Star Denies Anti-Vaxxer Position After Narrating Contentious Coronavirus Documentary
Liam Neeson has given his vocal talents to a recent film that casts doubt on the safety of immunizations and praises ex- government figure the political figure.
The Documentary's Contentious Basis
Titled "Plague of Corruption," the film is adapted from a well-known publication published by Judy Mikovits, who gained notoriety during the global outbreak for allegations that Covid was caused by a problematic version of the flu vaccine.
The book's co-author, the executive producer, has penned books with controversial radio host the Infowars host. The producer took to social media praising Neeson's role in the project.
A Strong Statement
The team of Liam Neeson have issued a comment pushing back against implications that he supports anti-immunization sentiments.
"Everyone can recognize that corruption may occur within the medical sector, but that must not be equated to rejection of vaccines," the statement states. "Liam never has been, and remains not, anti-vax. His extensive work with the UN children's agency underscores his long-held support for global immunisation initiatives."
The response added that the performer was not involved in crafting the film's narrative and that inquiries about its content are best addressed to the filmmakers.
Major Assertions In the Film
As presented, the narration spoken by Neeson makes several controversial claims:
- It suggests that pro-immunization voices have insisted on "unconditional submission" to health authorities.
- It posits that "science has become deeply influenced by politics."
- Robert F Kennedy Jr is featured saying, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they are not adequately tested."
- It takes aim at Covid lockdowns, claiming they caused mental anguish that resulted in thousands of lives.
- Concerning Covid vaccines, it mentions a view that they were "developed too quickly" and seen as "risky trials."
Past Controversy and Current Debates
The documentary also references a 2004 BBC documentary about HIV drug testing on children, which was afterwards the subject of a BBC apology by the network for violations of guidelines.
Recently, RFK Jr directed the Centers for Disease Control to alter its long-held position that there is no link between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder. This assertion is repeated in the film, contrary to a recent study from the World Health Organisation confirming no evidence has been found.
A Previous Statement of Endorsement
Standing in contrast to the documentary's message, Neeson has in the past shown clear advocacy for vaccines in his capacity as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.
Previously, he called vaccines as "a remarkable triumph," noting that "The conversation about vaccines in recent years has forgotten how much benefit they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest shared accomplishments in our history."
The film concludes with Neeson's narration stating, "This marks not the end of our narrative. Rather, it is the beginning of a new chapter."
