Performer Denies Anti-Vax Stance Following Narrating Contentious Covid Feature

Liam Neeson has lent his narration to a feature-length documentary that questions the legitimacy of vaccinations and commends one-time government figure Robert F Kennedy Jr.

The Documentary's Provocative Foundation

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is inspired by a popular book written by a controversial scientist, who gained notoriety during the pandemic for allegations that Covid was linked to a faulty batch of the flu vaccine.

The book's writing partner, a producer, has penned books with controversial figure the Infowars host. Heckenlively took to social media hailing Neeson's role in the film.

An Unequivocal Rebuttal

Representatives for the actor have issued a statement firmly refuting suggestions that he supports anti-vax views.

"Everyone can understand that misconduct can exist within the drug industry, but that should never be confused with rejection of vaccines," the comment states. "He has never been, and is not, against vaccines. His extensive work with Unicef reinforces his consistent support for global immunisation initiatives."

The statement added that the star did not shape the documentary's editorial content and that questions about its assertions are best addressed to the filmmakers.

Key Themes Within the Documentary

According to the documentary, the voiceover read by Neeson includes several provocative statements:

• It states that pro-vaccine voices have insisted on "unconditional submission" to government bodies.
• It declares that "medical science has become dangerously influenced by politics."
• RFK Jr is interviewed stating, "The big problem with vaccines is that they just aren't safely tested."
• The film takes aim at stay-at-home orders, saying they caused mental anguish that cost thousands of lives.
• Regarding Covid vaccines, it mentions a view that they were "developed too quickly" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Past Background and Ongoing Debates

The documentary also references a past television report about clinical trials on children, which was subsequently the subject of a BBC apology by the network for violations of guidelines.

Recently, Kennedy instructed the CDC to alter its long-held position that there is no link between immunizations and autism. This assertion is echoed in the film, despite a fresh analysis from the World Health Organisation confirming no evidence has been found.

A Previous Record of Support

Differing from the documentary's message, Neeson has formerly expressed clear advocacy for vaccines in his position as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

Previously, he referred to vaccines as "a remarkable human success story," noting that "The debate about vaccines in the past few years has lost sight of how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest shared accomplishments in our history."

The film concludes with Neeson's narration proclaiming, "This is not the end of our narrative. This is the dawn of a new chapter."
