Performer Refutes Anti-Vaxxer Stance Following Voicing Controversial Covid Film

The acclaimed actor has lent his narration to a feature-length documentary that questions the legitimacy of vaccinations and commends one-time cabinet secretary RFK Jr.

The Documentary's Provocative Origins

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the project is adapted from a well-known publication published by Judy Mikovits, who gained notoriety during the health crisis for assertions that the illness was caused by a bad strain of the seasonal immunization.

The book's co-author, Kent Heckenlively, has penned books with conspiracy-prone media personality the Infowars host. The producer recently posted praising Neeson's involvement in the film.

A Strong Rebuttal

The team of Liam Neeson have issued a response pushing back against implications that he supports anti-vax beliefs.

"Many acknowledge that misconduct may occur within the drug industry, but that should never be conflated with opposition to vaccines," the response reads. "Liam never has been, and remains not, against vaccines. His extensive work with Unicef underscores his consistent support for global immunisation initiatives."

It noted that the performer did not shape the documentary's narrative and that inquiries about its assertions should be directed to the creators.

Major Themes Featured in the Film

As presented, the voiceover read by Neeson makes several provocative statements:

• It states that pro-immunization voices have demanded "complete compliance" to public institutions.
• It declares that "science has become dangerously politicized."
• Kennedy is featured claiming, "The big problem with vaccines is that they simply are not adequately tested."
• It takes aim at Covid lockdowns, arguing they caused psychological harm that resulted in thousands of lives.
• On the topic of pandemic shots, it cites a report that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "dangerous experiments."

Historical Controversy and Recent Disputes

It includes a past television report about HIV drug testing on children, which was later the focus of a formal apology by the broadcaster for unbalanced reporting.

In recent weeks, Kennedy instructed the national health agency to revise its long-held position that there is no link between vaccines and autism. This assertion is echoed in the film, despite a new report from the World Health Organisation confirming no connection has been found.

A Previous Statement of Support

Differing from the documentary's narrative, Neeson has previously voiced strong support for vaccines in his role as a Unicef global ambassador.

Two years ago, he referred to vaccines as "an incredible triumph," adding that "The debate about vaccines in lately has forgotten how much benefit they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in our history."

The film ends with Neeson's narration proclaiming, "This isn't the finish of our journey. This is the beginning of a new chapter."
