Actor Denies Anti-Vax Views Following Narrating Disputed Covid Feature

The "Taken" star has lent his vocal talents to a feature-length documentary that questions the efficacy of vaccines and commends former health official RFK Jr.

The Film's Provocative Foundation

Named "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is inspired by a popular book co-authored by a controversial scientist, who gained notoriety during the global outbreak for allegations that the illness was a result of a bad strain of the influenza shot.

Her writing partner, a producer, has also written books with conspiracy-prone media personality a known commentator. The producer took to social media praising Neeson's involvement in the film.

An Unequivocal Rebuttal

A spokesperson for Liam Neeson have issued a response firmly refuting claims that he supports anti-vaccine beliefs.

"Many recognize that misconduct can exist within the pharmaceutical industry, but that must not be conflated with being against vaccines," the statement explains. "He has never been, and remains not, anti-vaccination. His considerable work with the global charity underscores his long-held support for worldwide vaccination initiatives."

It continued that the actor did not shape the project's editorial content and that concerns about its claims are best addressed to the creators.

Key Assertions Featured in the Film

In the film, the script read by Neeson includes several controversial statements:

• It claims that pro-immunization voices have called for "blind obedience" to public institutions.
• It declares that "research has become dangerously influenced by politics."
• Kennedy is featured saying, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they are not safely tested."
• It also criticizes stay-at-home orders, saying they caused mental anguish that resulted in thousands of lives.
• Concerning pandemic shots, it cites a perspective that they were "developed too quickly" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Past Background and Current Debates

The film includes a historical film about HIV drug testing on children, which was later the subject of a BBC apology by the corporation for unbalanced reporting.

Last month, Kennedy instructed the national health agency to change its official position that there is no link between immunizations and autism. This assertion is repeated in the documentary, despite a recent study from the global health body confirming no such link has been found.

An Earlier Statement of Advocacy

Standing in contrast to the film's tone, Neeson has formerly shown clear advocacy for vaccines in his role as a charity ambassador.

Two years ago, he described vaccines as "an extraordinary achievement," stating that "The debate about vaccines in lately has forgotten how much positive impact they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest human endeavors in human history."

The documentary ends with Neeson's script saying, "This marks not the finish of our narrative. This is the start of a fresh chapter."
