Performer Denies Anti-Vaxxer Position After Narrating Controversial Covid Film

The "Taken" star has given his vocal talents to a feature-length documentary that challenges the safety of vaccines and lauds ex- health official RFK Jr.

The Film's Disputed Foundation

Called "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is based on a well-known publication written by Judy Mikovits, who rose to infamy during the global outbreak for claims that the virus was linked to a bad strain of the seasonal immunization.

Her writing partner, Kent Heckenlively, has penned books with far-right radio host the Infowars host. Heckenlively wrote online hailing Neeson's participation in the film.

An Unequivocal Rebuttal

The team of Neeson have released a response firmly refuting implications that he holds anti-immunization views.

"Everyone can understand that corruption might be present within the medical sector, but that should never be conflated with rejection of vaccines," the comment explains. "Neeson never has been, and cannot be described as, anti-vaccination. His extensive work with the UN children's agency highlights his enduring support for global immunisation initiatives."

It continued that the performer had no hand in the film's editorial content and that questions about its content ought to go to the producers.

Key Assertions Within the Documentary

In the film, the script spoken by Neeson includes several provocative claims:

• It suggests that pro-vaccine voices have called for "unconditional submission" to public institutions.
• It declares that "science has become highly politicised."
• Kennedy is interviewed stating, "The major issue with vaccines is that they are not safely tested."
• It also criticizes stay-at-home orders, claiming they caused mental anguish that cost thousands of lives.
• Concerning the immunizations, it references a view that they were "developed too quickly" and seen as "risky trials."

Historical Controversy and Current Debates

The film further cites a historical film about HIV drug testing on children, which was later the focus of a BBC apology by the corporation for editorial breaches.

Last month, the political figure instructed the Centers for Disease Control to revise its long-held position that there is no connection between immunizations and autism spectrum disorder. This assertion is echoed in the documentary, contrary to a new report from the global health body reiterating no evidence has been found.

A Past Statement of Endorsement

Contrasting the film's message, Neeson has in the past shown firm endorsement for vaccines in his position as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

Two years ago, he called vaccines as "an incredible human success story," stating that "The debate about vaccines in recent years has overlooked how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest shared accomplishments in our history."

The documentary ends with Neeson's narration saying, "This is not the finish of our journey. Rather, it is the start of a different phase."
