Star Rejects Anti-Vaxxer Stance Following Lending His Voice To Controversial Pandemic Documentary

The acclaimed actor has lent his narration to a feature-length documentary that challenges the efficacy of vaccinations and commends former government figure RFK Jr.

The Feature's Disputed Origins

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the film is inspired by a bestselling book written by a controversial scientist, who rose to infamy during the pandemic for allegations that Covid was caused by a problematic version of the flu vaccine.

The publication's collaborator, a producer, has previously authored books with conspiracy-prone radio host Alex Jones. He wrote online celebrating Neeson's role in the documentary.

A Firm Rebuttal

Representatives for Neeson have issued a comment firmly refuting claims that he holds anti-vaccine views.

"Everyone can understand that misconduct can exist within the pharmaceutical industry, but that must not be confused with opposition to vaccines," the comment explains. "He never has been, and remains not, against vaccines. His long work with the global charity reinforces his consistent support for global immunisation initiatives."

The response noted that the star was not involved in crafting the documentary's editorial content and that inquiries about its claims are best addressed to the creators.

Central Assertions In the Film

According to the documentary, the narration provided by Neeson makes several provocative claims:

• It states that pro-immunization voices have insisted on "unconditional submission" to health authorities.
• It declares that "research has become highly influenced by politics."
• Kennedy is shown stating, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they simply are not adequately tested."
• The narration further attacks pandemic restrictions, saying they caused mental anguish that cost thousands of lives.
• On the topic of Covid vaccines, it cites a report that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Historical Controversy and Recent Debates

The film also references a past television report about HIV drug testing on children, which was afterwards the topic of a BBC apology by the network for violations of guidelines.

In recent weeks, the political figure called on the CDC to revise its longstanding position that there is no link between vaccines and autism. This claim is also referenced in the documentary, contrary to a new report from the World Health Organisation reiterating no evidence has been found.

A Past Record of Endorsement

Standing in contrast to the documentary's tone, Neeson has in the past expressed clear advocacy for vaccines in his role as a Unicef global ambassador.

Previously, he referred to vaccines as "a remarkable human success story," stating that "The debate about vaccines in lately has forgotten how much benefit they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in our history."

The documentary ends with Neeson's script saying, "This is not the finish of our story. Rather, it is the start of a new chapter."
