Performer Denies Anti-Vax Position After Lending His Voice To Controversial Covid Film

Liam Neeson has lent his narration to a recent film that casts doubt on the efficacy of immunizations and lauds ex- government figure RFK Jr.

The Documentary's Contentious Foundation

Named "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is inspired by a well-known publication written by Judy Mikovits, who rose to infamy during the global outbreak for assertions that the illness was caused by a bad strain of the influenza shot.

The publication's writing partner, a producer, has also written books with far-right radio host Alex Jones. Heckenlively took to social media celebrating Neeson's role in the project.

A Strong Statement

A spokesperson for Liam Neeson have provided a response pushing back against suggestions that he subscribes to anti-vaccine beliefs.

"Many understand that unethical practices might be present within the drug industry, but that should never be conflated with rejection of vaccines," the comment states. "Neeson is not, and cannot be described as, anti-vax. His long work with the global charity underscores his long-held support for global immunisation initiatives."

The statement continued that the actor had no hand in the project's editorial content and that concerns about its claims should be directed to the creators.

Major Assertions In the Feature

According to the documentary, the narration read by Neeson features several controversial claims:

• It claims that pro-vaccine voices have demanded "complete compliance" to health authorities.
• It posits that "medical science has become highly politicised."
• Robert F Kennedy Jr is featured claiming, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they simply are not properly vetted."
• It takes aim at pandemic restrictions, arguing they caused mental anguish that led to the loss of thousands of lives.
• Concerning the immunizations, it references a view that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "risky trials."

Historical Context and Current Debates

The film also references a historical film about AIDS medication trials on children, which was subsequently the topic of a correction by the network for violations of guidelines.

Recently, the political figure instructed the national health agency to revise its longstanding position that there is no connection between immunizations and autism spectrum disorder. This claim is echoed in the documentary, contrary to a fresh analysis from the global health body confirming no such link has been found.

An Earlier Statement of Endorsement

Contrasting the film's message, Neeson has in the past expressed firm endorsement for vaccines in his capacity as a charity ambassador.

Two years ago, he described vaccines as "an incredible triumph," adding 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 history."

The film concludes with Neeson's voice stating, "This isn't the end of our story. Rather, it is the beginning of a new chapter."
