Star Rejects Anti-Vaccine Stance Following Voicing Disputed Pandemic Documentary

Liam Neeson has provided his narration to a new documentary that questions the safety of vaccines and praises one-time government figure RFK Jr.

The Film's Provocative Basis

Called "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is inspired by a popular book co-authored by Judy Mikovits, who gained notoriety during the pandemic for allegations that the virus was linked to a bad strain of the flu vaccine.

The publication's writing partner, a producer, has previously authored books with controversial radio host a known commentator. The producer recently posted celebrating Neeson's role in the documentary.

A Firm Statement

Representatives for the actor have issued a statement pushing back against claims that he subscribes to anti-immunization beliefs.

"Everyone can understand that corruption might be present within the medical sector, but that should never be confused with opposition to vaccines," the response explains. "He never has been, and cannot be described as, against vaccines. His long work with the UN children's agency underscores his long-held support for public-health initiatives."

The statement noted that the performer did not shape the project's narrative and that concerns about its content are best addressed to the creators.

Key Assertions In the Film

According to the documentary, the narration spoken by Neeson features several provocative claims:

• It suggests that pro-vaccine voices have demanded "blind obedience" to government bodies.
• It declares that "science has become dangerously politicized."
• Kennedy is shown claiming, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they just aren't adequately tested."
• The film further attacks pandemic restrictions, claiming they caused severe distress that cost thousands of lives.
• Concerning the immunizations, it references a view that they were "hurriedly approved" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Historical Background and Ongoing Issues

The film further cites a past television report about clinical trials on children, which was later the topic of a correction by the broadcaster for editorial breaches.

In recent weeks, RFK Jr instructed the national health agency to change its long-held position that there is no connection between immunizations and autism spectrum disorder. This assertion is repeated in the film, despite a recent study from the global health body stating no evidence has been found.

A Previous Record of Advocacy

Contrasting the documentary's narrative, Neeson has formerly voiced firm endorsement for vaccines in his position as a Unicef global ambassador.

Previously, he referred to vaccines as "an extraordinary achievement," stating that "The discourse about vaccines in lately has forgotten how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest shared accomplishments in human history."

The film finishes with Neeson's voice stating, "This is not the conclusion of our narrative. Rather, it is the start of a new chapter."
