Star Denies Anti-Vaccine Stance After Lending His Voice To Disputed Coronavirus Feature

Liam Neeson has lent his narration to a new documentary that casts doubt on the efficacy of vaccinations and praises ex- health official the political figure.

The Feature's Provocative Basis

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is based on a well-known publication co-authored by a disgraced researcher, who rose to infamy during the global outbreak for assertions that the virus was a result of a problematic version of the influenza shot.

The publication's co-author, the executive producer, has penned books with conspiracy-prone figure Alex Jones. He took to social media hailing Neeson's role in the film.

An Unequivocal Statement

The team of the actor have issued a statement firmly refuting suggestions that he holds anti-immunization sentiments.

"We all recognize that corruption may occur within the drug industry, but that cannot be conflated with rejection of vaccines," the statement states. "He never has been, and is not, anti-vaccination. His long work with Unicef underscores his long-held support for worldwide vaccination initiatives."

The statement continued that the star did not shape the project's editorial content and that inquiries about its claims should be directed to the creators.

Key Claims In the Film

As presented, the script spoken by Neeson features several strong statements:

• It suggests that pro-immunization voices have demanded "complete compliance" to public institutions.
• It declares that "science has become dangerously politicized."
• Kennedy is interviewed stating, "The major issue with vaccines is that they simply are not properly vetted."
• The narration further attacks stay-at-home orders, claiming they caused severe distress that led to the loss of thousands of lives.
• Concerning Covid vaccines, it references a perspective that they were "hurriedly approved" and seen as "risky trials."

Past Background and Recent Disputes

The documentary further cites a past television report about clinical trials on children, which was afterwards the topic of a formal apology by the network for unbalanced reporting.

Last month, the political figure instructed the national health agency to change its long-held position that there is no connection between immunizations and autism spectrum disorder. This claim is also referenced in the documentary, contrary to a recent study from the WHO reiterating no evidence has been found.

A Past Position of Endorsement

Contrasting the film's narrative, Neeson has formerly shown clear advocacy for vaccines in his position as a Unicef global ambassador.

In 2022, he called vaccines as "a remarkable human success story," noting that "The debate about vaccines in lately has lost sight of how much benefit they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in history."

The documentary concludes with Neeson's voice stating, "This is not the conclusion of our journey. Rather, it is the beginning of a new chapter."
