🔗 Share this article Star Rejects Anti-Vaccine Position Following Voicing Disputed Coronavirus Feature The "Taken" star has given his narration to a new documentary that challenges the legitimacy of vaccines and lauds one-time cabinet secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. The Documentary's Contentious Origins Titled "Plague of Corruption," the project is adapted from a popular book published by a controversial scientist, who rose to infamy during the pandemic for claims that Covid was a result of a bad strain of the seasonal immunization. The publication's co-author, Kent Heckenlively, has previously authored books with conspiracy-prone figure the Infowars host. The producer took to social media hailing Neeson's involvement in the film. A Strong Statement A spokesperson for Liam Neeson have issued a response firmly refuting suggestions that he holds anti-vax views. "Many understand that misconduct may occur within the drug industry, but that should never be conflated with being against vaccines," the statement reads. "Liam is not, and is not, against vaccines. His extensive work with the global charity reinforces his enduring support for global immunisation initiatives." The statement noted that the actor had no hand in the project's messaging and that concerns about its content should be directed to the producers. Central Themes In the Documentary In the film, the narration read by Neeson includes several provocative statements: It claims that pro-immunization voices have insisted on "complete compliance" to health authorities. It declares that "research has become dangerously politicised." Robert F Kennedy Jr is shown claiming, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they are not safely tested." The film takes aim at Covid lockdowns, claiming they caused severe distress that resulted in thousands of lives. On the topic of Covid vaccines, it references a perspective that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "risky trials." Historical Background and Current Disputes The film further cites a past television report about AIDS medication trials on children, which was later the topic of a BBC apology by the corporation for violations of guidelines. In recent weeks, the political figure called on the Centers for Disease Control to revise its longstanding position that there is no connection between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder. This claim is echoed in the documentary, contrary to a new report from the WHO stating no such link has been found. A Past Record of Support Contrasting the documentary's tone, Neeson has previously expressed strong support for vaccines in his capacity as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Previously, he called vaccines as "an incredible human success story," noting that "The debate about vaccines in recent years has lost sight of how much benefit they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest human endeavors in human history." "Plague of Corruption" concludes with Neeson's voice saying, "This marks not the conclusion of our story. Rather, it is the start of a fresh chapter."
