Actor Rejects Anti-Vaccine Views Following Voicing Contentious Pandemic Documentary

The "Taken" star has given his voice to a recent film that challenges the safety of vaccinations and lauds one-time cabinet secretary RFK Jr.

The Feature's Contentious Basis

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is inspired by a bestselling book published by Judy Mikovits, who became famous during the global outbreak for allegations that the illness was linked to a problematic version of the flu vaccine.

The publication's writing partner, a producer, has previously authored books with controversial radio host Alex Jones. He took to social media celebrating Neeson's role in the documentary.

An Unequivocal Rebuttal

The team of Neeson have issued a response pushing back against claims that he holds anti-vaccine views.

"Many acknowledge that unethical practices can exist within the pharmaceutical industry, but that cannot be confused with opposition to vaccines," the statement explains. "Neeson has never been, and remains not, anti-vax. His considerable work with Unicef underscores his long-held support for global immunisation initiatives."

The response noted that the star was not involved in crafting the documentary's messaging and that inquiries about its assertions ought to go to the producers.

Key Claims Featured in the Feature

According to the documentary, the voiceover provided by Neeson makes several strong statements:

• It suggests that pro-vaccine voices have demanded "complete compliance" to public institutions.
• It argues that "research has become deeply politicised."
• RFK Jr is interviewed claiming, "The major issue with vaccines is that they simply are not properly vetted."
• The film further attacks stay-at-home orders, arguing they caused psychological harm that led to the loss of thousands of lives.
• Concerning pandemic shots, it mentions a view that they were "developed too quickly" and seen as "risky trials."

Past Background and Current Issues

The documentary includes a past television report about AIDS medication trials on children, which was subsequently the topic of a formal apology by the corporation for violations of guidelines.

Last month, Kennedy instructed the Centers for Disease Control to revise its official position that there is no connection between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder. This assertion is echoed in the documentary, even with a new report from the global health body reiterating no evidence has been found.

A Previous Statement of Advocacy

Differing from the documentary's message, Neeson has in the past shown clear advocacy for vaccines in his role as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

Previously, he described vaccines as "an extraordinary human success story," noting that "The discourse about vaccines in the past few years has lost sight of how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest human endeavors in human history."

The documentary concludes with Neeson's narration proclaiming, "This isn't the conclusion of our story. This is the beginning of a fresh chapter."
