Performer Rejects Anti-Vaxxer Views Following Voicing Contentious Coronavirus Feature

Liam Neeson has lent his voice to a recent film that challenges the efficacy of vaccines and lauds ex- cabinet secretary the political figure.

The Documentary's Provocative Foundation

Titled "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is based on a well-known publication written by a disgraced researcher, who rose to infamy during the global outbreak for claims that the virus was a result of a bad strain of the flu vaccine.

Her co-author, a producer, has also written books with controversial radio host the Infowars host. Heckenlively recently posted celebrating Neeson's involvement in the documentary.

An Unequivocal Rebuttal

A spokesperson for Neeson have issued a response strongly denying claims that he subscribes to anti-vax sentiments.

"Many recognize that corruption might be present within the medical sector, but that should never be equated to being against vaccines," the statement states. "Neeson is not, and remains not, against vaccines. His extensive work with Unicef reinforces his long-held support for public-health initiatives."

It noted that the performer had no hand in the documentary's narrative and that inquiries about its content are best addressed to the filmmakers.

Major Assertions In the Documentary

As presented, the voiceover provided by Neeson makes several controversial points:

• It claims that pro-vaccine voices have demanded "complete compliance" to public institutions.
• It argues that "research has become deeply politicized."
• Robert F Kennedy Jr is shown saying, "The big problem with vaccines is that they just aren't adequately tested."
• The film takes aim at pandemic restrictions, claiming they caused psychological harm that cost thousands of lives.
• On the topic of the immunizations, it cites a perspective that they were "hurriedly approved" and seen as "risky trials."

Previous Context and Current Issues

The documentary further cites a past television report about HIV drug testing on children, which was subsequently the topic of a BBC apology by the corporation for editorial breaches.

Recently, Kennedy directed the CDC to change its long-held position that there is no causal relationship between immunizations and autism. This claim is echoed in the documentary, even with a recent study from the WHO reiterating no such link has been found.

A Previous Statement of Advocacy

Contrasting the documentary's message, Neeson has formerly voiced 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 debate about vaccines in the past few years has forgotten how much positive impact they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in history."

The film finishes with Neeson's voice stating, "This is not the conclusion of our narrative. Rather, it is the dawn of a different phase."
