'The people have awakened': Pete Evans shares bizarre Star Wars-themed video encouraging fans to 'follow the resistance' after he gets slammed for his irresponsible views on controversial 60 Minutes interview
Pete Evans has urged his fans to 'follow the resistance' in a new bizarre video shared to his Instagram account.
The Stars Wars-themed clip appeared to be from Jo Yi, a psychiatrist from America who calls himself the 'street MD'.
He promotes 'wellness from a street perspective' and shares his alternative views through comedy skits on TikTok and Instagram.

The video shared by Pete features Jo, along with a number of other figures in the alternative health space, including holistic psychiatrist and author Kelly Brogan.
In the video, Kelly sends Jo a strange text message that says: 'The PeopleZ have AWAKENED!!!'
As Star Wars music plays, Jo then removes his medical face mask and hits a tennis ball labelled 'OPPRESSION'.

'Follow the resistance' later flashes up on the screen.
Prominent anti-vaxxers, including Dr Rashid Buttar and David Wolfe, are also featured in the video, along with Pete himself, who is also an anti-vaxxer.
'You all can contribute to the future of our rights and also the coming generation,' Pete says in a short clip.

It comes after the former My Kitchen Rules host ridiculously suggested he may be immune to COVID-19, a highly-contagious virus that so far has infected 6.8 million people and killed 397,000 worldwide.
He made the bizarre and irresponsible claims during his interview with Liz Hayes on 60 Minutes - but his statements were edited out of the version that went to air on Sunday night.
The full interview is now publicly available on Pete's YouTube channel, including his unscientific claim about supposedly being resistant to COVID-19.

'We know there's a flu that goes around, whatever strain or mutation or whatever that is, who knows? I've never had a flu vaccine because I'm not concerned about catching a flu,' Pete said.
'And am I fearful of COVID-19, if I came into contact with anybody [who has it]? No I'm not, because I believe in who I am and my ability to stay as healthy as I can through anything,' he added.
There is no evidence to suggest that believing yourself to be healthy eliminates the possibility of contracting or experiencing severe symptoms of coronavirus.

Across the world, people of all ages, backgrounds and levels of health have died from coronavirus - including people like Pete who follow the Paleolithic diet.
Even if someone contracts COVID-19 but does not show any symptoms, they are still infectious and could pass the deadly virus to someone else.
The only known ways to reduce the risk of catching COVID-19 is to socially distance from others and to maintain good hygiene.
Coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11.
Pete was recently released from his contract with Channel Seven after making a series of unscientific and dangerous claims relating to COVID-19 and vaccines.

He insists, however, that he is not an 'anti-vaxxer' but instead 'pro-choice' for medical freedom.
Many anti-vaccination campaigners are beginning to use the term 'pro-choice' - which is most commonly associated with abortion rights - instead of 'anti-vaxxer' in order to make their views seem more socially acceptable.
Vaccinations are a simple, safe and effective way of protecting people against harmful diseases before they come into contact with them.
The jabs protect individuals and others in the community by reducing the spread of preventable diseases.
Melbourne psychologist Dr Rhonda Garad tweeted after the interview: 'Pete Evans telling the world his is mentally sound while showing he is mentally unsound. He needs psychological help not publicity.'
