influencer Sam Bamford, who often spreads conspiracy theories aligned with the white supremacist movement.
