🔗 Share this article Actor Rejects Anti-Vaxxer Position After Narrating Contentious Pandemic Feature Liam Neeson has provided his voice to a recent film that questions the efficacy of vaccinations and praises one-time government figure RFK Jr. The Documentary's Disputed Basis Titled "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is adapted from a well-known publication published by Judy Mikovits, who gained notoriety during the health crisis for assertions that the virus was linked to a bad strain of the influenza shot. Her collaborator, the executive producer, has also written books with conspiracy-prone media personality a known commentator. Heckenlively wrote online hailing Neeson's involvement in the documentary. A Firm Statement The team of the actor have issued a comment pushing back against claims that he supports anti-vax beliefs. "Everyone can acknowledge that unethical practices might be present within the pharmaceutical industry, but that must not be confused with rejection of vaccines," the comment explains. "He never has been, and is not, against vaccines. His long work with the UN children's agency reinforces his consistent support for global immunisation initiatives." The response continued that the actor had no hand in the film's editorial content and that inquiries about its content ought to go to the producers. Key Assertions In the Documentary In the film, the script provided by Neeson features several controversial claims: It claims that pro-vaccine voices have demanded "complete compliance" to public institutions. It declares that "medical science has become highly politicised." Kennedy is interviewed stating, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they simply are not adequately tested." The narration further attacks stay-at-home orders, arguing they caused mental anguish that cost thousands of lives. On the topic of Covid vaccines, it references a perspective that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "dangerous experiments." Past Context and Ongoing Disputes The film further cites a historical film about clinical trials on children, which was later the focus of a BBC apology by the network for violations of guidelines. Last month, Kennedy called on the Centers for Disease Control to alter its official position that there is no causal relationship between vaccines and autism. This claim is also referenced in the film, contrary to a recent study from the WHO confirming no connection has been found. An Earlier Position of Support Contrasting the film's narrative, Neeson has formerly voiced clear advocacy for vaccines in his position as a charity ambassador. Previously, he called vaccines as "an incredible human success story," noting that "The discourse about vaccines in the past few years has forgotten how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest shared accomplishments in our history." The film concludes with Neeson's voice saying, "This isn't the conclusion of our story. It is the start of a new chapter."
