Star Denies Anti-Vaxxer Stance Following Voicing Disputed Covid Film

The "Taken" star has given his vocal talents to a recent film that casts doubt on the efficacy of immunizations and commends ex- health official the political figure.

The Film's Disputed Foundation

Called "Plague of Corruption," the project is based on a bestselling book published by Judy Mikovits, who rose to infamy during the health crisis for claims that the illness was linked to a faulty batch of the seasonal immunization.

The book's writing partner, Kent Heckenlively, has also written books with controversial media personality a known commentator. Heckenlively took to social media praising Neeson's participation in the documentary.

An Unequivocal Statement

The team of Liam Neeson have released a statement firmly refuting claims that he holds anti-vaccine sentiments.

"We all recognize that misconduct can exist within the medical sector, but that should never be conflated with opposition to vaccines," the response reads. "He never has been, and remains not, against vaccines. His extensive work with the global charity highlights his enduring support for global immunisation initiatives."

The statement added that the star did not shape the film's messaging and that questions about its claims should be directed to the creators.

Key Themes In the Documentary

In the film, the voiceover spoken by Neeson features several strong statements:

  • It suggests that pro-vaccine voices have called for "complete compliance" to public institutions.
  • It argues that "medical science has become highly politicised."
  • Kennedy is featured saying, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they simply are not adequately tested."
  • The narration further attacks Covid lockdowns, arguing they caused psychological harm that resulted in thousands of lives.
  • Concerning the immunizations, it cites a report that they were "hurriedly approved" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Past Background and Ongoing Issues

It includes a past television report about HIV drug testing on children, which was later the topic of a correction by the corporation for unbalanced reporting.

Recently, RFK Jr instructed the national health agency to revise its official position that there is no causal relationship between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder. This claim is repeated in the documentary, despite a recent study from the World Health Organisation confirming no connection has been found.

An Earlier Statement of Support

Contrasting the documentary's narrative, Neeson has in the past expressed clear advocacy for vaccines in his position as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

In 2022, he referred to vaccines as "an incredible human success story," noting that "The conversation about vaccines in the past few years has forgotten how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest human endeavors in history."

The film concludes with Neeson's voice proclaiming, "This marks not the conclusion of our story. This is the beginning of a different phase."
