Performer Rejects Anti-Vaccine Position After Narrating Disputed Coronavirus Documentary

The "Taken" star has given his narration to a new documentary that questions the legitimacy of vaccinations and lauds one-time health official Robert F Kennedy Jr.

The Feature's Contentious Origins

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the project is based on a well-known publication co-authored by a disgraced researcher, who rose to infamy during the global outbreak for allegations that the illness was a result of a faulty batch of the influenza shot.

The publication's collaborator, Kent Heckenlively, has also written books with controversial media personality Alex Jones. He recently posted praising Neeson's involvement in the film.

A Firm Statement

Representatives for Neeson have released a comment strongly denying suggestions that he supports anti-vax sentiments.

"Many recognize that corruption can exist within the medical sector, but that should never be equated to opposition to vaccines," the response states. "He has never been, and cannot be described as, against vaccines. His long work with Unicef highlights his consistent support for worldwide vaccination initiatives."

The statement continued that the actor did not shape the film's narrative and that inquiries about its claims should be directed to the producers.

Central Assertions In the Feature

According to the documentary, the script provided by Neeson makes several provocative statements:

• It states that pro-immunization voices have called for "complete compliance" to public institutions.
• It argues that "medical science has become highly politicised."
• Robert F Kennedy Jr is interviewed stating, "The big problem with vaccines is that they are not adequately tested."
• The film further attacks pandemic restrictions, arguing they caused psychological harm that cost thousands of lives.
• Concerning pandemic shots, it mentions a report that they were "hurriedly approved" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Past Background and Current Issues

The film also references a historical film about clinical trials on children, which was subsequently the topic of a correction by the corporation for violations of guidelines.

In recent weeks, RFK Jr instructed the national health agency to change its longstanding position that there is no causal relationship between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder. This assertion is repeated in the documentary, even with a new report from the global health body confirming no evidence has been found.

A Past Record of Advocacy

Contrasting the documentary's message, Neeson has previously voiced firm endorsement for vaccines in his role as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

In 2022, he referred to vaccines as "a remarkable achievement," adding that "The debate about vaccines in recent years has lost sight of how much good they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in human history."

The film ends with Neeson's script proclaiming, "This is not the finish of our narrative. It is the start of a different phase."
