Performer Rejects Anti-Vaccine Views Following Lending His Voice To Disputed Covid Film

The acclaimed actor has lent his narration to a new documentary that questions the legitimacy of vaccines and lauds one-time government figure Robert F Kennedy Jr.

The Film's Disputed Foundation

Named "Plague of Corruption," the film is based on a bestselling book co-authored by a disgraced researcher, who gained notoriety during the global outbreak for assertions that Covid was caused by a faulty batch of the influenza shot.

Her collaborator, the executive producer, has penned books with controversial media personality Alex Jones. Heckenlively wrote online praising Neeson's participation in the film.

An Unequivocal Rebuttal

The team of the actor have issued a statement strongly denying implications that he supports anti-vaccine sentiments.

"We all understand that misconduct can exist within the pharmaceutical industry, but that should never be equated to opposition to vaccines," the response explains. "Liam never has been, and remains not, anti-vaccination. His extensive work with Unicef highlights his long-held support for worldwide vaccination initiatives."

The statement added that the actor was not involved in crafting the project's narrative and that concerns about its assertions are best addressed to the filmmakers.

Major Claims Featured in the Feature

According to the documentary, the voiceover spoken by Neeson includes several provocative points:

• It suggests that pro-vaccine voices have called for "unconditional submission" to public institutions.
• It declares that "medical science has become dangerously influenced by politics."
• Robert F Kennedy Jr is shown stating, "The big problem with vaccines is that they just aren't properly vetted."
• It further attacks pandemic restrictions, saying they caused severe distress that cost thousands of lives.
• Regarding pandemic shots, it references a report that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "risky trials."

Previous Controversy and Current Issues

It includes a past television report about clinical trials on children, which was subsequently the focus of a BBC apology by the broadcaster for violations of guidelines.

Last month, Kennedy directed the Centers for Disease Control to change its long-held position that there is no connection between vaccines and autism. This supposed link is also referenced in the film, despite a recent study from the global health body reiterating no such link has been found.

An Earlier Record of Support

Differing from the film's narrative, Neeson has in the past shown clear advocacy for vaccines in his role as a charity ambassador.

In 2022, he referred to vaccines as "an extraordinary human success story," stating that "The debate about vaccines in lately has forgotten how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in human history."

The documentary finishes with Neeson's voice proclaiming, "This marks not the end of our narrative. Rather, it is the start of a fresh chapter."
