Performer Refutes Anti-Vaccine Views After Narrating Disputed Covid Feature

Liam Neeson has lent his voice to a feature-length documentary that questions the safety of vaccinations and commends ex- cabinet secretary the political figure.

The Feature's Provocative Basis

Named "Plague of Corruption," the project is adapted from a well-known publication written by a disgraced researcher, who gained notoriety during the health crisis for allegations that Covid was linked to a faulty batch of the influenza shot.

The book's collaborator, Kent Heckenlively, has also written books with controversial radio host the Infowars host. He wrote online hailing Neeson's involvement in the documentary.

A Firm Denial

Representatives for Neeson have provided a response pushing back against implications that he holds anti-vax sentiments.

"Everyone can understand that corruption might be present within the pharmaceutical industry, but that should never be conflated with opposition to vaccines," the response explains. "Liam never has been, and remains not, anti-vax. His long work with the UN children's agency underscores his enduring support for global immunisation initiatives."

The statement continued that the actor had no hand in the documentary's narrative and that questions about its claims are best addressed to the filmmakers.

Major Assertions In the Documentary

According to the documentary, the narration spoken by Neeson includes several provocative claims:

• It suggests that pro-immunization voices have demanded "blind obedience" to public institutions.
• It declares that "research has become highly politicised."
• Kennedy is interviewed claiming, "The big problem with vaccines is that they just aren't safely tested."
• It further attacks Covid lockdowns, saying they caused psychological harm that resulted in thousands of lives.
• Concerning pandemic shots, it mentions a report that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Past Context and Recent Issues

It includes a historical film about clinical trials on children, which was subsequently the focus of a correction by the broadcaster for unbalanced reporting.

Last month, RFK Jr instructed the CDC to revise its official position that there is no link between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder. This assertion is also referenced in the documentary, despite a fresh analysis from the WHO confirming no connection has been found.

A Past Position of Endorsement

Contrasting the documentary's message, Neeson has in the past voiced clear advocacy for vaccines in his role as a charity ambassador.

Previously, he described vaccines as "an incredible human success story," stating that "The debate about vaccines in recent years has lost sight of how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in history."

"Plague of Corruption" concludes with Neeson's narration stating, "This isn't the conclusion of our narrative. Rather, it is the beginning of a different phase."
