Star Denies Anti-Vaxxer Views Following Voicing Contentious Pandemic Feature

The acclaimed actor has provided his voice to a feature-length documentary that challenges the legitimacy of vaccinations and commends former health official Robert F Kennedy Jr.

The Film's Disputed Foundation

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the film is inspired by a popular book co-authored by Judy Mikovits, who gained notoriety during the pandemic for assertions that the illness was linked to a faulty batch of the flu vaccine.

Her co-author, Kent Heckenlively, has also written books with controversial radio host Alex Jones. Heckenlively recently posted praising Neeson's participation in the documentary.

A Firm Rebuttal

Representatives for Neeson have provided a comment strongly denying implications that he holds anti-vax views.

"Many acknowledge that corruption might be present within the pharmaceutical industry, but that must not be equated to opposition to vaccines," the response explains. "Neeson is not, and cannot be described as, anti-vaccination. His considerable work with the global charity underscores his long-held support for worldwide vaccination initiatives."

The response noted that the performer was not involved in crafting the project's editorial content and that questions about its assertions should be directed to the creators.

Key Claims In the Film

According to the documentary, the voiceover spoken by Neeson includes several provocative points:

• It states that pro-immunization voices have insisted on "unconditional submission" to public institutions.
• It declares that "science has become deeply politicised."
• Robert F Kennedy Jr is featured saying, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they just aren't adequately tested."
• It also criticizes pandemic restrictions, claiming they caused psychological harm that resulted in thousands of lives.
• On the topic of pandemic shots, it mentions a report that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "risky trials."

Previous Controversy and Current Disputes

The film further cites a historical film about HIV drug testing on children, which was afterwards the subject of a correction by the network for editorial breaches.

Recently, Kennedy called on the CDC to change its long-held position that there is no link between vaccines and autism. This assertion is repeated in the film, despite a fresh analysis from the WHO stating no such link has been found.

An Earlier Record of Endorsement

Contrasting the film's message, Neeson has previously shown strong support for vaccines in his position as a charity ambassador.

Two years ago, he called vaccines as "an incredible human success story," noting that "The discourse 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."

"Plague of Corruption" finishes with Neeson's script stating, "This isn't the conclusion of our story. This is the dawn of a different phase."
