Star Rejects Anti-Vax Stance After Narrating Contentious Covid Film

Liam Neeson has given his vocal talents to a new documentary that questions the efficacy of vaccinations and praises one-time cabinet secretary RFK Jr.

The Film's Disputed Foundation

Named "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is based on a popular book written by a disgraced researcher, who gained notoriety during the pandemic for assertions that Covid was caused by a bad strain of the seasonal immunization.

The publication's writing partner, a producer, has also written books with conspiracy-prone radio host the Infowars host. Heckenlively recently posted praising Neeson's role in the film.

An Unequivocal Statement

A spokesperson for Neeson have released a statement firmly refuting implications that he holds anti-immunization sentiments.

"Everyone can understand that unethical practices can exist within the medical sector, but that should never be confused with rejection of vaccines," the comment reads. "He has never been, and is not, against vaccines. His extensive work with the global charity reinforces his long-held support for global immunisation initiatives."

It added that the performer was not involved in crafting the project's editorial content and that questions about its claims ought to go to the producers.

Central Claims In the Feature

In the film, the script spoken by Neeson makes several controversial points:

• It claims that pro-immunization voices have called for "unconditional submission" to public institutions.
• It posits that "science has become highly politicized."
• Kennedy is shown stating, "The major issue with vaccines is that they are not safely tested."
• It takes aim at Covid lockdowns, saying they caused severe distress that cost thousands of lives.
• Regarding Covid vaccines, it references a view that they were "hurriedly approved" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Historical Background and Recent Debates

The documentary further cites a historical film about AIDS medication trials on children, which was later the topic of a correction by the network for unbalanced reporting.

Last month, the political figure instructed the national health agency to alter its long-held position that there is no connection between vaccines and autism. This supposed link is repeated in the film, even with a recent study from the WHO confirming no such link has been found.

An Earlier Position of Advocacy

Standing in contrast to the documentary's narrative, Neeson has formerly expressed firm endorsement for vaccines in his role as a charity ambassador.

Two years ago, he called vaccines as "an extraordinary triumph," noting that "The conversation about vaccines in recent years has lost sight of how much positive impact they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest shared accomplishments in history."

The documentary concludes with Neeson's narration saying, "This is not the end of our story. Rather, it is the dawn of a fresh chapter."
