Actor Refutes Anti-Vax Position After Voicing Controversial Pandemic Film

The "Taken" star has lent his vocal talents to a new documentary that casts doubt on the efficacy of vaccines and lauds ex- cabinet secretary the political figure.

The Documentary's Contentious Origins

Named "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is inspired by a popular book published by a disgraced researcher, who rose to infamy during the pandemic for assertions that Covid was linked to a problematic version of the influenza shot.

The publication's co-author, a producer, has penned books with far-right figure the Infowars host. He took to social media hailing Neeson's involvement in the documentary.

An Unequivocal Statement

A spokesperson for the actor have issued a statement strongly denying suggestions that he supports anti-vax beliefs.

"Many acknowledge that misconduct can exist within the drug industry, but that must not be confused with rejection of vaccines," the response states. "Neeson has never been, and remains not, against vaccines. His long work with the global charity reinforces his long-held support for public-health initiatives."

It added that the actor did not shape the documentary's narrative and that concerns about its assertions are best addressed to the producers.

Major Assertions In the Documentary

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

• It states that pro-vaccine voices have insisted on "unconditional submission" to health authorities.
• It posits that "medical science has become deeply politicized."
• RFK Jr is featured stating, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they simply are not properly vetted."
• The narration takes aim at pandemic restrictions, saying they caused mental anguish that cost thousands of lives.
• Concerning Covid vaccines, it mentions a view that they were "hurriedly approved" and seen as "hazardous tests."

Previous Context and Current Issues

The film includes a past television report about HIV drug testing on children, which was afterwards the focus of a formal apology by the broadcaster for editorial breaches.

In recent weeks, RFK Jr called on the CDC to revise its longstanding position that there is no causal relationship between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder. This assertion is also referenced in the documentary, even with a recent study from the WHO reiterating no evidence has been found.

A Past Position of Support

Contrasting the documentary's narrative, Neeson has previously shown firm endorsement for vaccines in his role as a charity ambassador.

Previously, he referred to vaccines as "an extraordinary human success story," adding that "The conversation about vaccines in lately has lost sight of how much benefit they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in human history."

"Plague of Corruption" ends with Neeson's script saying, "This isn't the end of our journey. This is the beginning of a different phase."
