Performer Rejects Anti-Vax Views Following Narrating Disputed Covid Feature

The "Taken" star has provided his voice to a recent film that casts doubt on the efficacy of vaccinations and commends former cabinet secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.

The Film's Contentious Foundation

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is inspired by a bestselling book published by a controversial scientist, who gained notoriety during the health crisis for claims that the virus was linked to a problematic version of the influenza shot.

The book's collaborator, a producer, has penned books with far-right radio host the Infowars host. The producer recently posted hailing Neeson's involvement in the film.

A Firm Rebuttal

The team of the actor have issued a comment firmly refuting implications that he supports anti-immunization views.

"Everyone can recognize that misconduct can exist within the drug industry, but that cannot be conflated with being against vaccines," the response reads. "Liam is not, and remains not, anti-vax. His extensive work with Unicef underscores his consistent support for public-health initiatives."

It continued that the performer did not shape the documentary's messaging and that questions about its content are best addressed to the producers.

Major Themes Featured in the Film

According to the documentary, the script provided by Neeson features several provocative statements:

• It states that pro-vaccine voices have demanded "unconditional submission" to health authorities.
• It argues that "science has become dangerously influenced by politics."
• Kennedy is interviewed saying, "The big problem with vaccines is that they simply are not safely tested."
• It further attacks Covid lockdowns, arguing they caused psychological harm that resulted in thousands of lives.
• Regarding Covid vaccines, it mentions a report that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "risky trials."

Historical Controversy and Ongoing Debates

The film further cites a historical film about AIDS medication trials on children, which was subsequently the focus of a BBC apology by the corporation for violations of guidelines.

Last month, RFK Jr directed the Centers for Disease Control to change its long-held position that there is no connection between immunizations and autism. This claim is repeated in the film, contrary to a fresh analysis from the global health body confirming no evidence has been found.

A Previous Record of Support

Differing from the film's narrative, Neeson has in the past shown firm endorsement for vaccines in his position as a charity ambassador.

Previously, he referred to vaccines as "a remarkable human success story," stating that "The conversation about vaccines in the past few years has lost sight of how much benefit they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest human endeavors in our history."

The documentary finishes with Neeson's script stating, "This is not the finish of our story. Rather, it is the start of a new chapter."
