Performer Rejects Anti-Vax Stance After Voicing Contentious Pandemic Feature

The "Taken" star has lent his voice to a new documentary that questions the legitimacy of vaccinations and commends former government figure Robert F Kennedy Jr.

The Film's Provocative Origins

Named "Plague of Corruption," the project is adapted from a well-known publication written by Judy Mikovits, who gained notoriety during the health crisis for claims that Covid was caused by a problematic version of the flu vaccine.

Her collaborator, a producer, has also written books with controversial radio host a known commentator. He wrote online celebrating Neeson's involvement in the project.

A Strong Denial

Representatives for Liam Neeson have issued a statement firmly refuting suggestions that he holds anti-immunization sentiments.

"We all understand that corruption can exist within the pharmaceutical industry, but that cannot be confused with being against vaccines," the comment states. "He never has been, and remains not, anti-vaccination. His long work with the UN children's agency underscores his consistent support for global immunisation initiatives."

It continued that the star was not involved in crafting the documentary's editorial content and that questions about its content should be directed to the producers.

Major Assertions In the Documentary

According to the documentary, the voiceover provided by Neeson features several strong points:

  • It suggests that pro-vaccine voices have insisted on "complete compliance" to public institutions.
  • It argues that "medical science has become highly politicised."
  • Kennedy is shown claiming, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they just aren't adequately tested."
  • It takes aim at Covid lockdowns, saying they caused mental anguish that cost thousands of lives.
  • Concerning pandemic shots, it mentions a perspective that they were "hurriedly approved" and seen as "risky trials."

Past Background and Ongoing Debates

The documentary further cites a past television report about AIDS medication trials on children, which was subsequently the topic of a formal apology by the broadcaster for unbalanced reporting.

Recently, the political figure called on the national health agency to change its longstanding position that there is no connection between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder. This claim is also referenced in the documentary, even with a new report from the WHO confirming no evidence has been found.

An Earlier Position of Support

Differing from the film's tone, Neeson has formerly expressed clear advocacy for vaccines in his position as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

Two years ago, he referred to vaccines as "a remarkable triumph," stating that "The conversation about vaccines in recent years has forgotten how much positive impact they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest human endeavors in history."

The film ends with Neeson's narration saying, "This marks not the end of our narrative. Rather, it is the start of a different phase."
