Star Rejects Anti-Vaccine Stance Following Lending His Voice To Disputed Coronavirus Feature

Liam Neeson has lent his narration to a feature-length documentary that questions the efficacy of immunizations and lauds former cabinet secretary RFK Jr.

The Feature's Disputed Foundation

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is inspired by a popular book published by a disgraced researcher, who became famous during the health crisis for allegations that the illness was linked to a problematic version of the seasonal immunization.

The publication's co-author, a producer, has previously authored books with controversial media personality Alex Jones. He wrote online hailing Neeson's role in the project.

A Strong Denial

Representatives for Neeson have issued a statement strongly denying suggestions that he subscribes to anti-vaccine beliefs.

"We all recognize that unethical practices can exist within the drug industry, but that must not be conflated with opposition to vaccines," the statement reads. "Liam never has been, and cannot be described as, against vaccines. His extensive work with Unicef reinforces his long-held support for global immunisation initiatives."

The statement continued that the star was not involved in crafting the film's narrative and that concerns about its claims should be directed to the creators.

Central Themes Featured in the Documentary

As presented, the voiceover read by Neeson includes several controversial points:

• It claims that pro-immunization voices have demanded "unconditional submission" to public institutions.
• It argues that "medical science has become deeply politicised."
• Robert F Kennedy Jr is interviewed claiming, "The big problem with vaccines is that they simply are not safely tested."
• The film further attacks Covid lockdowns, saying they caused severe distress that led to the loss of thousands of lives.
• Concerning the immunizations, it references a report that they were "hurriedly approved" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Previous Background and Ongoing Disputes

The documentary includes a 2004 BBC documentary about AIDS medication trials on children, which was afterwards the focus of a BBC apology by the corporation for editorial breaches.

In recent weeks, the political figure called on the national health agency to alter its long-held position that there is no link between immunizations and autism spectrum disorder. This assertion is echoed in the film, despite a fresh analysis from the World Health Organisation confirming no connection has been found.

A Previous Statement of Advocacy

Differing from the film's tone, Neeson has formerly expressed firm endorsement for vaccines in his capacity as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

In 2022, he called vaccines as "an incredible human success story," stating that "The discourse about vaccines in the past few years has forgotten how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in history."

"Plague of Corruption" finishes with Neeson's script stating, "This isn't the end of our journey. This is the beginning of a new chapter."
