đź”— Share this article Performer Refutes Anti-Vaxxer Position After Lending His Voice To Controversial Covid Film The "Taken" star has given his vocal talents to a feature-length documentary that casts doubt on the efficacy of vaccines and lauds former government figure RFK Jr. The Film's Provocative Basis Titled "Plague of Corruption," the project is inspired by a popular book published 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 previously authored books with controversial radio host Alex Jones. Heckenlively recently posted celebrating Neeson's involvement in the project. An Unequivocal Denial A spokesperson for the actor have issued a response strongly denying claims that he holds anti-vax beliefs. "Many recognize that misconduct may occur within the pharmaceutical industry, but that must not be equated to rejection of vaccines," the statement reads. "Neeson is not, and cannot be described as, anti-vaccination. His extensive work with Unicef highlights his consistent support for public-health initiatives." The statement continued that the performer did not shape the film's editorial content and that inquiries about its claims should be directed to the filmmakers. Major Themes Within the Feature As presented, the narration read by Neeson features several strong claims: It claims that pro-immunization voices have insisted on "complete compliance" to government bodies. It argues that "medical science has become dangerously influenced by politics." Kennedy is featured claiming, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they simply are not properly vetted." The narration takes aim at stay-at-home orders, claiming they caused severe distress that cost thousands of lives. Regarding Covid vaccines, it cites a perspective that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "hazardous tests." Past Context and Ongoing Debates The documentary further cites a historical film about clinical trials on children, which was subsequently the topic of a formal apology by the corporation for editorial breaches. In recent weeks, the political figure directed the national health agency to revise its official position that there is no causal relationship between immunizations and autism spectrum disorder. This assertion is also referenced in the film, despite a recent study from the WHO confirming no evidence has been found. A Past Position of Endorsement Contrasting the documentary's tone, Neeson has in the past voiced strong support for vaccines in his capacity as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Two years ago, he referred to vaccines as "a remarkable human success story," adding that "The debate about vaccines in recent years has overlooked how much positive impact they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in our history." "Plague of Corruption" finishes with Neeson's voice stating, "This is not the finish of our journey. Rather, it is the beginning of a different phase."
