Performer Denies Anti-Vax Position Following Lending His Voice To Controversial Coronavirus Film

The "Taken" star has given his narration to a feature-length documentary that casts doubt on the safety of vaccines and commends ex- health official the political figure.

The Film's Provocative Basis

Named "Plague of Corruption," the project is inspired by a popular book published by Judy Mikovits, who gained notoriety during the pandemic for claims that the illness was linked to a problematic version of the seasonal immunization.

The book's collaborator, the executive producer, has penned books with far-right figure the Infowars host. He wrote online hailing Neeson's participation in the project.

An Unequivocal Denial

A spokesperson for the actor have provided a statement pushing back against implications that he holds anti-vaccine views.

"Many acknowledge that corruption might be present within the drug industry, but that cannot be equated to opposition to vaccines," the statement states. "He never has been, and remains not, against vaccines. His long work with Unicef highlights his consistent support for public-health initiatives."

The response noted that the star did not shape the film's narrative and that concerns about its assertions should be directed to the creators.

Major Claims Featured in the Film

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

• It claims that pro-vaccine voices have demanded "complete compliance" to health authorities.
• It argues that "medical science has become deeply politicised."
• Robert F Kennedy Jr is interviewed stating, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they are not safely tested."
• The film further attacks Covid lockdowns, claiming they caused mental anguish that resulted in thousands of lives.
• On the topic of pandemic shots, it cites a report that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Historical Controversy and Ongoing Disputes

The film also references a 2004 BBC documentary about clinical trials on children, which was subsequently the focus of a correction by the corporation for unbalanced reporting.

Recently, RFK Jr instructed the national health agency to alter its long-held position that there is no causal relationship between immunizations and autism spectrum disorder. This supposed link is also referenced in the documentary, despite a fresh analysis from the global health body reiterating no such link has been found.

A Previous Record of Advocacy

Standing in contrast to the film's message, Neeson has in the past expressed clear advocacy for vaccines in his role as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

In 2022, he referred to vaccines as "a remarkable achievement," noting that "The discourse about vaccines in the past few years has overlooked how much positive impact 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 end of our narrative. It is the beginning of a new chapter."
