Star Denies Anti-Vaxxer Stance After Voicing Disputed Pandemic Feature

The "Taken" star has lent his vocal talents to a recent film that challenges the safety of immunizations and lauds ex- government figure Robert F Kennedy Jr.

The Film's Provocative Basis

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the film is inspired by a bestselling book co-authored by Judy Mikovits, who gained notoriety during the global outbreak for assertions that the virus was caused by a faulty batch of the flu vaccine.

The publication's collaborator, a producer, has penned books with conspiracy-prone radio host the Infowars host. The producer took to social media praising Neeson's participation in the project.

A Firm Denial

A spokesperson for Liam Neeson have issued a statement firmly refuting implications that he holds anti-vax beliefs.

"We all recognize that unethical practices might be present within the drug industry, but that should never be conflated with rejection of vaccines," the response states. "He is not, and cannot be described as, against vaccines. His long work with Unicef highlights his enduring support for global immunisation initiatives."

The response added that the performer had no hand in the project's messaging and that concerns about its content are best addressed to the creators.

Central Assertions In the Documentary

As presented, the script provided by Neeson includes several provocative statements:

• It states that pro-vaccine voices have called for "unconditional submission" to government bodies.
• It argues that "medical science has become highly politicized."
• RFK Jr is featured saying, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they are not safely tested."
• The narration takes aim at pandemic restrictions, saying they caused mental anguish that cost thousands of lives.
• Concerning the immunizations, it cites a perspective that they were "developed too quickly" and seen as "dangerous experiments."

Historical Context and Current Disputes

The film includes a historical film about HIV drug testing on children, which was later the topic of a formal apology by the corporation for violations of guidelines.

Last month, RFK Jr instructed the Centers for Disease Control to change its official position that there is no connection between immunizations and autism spectrum disorder. This assertion is also referenced in the documentary, despite a fresh analysis from the WHO reiterating no such link has been found.

An Earlier Record of Advocacy

Contrasting the film's message, Neeson has previously expressed firm endorsement for vaccines in his capacity as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

In 2022, he called vaccines as "a remarkable human success story," adding that "The conversation about vaccines in the past few years has lost sight of how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in our history."

The film finishes with Neeson's script proclaiming, "This isn't the end of our journey. Rather, it is the start of a new chapter."
