Star Denies Anti-Vax Position Following Lending His Voice To Controversial Covid Documentary

The "Taken" star has lent his vocal talents to a new documentary that questions the legitimacy of immunizations and praises ex- government figure Robert F Kennedy Jr.

The Documentary's Provocative Foundation

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is adapted from a popular book written by a controversial scientist, who became famous during the global outbreak for assertions that Covid was a result of a bad strain of the flu vaccine.

The book's collaborator, Kent Heckenlively, has previously authored books with far-right media personality a known commentator. He wrote online celebrating Neeson's participation in the documentary.

A Strong Denial

The team of Liam Neeson have released a response firmly refuting implications that he supports anti-immunization views.

"Many recognize that corruption can exist within the medical sector, but that must not be confused with being against vaccines," the comment states. "He has never been, and cannot be described as, anti-vax. His considerable work with the global charity underscores his consistent support for global immunisation initiatives."

It noted that the star had no hand in the documentary's messaging and that inquiries about its content ought to go to the filmmakers.

Central Assertions In the Feature

In the film, the script spoken by Neeson features several provocative claims:

• It suggests that pro-immunization voices have demanded "unconditional submission" to government bodies.
• It posits that "medical science has become deeply politicized."
• Kennedy is shown saying, "The major issue with vaccines is that they are not adequately tested."
• It also criticizes stay-at-home orders, saying they caused severe distress that led to the loss of thousands of lives.
• Concerning Covid vaccines, it references a perspective that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Past Context and Current Debates

The documentary includes a past television report about AIDS medication trials on children, which was subsequently the topic of a correction by the corporation for unbalanced reporting.

Last month, RFK Jr directed the national health agency to change its long-held position that there is no connection between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder. This assertion is also referenced in the film, contrary to a recent study from the World Health Organisation reiterating no connection has been found.

A Past Statement of Support

Contrasting the film's message, Neeson has formerly expressed clear advocacy for vaccines in his capacity as a Unicef global ambassador.

In 2022, he referred to vaccines as "an extraordinary triumph," stating that "The conversation about vaccines in the past few years has lost sight of how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in history."

The film concludes with Neeson's voice stating, "This is not the end of our story. Rather, it is the beginning of a fresh chapter."
