Star Refutes Anti-Vax Position After Voicing Contentious Coronavirus Documentary

The acclaimed actor has lent his narration to a feature-length documentary that challenges the efficacy of vaccinations and praises former cabinet secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.

The Feature's Provocative Foundation

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is inspired by a well-known publication co-authored by a controversial scientist, who gained notoriety during the health crisis for claims that the virus was a result of a problematic version of the flu vaccine.

The book's collaborator, the executive producer, has penned books with conspiracy-prone media personality the Infowars host. Heckenlively wrote online praising Neeson's role in the film.

A Firm Statement

The team of Liam Neeson have released a comment firmly refuting implications that he holds anti-immunization views.

"We all acknowledge that corruption can exist within the drug industry, but that should never be confused with opposition to vaccines," the response states. "Liam is not, and cannot be described as, anti-vax. His extensive work with Unicef underscores his consistent support for worldwide vaccination initiatives."

The response noted that the star was not involved in crafting the film's messaging and that questions about its assertions ought to go to the creators.

Major Claims In the Documentary

In the film, the script provided by Neeson makes several strong statements:

• It suggests that pro-vaccine voices have called for "complete compliance" to health authorities.
• It argues that "research has become deeply influenced by politics."
• RFK Jr is interviewed claiming, "The big problem with vaccines is that they are not properly vetted."
• The film takes aim at stay-at-home orders, saying they caused psychological harm that resulted in thousands of lives.
• Regarding the immunizations, it references a view that they were "developed too quickly" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Historical Controversy and Recent Disputes

The film includes a historical film about HIV drug testing on children, which was afterwards the subject of a correction by the corporation for editorial breaches.

Recently, the political figure instructed the national health agency to change its official position that there is no connection between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder. This assertion is echoed in the film, even with a fresh analysis from the WHO reiterating no such link has been found.

An Earlier Statement of Endorsement

Differing from the documentary's narrative, Neeson has in the past shown clear advocacy for vaccines in his role as a Unicef global ambassador.

Previously, he called vaccines as "an incredible triumph," 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 our history."

The film finishes with Neeson's voice proclaiming, "This marks not the end of our journey. Rather, it is the start of a fresh chapter."
