Performer Refutes Anti-Vaxxer Stance Following Lending His Voice To Contentious Covid Documentary

The "Taken" star has given his narration to a new documentary that challenges the legitimacy of vaccines and lauds one-time cabinet secretary the political figure.

The Film's Provocative Foundation

Called "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is based on a bestselling book published by Judy Mikovits, who rose to infamy during the pandemic for claims that the virus was linked to a faulty batch of the flu vaccine.

The book's writing partner, Kent Heckenlively, has previously authored books with conspiracy-prone figure the Infowars host. He recently posted hailing Neeson's involvement in the documentary.

A Strong Statement

A spokesperson for Liam Neeson have released a comment strongly denying claims that he supports anti-vax beliefs.

"We all understand that unethical practices may occur within the pharmaceutical industry, but that should never be conflated with rejection of vaccines," the statement explains. "Liam is not, and is not, against vaccines. His extensive work with the global charity underscores his consistent support for worldwide vaccination initiatives."

It noted that the performer did not shape the film's narrative and that concerns about its assertions ought to go to the creators.

Central Assertions In the Feature

According to the documentary, the voiceover provided by Neeson includes several provocative claims:

• It suggests that pro-immunization voices have called for "unconditional submission" to government bodies.
• It declares that "science has become highly influenced by politics."
• RFK Jr is shown saying, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they just aren't safely tested."
• It further attacks pandemic restrictions, arguing they caused severe distress that cost thousands of lives.
• Regarding Covid vaccines, it references a report that they were "developed too quickly" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Previous Context and Recent Issues

The film also references a 2004 BBC documentary about AIDS medication trials on children, which was afterwards the topic of a BBC apology by the broadcaster for unbalanced reporting.

Recently, the political figure called on the Centers for Disease Control to alter its official position that there is no connection between immunizations and autism spectrum disorder. This supposed link is repeated in the documentary, contrary to a recent study from the global health body confirming no evidence has been found.

An Earlier Record of Endorsement

Contrasting the documentary's message, Neeson has formerly voiced firm endorsement for vaccines in his position as a charity ambassador.

In 2022, he described vaccines as "an incredible achievement," stating that "The conversation about vaccines in the past few years has lost sight of how much positive impact they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest shared accomplishments in our history."

The documentary ends with Neeson's script stating, "This marks not the finish of our story. Rather, it is the dawn of a new chapter."
