Performer Denies Anti-Vax Stance After Lending His Voice To Controversial Pandemic Feature
The "Taken" star has provided his voice to a feature-length documentary that challenges the safety of vaccines and commends former cabinet secretary the political figure.
The Feature's Provocative Origins
Called "Plague of Corruption," the film is adapted from a popular book published by a controversial scientist, who rose to infamy during the global outbreak for claims that Covid was a result of a problematic version of the seasonal immunization.
The publication's co-author, a producer, has previously authored books with conspiracy-prone figure Alex Jones. Heckenlively took to social media hailing Neeson's role in the film.
An Unequivocal Rebuttal
Representatives for Liam Neeson have provided a comment strongly denying claims that he subscribes to anti-vax views.
"Everyone can acknowledge that corruption might be present within the drug industry, but that cannot be confused with being against vaccines," the comment explains. "Neeson has never been, and remains not, against vaccines. His extensive work with the UN children's agency reinforces his consistent support for worldwide vaccination initiatives."
It continued that the actor was not involved in crafting the documentary's narrative and that inquiries about its content are best addressed to the producers.
Central Assertions Featured in the Feature
In the film, the narration spoken by Neeson features several provocative points:
- It claims that pro-vaccine voices have demanded "complete compliance" to health authorities.
- It argues that "research has become deeply influenced by politics."
- Robert F Kennedy Jr is featured claiming, "The major issue with vaccines is that they are not properly vetted."
- The film takes aim at Covid lockdowns, saying they caused severe distress that resulted in thousands of lives.
- Regarding pandemic shots, it cites a report that they were "hurriedly approved" and seen as "risky trials."
Previous Controversy and Current Issues
The documentary also references a 2004 BBC documentary about AIDS medication trials on children, which was later the topic of a correction by the network for editorial breaches.
Last month, Kennedy instructed the CDC to revise its longstanding position that there is no causal relationship between immunizations and autism spectrum disorder. This assertion is repeated in the film, contrary to a recent study from the World Health Organisation stating no evidence has been found.
An Earlier Statement of Advocacy
Differing from the film's message, Neeson has in the past voiced strong support for vaccines in his capacity as a Unicef global ambassador.
Previously, he called vaccines as "an incredible triumph," noting that "The debate about vaccines in the past few years has lost sight of how much benefit they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest shared accomplishments in our history."
The documentary finishes with Neeson's narration saying, "This is not the end of our narrative. This is the start of a new chapter."
