Actor Refutes Anti-Vax Stance After Voicing Disputed Pandemic Documentary

The acclaimed actor has lent his narration to a recent film that casts doubt on the safety of vaccinations and praises former health official Robert F Kennedy Jr.

The Feature's Contentious Foundation

Named "Plague of Corruption," the film is based on a popular book written by a disgraced researcher, who rose to infamy during the health crisis for assertions that Covid was caused by a faulty batch of the seasonal immunization.

The book's collaborator, a producer, has penned books with conspiracy-prone figure a known commentator. The producer took to social media celebrating Neeson's participation in the documentary.

A Firm Statement

A spokesperson for the actor have released a comment pushing back against claims that he supports anti-vaccine beliefs.

"Everyone can understand that misconduct might be present within the medical sector, but that cannot be conflated with being against vaccines," the comment states. "Neeson has never been, and is not, against vaccines. His considerable work with the UN children's agency reinforces his enduring support for worldwide vaccination initiatives."

The statement continued that the performer had no hand in the documentary's editorial content and that questions about its assertions ought to go to the producers.

Key Assertions In the Documentary

As presented, the script provided by Neeson features several strong points:

• It claims that pro-immunization voices have insisted on "complete compliance" to public institutions.
• It declares that "science has become deeply politicised."
• RFK Jr is featured stating, "The major issue with vaccines is that they are not safely tested."
• It takes aim at stay-at-home orders, arguing they caused psychological harm that resulted in thousands of lives.
• On the topic of pandemic shots, it mentions a perspective that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "risky trials."

Past Controversy and Recent Disputes

The documentary includes a historical film about clinical trials on children, which was subsequently the focus of a BBC apology by the network for violations of guidelines.

Last month, RFK Jr called on the national health agency to revise its longstanding position that there is no connection between vaccines and autism. This claim is echoed in the documentary, even with a fresh analysis from the WHO stating no evidence has been found.

An Earlier Position of Endorsement

Standing in contrast to the film's narrative, Neeson has previously expressed clear advocacy for vaccines in his role as a charity ambassador.

Previously, he called vaccines as "a remarkable triumph," adding that "The conversation about vaccines in recent years has overlooked how much benefit they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest shared accomplishments in our history."

The film finishes with Neeson's narration stating, "This marks not the conclusion of our journey. This is the beginning of a different phase."
