Performer Denies Anti-Vax Views After Narrating Controversial Coronavirus Feature

The "Taken" star has given his vocal talents to a new documentary that questions the safety of vaccinations and commends former health official Robert F Kennedy Jr.

The Film's Contentious Foundation

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the project is based on a popular book written by Judy Mikovits, who gained notoriety during the global outbreak for allegations that Covid was caused by a faulty batch of the influenza shot.

Her writing partner, Kent Heckenlively, has penned books with far-right figure a known commentator. Heckenlively wrote online celebrating Neeson's participation in the film.

A Firm Denial

A spokesperson for Liam Neeson have provided a statement firmly refuting implications that he supports anti-vaccine beliefs.

"Everyone can acknowledge that misconduct can exist within the pharmaceutical industry, but that should never be equated to opposition to vaccines," the response states. "Neeson is not, and is not, anti-vax. His considerable work with the global charity reinforces his consistent support for global immunisation initiatives."

The statement noted that the star did not shape the documentary's narrative and that questions about its content ought to go to the creators.

Major Assertions Featured in the Film

In the film, the voiceover provided by Neeson features several strong points:

• It states that pro-immunization voices have called for "blind obedience" to health authorities.
• It posits that "research has become dangerously politicized."
• RFK Jr is shown saying, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they simply are not safely tested."
• It takes aim at Covid lockdowns, arguing they caused psychological harm that cost thousands of lives.
• On the topic of the immunizations, it cites a view that they were "developed too quickly" and seen as "risky trials."

Historical Context and Ongoing Issues

The documentary further cites a historical film about clinical trials on children, which was later the focus of a formal apology by the broadcaster for violations of guidelines.

Recently, RFK Jr instructed the Centers for Disease Control to change its longstanding position that there is no connection between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder. This claim is echoed in the film, even with a fresh analysis from the WHO reiterating no connection has been found.

A Past Statement of Advocacy

Contrasting the film's narrative, Neeson has in the past shown strong support for vaccines in his capacity as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

Previously, he referred to vaccines as "an incredible triumph," adding that "The conversation about vaccines in lately has forgotten how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in history."

The film concludes with Neeson's voice stating, "This isn't the conclusion of our story. This is the beginning of a fresh chapter."
