🔗 Share this article Performer Denies Anti-Vaxxer Views Following Narrating Disputed Covid Feature The "Taken" star has provided his narration to a new documentary that challenges the safety of vaccinations and commends one-time cabinet secretary the political figure. The Documentary's Disputed Foundation Named "Plague of Corruption," the film is adapted from a bestselling book written by a controversial scientist, who gained notoriety during the health crisis for claims that the illness was linked to a bad strain of the seasonal immunization. The book's writing partner, a producer, has also written books with controversial media personality Alex Jones. The producer wrote online celebrating Neeson's role in the project. A Strong Statement Representatives for Neeson have provided a statement pushing back against claims that he holds anti-vax views. "We all recognize that corruption might be present within the pharmaceutical industry, but that should never be confused with being against vaccines," the response states. "Liam has never been, and cannot be described as, anti-vaccination. His long work with the UN children's agency underscores his consistent support for global immunisation initiatives." The statement added that the actor had no hand in the documentary's editorial content and that concerns about its claims should be directed to the creators. Key Themes Within the Documentary In the film, the voiceover read by Neeson features several strong claims: It suggests that pro-immunization voices have called for "blind obedience" to public institutions. It declares that "medical science has become deeply influenced by politics." RFK Jr is interviewed stating, "The big problem with vaccines is that they simply are not adequately tested." It also criticizes Covid lockdowns, saying they caused mental anguish that cost thousands of lives. Concerning pandemic shots, it mentions a report that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "hazardous tests." Past Controversy and Current Disputes The film includes a historical film about HIV drug testing on children, which was afterwards the focus of a correction by the broadcaster for violations of guidelines. Recently, Kennedy directed the Centers for Disease Control to change its long-held position that there is no connection between immunizations and autism spectrum disorder. This supposed link is echoed in the film, despite a fresh analysis from the WHO confirming no connection has been found. A Past Record of Support Standing in contrast to the documentary's narrative, Neeson has formerly shown strong support for vaccines in his capacity as a Unicef global ambassador. Previously, he referred to vaccines as "a remarkable achievement," stating that "The debate about vaccines in recent years has overlooked how much benefit they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in history." The documentary concludes with Neeson's narration saying, "This is not the finish of our journey. This is the beginning of a new chapter."
