Star Refutes Anti-Vaccine Position Following Lending His Voice To Contentious Pandemic Feature

Liam Neeson has lent his voice to a new documentary that questions the legitimacy of vaccines and praises one-time cabinet secretary RFK Jr.

The Feature's Provocative Origins

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the project is adapted from a bestselling book published by a disgraced researcher, who gained notoriety during the global outbreak for claims that the virus was caused by a problematic version of the seasonal immunization.

The book's co-author, Kent Heckenlively, has also written books with controversial media personality the Infowars host. Heckenlively recently posted hailing Neeson's participation in the project.

A Strong Rebuttal

The team of the actor have provided a comment pushing back against claims that he subscribes to anti-vax views.

"Many understand that corruption can exist within the drug industry, but that should never be conflated with being against vaccines," the comment explains. "Liam never has been, and cannot be described as, anti-vaccination. His long work with the global charity reinforces his consistent support for worldwide vaccination initiatives."

The statement continued that the performer was not involved in crafting the documentary's messaging and that concerns about its claims ought to go to the producers.

Key Themes Within the Film

In the film, the voiceover read by Neeson makes several controversial statements:

• It states that pro-immunization voices have called for "unconditional submission" to public institutions.
• It argues that "science has become deeply politicised."
• Robert F Kennedy Jr is featured stating, "The big problem with vaccines is that they just aren't properly vetted."
• The film further attacks pandemic restrictions, claiming they caused psychological harm that cost thousands of lives.
• Concerning pandemic shots, it references a view that they were "hurriedly approved" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Historical Background and Current Disputes

The film further cites a historical film about AIDS medication trials on children, which was afterwards the subject of a formal apology by the network for violations of guidelines.

Last month, RFK Jr called on the Centers for Disease Control to revise its longstanding position that there is no link between vaccines and autism. This claim is repeated in the documentary, even with a recent study from the World Health Organisation confirming no such link has been found.

A Previous Statement of Advocacy

Differing from the film's tone, Neeson has formerly voiced clear advocacy for vaccines in his capacity as a charity ambassador.

Two years ago, he called vaccines as "an incredible human success story," adding that "The debate about vaccines in lately has lost sight of 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 marks not the finish of our story. This is the beginning of a new chapter."
