Performer Refutes Anti-Vax Position After Voicing Contentious Coronavirus Film

The "Taken" star has lent his vocal talents to a recent film that challenges the legitimacy of vaccines and praises former government figure RFK Jr.

The Feature's Disputed Foundation

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the project is adapted from a bestselling book co-authored by a controversial scientist, who gained notoriety during the pandemic for claims that the illness was linked to a bad strain of the influenza shot.

The publication's writing partner, Kent Heckenlively, has also written books with controversial figure a known commentator. The producer wrote online praising Neeson's involvement in the project.

A Strong Statement

Representatives for the actor have released a statement strongly denying implications that he holds anti-vax views.

"Everyone can recognize that unethical practices may occur within the medical sector, but that must not be equated to opposition to vaccines," the statement reads. "Liam is not, and is not, anti-vax. His long work with Unicef underscores his consistent support for global immunisation initiatives."

The statement noted that the star was not involved in crafting the film's editorial content and that questions about its assertions are best addressed to the creators.

Key Assertions Featured in the Feature

As presented, the script provided by Neeson features several strong statements:

• It suggests that pro-vaccine voices have demanded "complete compliance" to government bodies.
• It posits that "medical science has become highly politicized."
• Kennedy is featured saying, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they are not adequately tested."
• The narration further attacks Covid lockdowns, claiming they caused severe distress that led to the loss of thousands of lives.
• Regarding pandemic shots, it references a report that they were "developed too quickly" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Previous Context and Ongoing Debates

The film further cites a 2004 BBC documentary about clinical trials on children, which was subsequently the topic of a BBC apology by the network for editorial breaches.

Last month, Kennedy instructed the national health agency to revise its official position that there is no link between immunizations and autism spectrum disorder. This claim is echoed in the film, even with a new report from the World Health Organisation confirming no evidence has been found.

A Previous Statement of Advocacy

Contrasting the film's tone, Neeson has in the past expressed clear advocacy for vaccines in his position as a charity ambassador.

In 2022, he called vaccines as "an extraordinary human success story," stating that "The debate about vaccines in lately has forgotten how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest human endeavors in history."

"Plague of Corruption" concludes with Neeson's script stating, "This is not the finish of our journey. This is the dawn of a fresh chapter."
