Performer Refutes Anti-Vax Position After Voicing Contentious Pandemic Documentary

The acclaimed actor has provided his vocal talents to a new documentary that casts doubt on the efficacy of immunizations and lauds former government figure Robert F Kennedy Jr.

The Documentary's Provocative Origins

Named "Plague of Corruption," the film is inspired by a popular book published by a disgraced researcher, who gained notoriety during the pandemic for allegations that Covid was linked to a faulty batch of the influenza shot.

Her collaborator, the executive producer, has previously authored books with conspiracy-prone radio host the Infowars host. The producer wrote online praising Neeson's role in the film.

A Firm Statement

Representatives for Liam Neeson have provided a response pushing back against claims that he holds anti-immunization beliefs.

"Many understand that unethical practices might be present within the pharmaceutical industry, but that should never be conflated with rejection of vaccines," the response states. "Liam never has been, and is not, against vaccines. His extensive work with the global charity highlights his long-held support for worldwide vaccination initiatives."

The statement noted that the performer was not involved in crafting the film's messaging and that questions about its claims should be directed to the creators.

Key Assertions Featured in the Feature

In the film, the script read by Neeson features several strong claims:

• It states that pro-immunization voices have insisted on "complete compliance" to public institutions.
• It posits that "medical science has become deeply politicised."
• Robert F Kennedy Jr is shown stating, "The major issue with vaccines is that they are not adequately tested."
• The film also criticizes Covid lockdowns, claiming they caused psychological harm that led to the loss of thousands of lives.
• On the topic of the immunizations, it references a report that they were "hurriedly approved" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Previous Context and Current Debates

The documentary includes a historical film about AIDS medication trials on children, which was later the topic of a BBC apology by the broadcaster for unbalanced reporting.

Recently, Kennedy called on the national health agency to alter its longstanding position that there is no causal relationship between immunizations and autism spectrum disorder. This supposed link is echoed in the documentary, even with a new report from the WHO stating no such link has been found.

A Previous Statement of Endorsement

Contrasting the documentary's tone, Neeson has formerly voiced clear advocacy for vaccines in his capacity as a Unicef global ambassador.

In 2022, he called vaccines as "a remarkable triumph," noting that "The debate about vaccines in lately has forgotten how much positive impact they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in our history."

The film ends with Neeson's script saying, "This marks not the end of our narrative. This is the start of a new chapter."
