Actor Rejects Anti-Vax Position After Lending His Voice To Contentious Covid Feature

Liam Neeson has lent his voice to a feature-length documentary that casts doubt on the safety of vaccines and lauds ex- government figure the political figure.

The Documentary's Disputed Basis

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the film is based on a popular book published by Judy Mikovits, who gained notoriety during the health crisis for allegations that the virus was caused by a problematic version of the seasonal immunization.

The publication's co-author, Kent Heckenlively, has previously authored books with controversial figure a known commentator. The producer recently posted praising Neeson's involvement in the film.

A Strong Denial

The team of Liam Neeson have issued a comment firmly refuting claims that he supports anti-vax views.

"Everyone can understand that misconduct may occur within the drug industry, but that must not be conflated with being against vaccines," the statement reads. "Neeson is not, and remains not, against vaccines. His long work with the global charity reinforces his long-held support for worldwide vaccination initiatives."

The response continued that the performer had no hand in the documentary's editorial content and that questions about its content should be directed to the producers.

Major Themes In the Film

As presented, the script provided by Neeson includes several provocative claims:

  • It claims that pro-vaccine voices have called for "unconditional submission" to government bodies.
  • It argues that "research has become deeply politicised."
  • Robert F Kennedy Jr is shown stating, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they are not safely tested."
  • The film takes aim at Covid lockdowns, arguing they caused mental anguish that resulted in thousands of lives.
  • Concerning the immunizations, it mentions a perspective that they were "developed too quickly" and seen as "risky trials."

Historical Controversy and Ongoing Disputes

The documentary includes a 2004 BBC documentary about HIV drug testing on children, which was later the topic of a BBC apology by the broadcaster for violations of guidelines.

In recent weeks, Kennedy called on the national health agency to alter its longstanding position that there is no causal relationship between immunizations and autism. This claim is also referenced in the film, contrary to a fresh analysis from the WHO reiterating no evidence has been found.

A Previous Statement of Support

Contrasting the film's tone, Neeson has formerly voiced strong support for vaccines in his capacity as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

Previously, he described vaccines as "an incredible achievement," adding that "The discourse about vaccines in lately has forgotten how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in history."

The film concludes with Neeson's voice saying, "This marks not the finish of our story. This is the dawn of a fresh chapter."
