🔗 Share this article Performer Rejects Anti-Vaccine Views Following Narrating Controversial Covid Film Liam Neeson has lent his voice to a new documentary that casts doubt on the efficacy of immunizations and lauds ex- government figure Robert F Kennedy Jr. The Feature's Contentious Foundation Titled "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is inspired by a well-known publication written by Judy Mikovits, who rose to infamy during the health crisis for allegations that Covid was caused by a faulty batch of the influenza shot. The publication's writing partner, a producer, has previously authored books with far-right figure the Infowars host. He wrote online praising Neeson's role in the documentary. A Firm Statement The team of the actor have provided a statement pushing back against claims that he supports anti-vax beliefs. "We all recognize that corruption might be present within the pharmaceutical industry, but that cannot be equated to being against vaccines," the comment states. "Liam never has been, and remains not, anti-vax. His extensive work with the UN children's agency highlights his enduring support for global immunisation initiatives." The response added that the actor had no hand in the film's messaging and that inquiries about its claims should be directed to the creators. Major Claims Featured in the Feature As presented, the narration spoken by Neeson includes several strong claims: It states that pro-immunization voices have called for "complete compliance" to public institutions. It posits that "medical science has become dangerously politicized." RFK Jr is featured stating, "The big problem with vaccines is that they simply are not adequately tested." The film further attacks stay-at-home orders, arguing they caused psychological harm that led to the loss of thousands of lives. Concerning Covid vaccines, it cites a perspective that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "hazardous tests." Past Background and Ongoing Disputes It includes a 2004 BBC documentary about clinical trials on children, which was subsequently the topic of a BBC apology by the network for violations of guidelines. In recent weeks, RFK Jr called on the Centers for Disease Control to change its official position that there is no link between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder. This supposed link is also referenced in the documentary, despite a recent study from the World Health Organisation confirming no evidence has been found. A Past Record of Support Standing in contrast to the film's message, Neeson has previously expressed clear advocacy for vaccines in his position as a Unicef global ambassador. Two years ago, he called vaccines as "an extraordinary achievement," adding that "The discourse about vaccines in the past few years has overlooked how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest human endeavors in history." "Plague of Corruption" concludes with Neeson's narration proclaiming, "This is not the finish of our journey. Rather, it is the dawn of a different phase."
