🔗 Share this article Actor Denies Anti-Vax Position Following Lending His Voice To Controversial Pandemic Film Liam Neeson has given his narration to a feature-length documentary that questions the legitimacy of vaccinations and praises one-time cabinet secretary the political figure. The Film's Contentious Foundation Called "Plague of Corruption," the project is adapted from a bestselling book published by a controversial scientist, who gained notoriety during the health crisis for assertions that the illness was a result of a problematic version of the influenza shot. The book's collaborator, the executive producer, has previously authored books with conspiracy-prone radio host Alex Jones. Heckenlively took to social media celebrating Neeson's participation in the film. An Unequivocal Denial A spokesperson for Neeson have issued a statement firmly refuting claims that he supports anti-vaccine beliefs. "Everyone can recognize that corruption can exist within the drug industry, but that cannot be equated to rejection of vaccines," the statement states. "Neeson never has been, and remains not, anti-vax. His extensive work with the UN children's agency underscores his long-held support for worldwide vaccination initiatives." The response added that the performer did not shape the project's editorial content and that inquiries about its claims are best addressed to the filmmakers. Key Claims Featured in the Feature According to the documentary, the narration read by Neeson makes several controversial statements: It suggests that pro-immunization voices have insisted on "unconditional submission" to public institutions. It declares that "science has become deeply politicised." RFK Jr is interviewed claiming, "The big problem with vaccines is that they just aren't adequately tested." The narration also criticizes Covid lockdowns, saying they caused psychological harm that resulted in thousands of lives. Regarding the immunizations, it mentions a report that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "risky trials." Historical Controversy and Recent Disputes The documentary includes a historical film about clinical trials on children, which was subsequently the focus of a correction by the network for editorial breaches. Last month, RFK Jr directed the CDC to alter its long-held position that there is no causal relationship between immunizations and autism. This supposed link is also referenced in the documentary, contrary to a new report from the WHO confirming no evidence has been found. A Previous Statement of Endorsement Differing from the documentary's narrative, Neeson has in the past voiced strong support for vaccines in his position as a charity ambassador. Two years ago, he described vaccines as "an extraordinary triumph," noting that "The discourse about vaccines in the past few years has overlooked how much benefit they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest shared accomplishments in our history." The film finishes with Neeson's voice proclaiming, "This marks not the end of our journey. Rather, it is the start of a fresh chapter."
