Star Denies Anti-Vaccine Stance Following Narrating Disputed Pandemic Feature

The "Taken" star has lent his vocal talents to a feature-length documentary that questions the efficacy of vaccinations and commends former cabinet secretary the political figure.

The Documentary's Disputed Origins

Named "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is inspired by a bestselling book published by a controversial scientist, who became famous during the health crisis for allegations that the virus was a result of a problematic version of the flu vaccine.

Her writing partner, Kent Heckenlively, has also written books with conspiracy-prone figure the Infowars host. He recently posted celebrating Neeson's involvement in the film.

An Unequivocal Rebuttal

A spokesperson for Liam Neeson have issued a statement pushing back against implications that he subscribes to anti-immunization views.

"Everyone can understand that corruption might be present within the medical sector, but that must not be equated to rejection of vaccines," the response states. "Liam never has been, and remains not, anti-vax. His considerable work with the global charity underscores his consistent support for global immunisation initiatives."

It continued that the performer had no hand in the documentary's narrative and that concerns about its claims should be directed to the filmmakers.

Key Assertions Featured in the Film

According to the documentary, the narration provided by Neeson includes several strong points:

• It claims that pro-immunization voices have demanded "complete compliance" to health authorities.
• It argues that "research has become deeply politicised."
• RFK Jr is shown claiming, "The major issue with vaccines is that they simply are not safely tested."
• The narration further attacks Covid lockdowns, claiming they caused psychological harm that led to the loss of thousands of lives.
• Concerning Covid vaccines, it cites a report that they were "hurriedly approved" and seen as "risky trials."

Historical Background and Recent Disputes

The film also references a 2004 BBC documentary about clinical trials on children, which was later the topic of a correction by the network for unbalanced reporting.

Recently, RFK Jr called on the CDC to alter its official position that there is no connection between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder. This assertion is repeated in the film, contrary to a recent study from the WHO stating no connection has been found.

A Previous Position of Advocacy

Differing from the documentary's narrative, Neeson has formerly expressed clear advocacy for vaccines in his role as a charity ambassador.

Previously, he called vaccines as "a remarkable human success story," noting that "The debate about vaccines in the past few years has forgotten how much benefit they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest human endeavors in human history."

The film finishes with Neeson's script stating, "This is not the finish of our story. This is the dawn of a new chapter."
