Performer Denies Anti-Vaccine Position Following Voicing Controversial Covid Feature

Liam Neeson has given his narration to a recent film that casts doubt on the safety of vaccinations and lauds former government figure RFK Jr.

The Film's Provocative Origins

Called "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is adapted from a well-known publication written by Judy Mikovits, who rose to infamy during the health crisis for allegations that the virus was caused by a faulty batch of the influenza shot.

The publication's collaborator, the executive producer, has previously authored books with far-right radio host a known commentator. The producer wrote online hailing Neeson's involvement in the project.

A Firm Denial

A spokesperson for the actor have released a statement pushing back against suggestions that he subscribes to anti-vaccine views.

"Many understand that misconduct can exist within the pharmaceutical industry, but that must not be conflated with rejection of vaccines," the statement explains. "Neeson is not, and remains not, anti-vax. His extensive work with the UN children's agency underscores his long-held support for global immunisation initiatives."

The statement noted that the performer had no hand in the film's messaging and that inquiries about its content are best addressed to the filmmakers.

Central Claims Within the Film

In the film, the narration spoken by Neeson includes several provocative statements:

• It claims that pro-immunization voices have insisted on "unconditional submission" to health authorities.
• It posits that "science has become dangerously influenced by politics."
• RFK Jr is interviewed claiming, "The major issue with vaccines is that they simply are not safely tested."
• It further attacks stay-at-home orders, claiming they caused psychological harm that resulted in thousands of lives.
• Regarding Covid vaccines, it references a view that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "risky trials."

Previous Controversy and Current Issues

It further cites a past television report about HIV drug testing on children, which was afterwards the focus of a BBC apology by the corporation for editorial breaches.

In recent weeks, the political figure called on the CDC to revise its long-held position that there is no connection between immunizations and autism. This assertion is repeated in the film, despite a recent study from the WHO stating no evidence has been found.

A Past Position of Support

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

Previously, he referred to vaccines as "an incredible human success story," stating that "The conversation about vaccines in the past few years has forgotten how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest shared accomplishments in history."

"Plague of Corruption" ends with Neeson's script stating, "This marks not the finish of our story. It is the beginning of a new chapter."
