Star Refutes Anti-Vaccine Position Following Lending His Voice To Controversial Covid Documentary

The acclaimed actor has given his narration to a recent film that challenges the safety of immunizations and praises ex- health official the political figure.

The Feature's Contentious Origins

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the project is inspired by a popular book published by Judy Mikovits, who gained notoriety during the global outbreak for allegations that the virus was caused by a problematic version of the seasonal immunization.

Her collaborator, a producer, has also written books with controversial media personality the Infowars host. Heckenlively wrote online hailing Neeson's involvement in the documentary.

An Unequivocal Denial

The team of Liam Neeson have released a statement firmly refuting claims that he holds anti-vaccine beliefs.

"Many acknowledge that misconduct may occur within the drug industry, but that cannot be equated to being against vaccines," the response reads. "He is not, and cannot be described as, anti-vax. His long work with the global charity underscores his enduring support for worldwide vaccination initiatives."

The response added that the actor had no hand in the documentary's editorial content and that concerns about its content are best addressed to the producers.

Key Claims Within the Documentary

In the film, the script read by Neeson includes several provocative statements:

• It suggests that pro-immunization voices have insisted on "unconditional submission" to government bodies.
• It argues that "medical science has become dangerously politicised."
• Robert F Kennedy Jr is shown saying, "The big problem with vaccines is that they are not properly vetted."
• It further attacks Covid lockdowns, claiming they caused mental anguish that led to the loss of thousands of lives.
• On the topic of pandemic shots, it mentions a report that they were "hurriedly approved" and seen as "risky trials."

Previous Context and Ongoing Debates

The documentary includes a 2004 BBC documentary about HIV drug testing on children, which was later the topic of a BBC apology by the corporation for editorial breaches.

Recently, the political figure called on the CDC to change its long-held position that there is no link between immunizations and autism. This claim is echoed in the film, even with a new report from the WHO reiterating no such link has been found.

A Past Position of Endorsement

Standing in contrast to the film's narrative, Neeson has in the past shown clear advocacy for vaccines in his role as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

In 2022, he described vaccines as "an incredible human success story," noting that "The conversation about vaccines in the past few years has forgotten how much benefit they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest shared accomplishments in human history."

The documentary finishes with Neeson's script saying, "This marks not the end of our story. It is the start of a different phase."
