Actor Refutes Anti-Vax Stance After Lending His Voice To Contentious Covid Documentary

The "Taken" star has given his vocal talents to a feature-length documentary that challenges the efficacy of vaccines and lauds ex- cabinet secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.

The Documentary's Contentious Origins

Named "Plague of Corruption," the project is adapted from a well-known publication published by Judy Mikovits, who became famous during the global outbreak for claims that the illness was linked to a faulty batch of the seasonal immunization.

Her writing partner, Kent Heckenlively, has previously authored books with conspiracy-prone media personality the Infowars host. Heckenlively recently posted celebrating Neeson's role in the project.

An Unequivocal Rebuttal

A spokesperson for Liam Neeson have issued a statement pushing back against suggestions that he holds anti-vaccine views.

"Many understand that corruption may occur within the pharmaceutical industry, but that cannot be confused with being against vaccines," the statement states. "He is not, and is not, anti-vaccination. His extensive work with the global charity highlights his consistent support for global immunisation initiatives."

The statement noted that the star had no hand in the documentary's editorial content and that questions about its assertions ought to go to the filmmakers.

Central Assertions Within the Documentary

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

• It suggests that pro-immunization voices have insisted on "complete compliance" to health authorities.
• It posits that "science has become deeply influenced by politics."
• Robert F Kennedy Jr is featured saying, "The major issue with vaccines is that they just aren't safely tested."
• It also criticizes Covid lockdowns, saying they caused severe distress that led to the loss of thousands of lives.
• On the topic of the immunizations, it mentions a report that they were "developed too quickly" and seen as "dangerous experiments."

Historical Background and Recent Disputes

The film further cites a 2004 BBC documentary about HIV drug testing on children, which was subsequently the subject of a correction by the corporation for violations of guidelines.

Recently, Kennedy called on the national health agency to change its official position that there is no link between vaccines and autism. This supposed link is echoed in the film, contrary to a recent study from the global health body confirming no such link has been found.

An Earlier Record of Advocacy

Standing in contrast to the documentary's tone, Neeson has in the past voiced firm endorsement for vaccines in his role as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

Previously, he called vaccines as "a remarkable triumph," stating that "The conversation about vaccines in lately has overlooked how much positive impact they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest human endeavors in human history."

"Plague of Corruption" ends with Neeson's narration saying, "This isn't the end of our journey. This is the dawn of a different phase."
