Star Denies Anti-Vax Position Following Voicing Controversial Coronavirus Feature

The "Taken" star has provided his narration to a feature-length documentary that questions the efficacy of immunizations and praises former government figure Robert F Kennedy Jr.

The Documentary's Contentious Origins

Called "Plague of Corruption," the project is based on a well-known publication co-authored by a controversial scientist, who gained notoriety during the pandemic for assertions that the virus was caused by a bad strain of the seasonal immunization.

The publication's co-author, the executive producer, has penned books with controversial radio host a known commentator. Heckenlively recently posted hailing Neeson's role in the film.

A Strong Statement

The team of the actor have released a statement pushing back against implications that he holds anti-vax beliefs.

"Everyone can understand that misconduct can exist within the drug industry, but that must not be equated to being against vaccines," the comment reads. "Neeson has never been, and is not, anti-vax. His extensive work with the UN children's agency underscores his long-held support for public-health initiatives."

The statement added that the actor was not involved in crafting the project's editorial content and that inquiries about its content should be directed to the filmmakers.

Major Themes In the Film

In the film, the voiceover read by Neeson makes several controversial statements:

• It states that pro-immunization voices have insisted on "blind obedience" to government bodies.
• It declares that "research has become dangerously influenced by politics."
• Robert F Kennedy Jr is featured stating, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they simply are not adequately tested."
• The narration also criticizes Covid lockdowns, arguing they caused psychological harm that led to the loss of thousands of lives.
• Regarding Covid vaccines, it mentions a report that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Historical Controversy and Current Disputes

It includes a 2004 BBC documentary about HIV drug testing on children, which was subsequently the subject of a correction by the broadcaster for editorial breaches.

Recently, Kennedy instructed the Centers for Disease Control to revise its longstanding position that there is no causal relationship between immunizations and autism spectrum disorder. This claim is also referenced in the film, contrary to a new report from the WHO stating no such link has been found.

A Past Statement of Endorsement

Standing in contrast to the film's narrative, Neeson has in the past expressed firm endorsement for vaccines in his role as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

Two years ago, he called vaccines as "an incredible achievement," adding that "The conversation about vaccines in lately has forgotten how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest human endeavors in history."

The film concludes with Neeson's narration stating, "This is not the finish of our narrative. Rather, it is the beginning of a fresh chapter."
