đŸ”— Share this article Star Rejects Anti-Vax Stance After Lending His Voice To Controversial Coronavirus Feature The acclaimed actor has lent his narration to a recent film that questions the safety of vaccinations and lauds one-time cabinet secretary RFK Jr. The Documentary's Disputed Foundation Titled "Plague of Corruption," the documentary is based on a well-known publication published by a disgraced researcher, who became famous during the pandemic for assertions that Covid was linked to a problematic version of the seasonal immunization. Her collaborator, Kent Heckenlively, has penned books with conspiracy-prone media personality the Infowars host. The producer took to social media celebrating Neeson's role in the film. An Unequivocal Denial The team of the actor have provided a statement pushing back against implications that he supports anti-immunization views. "Many acknowledge that corruption may occur within the pharmaceutical industry, but that must not be equated to rejection of vaccines," the response states. "Neeson is not, and cannot be described as, against vaccines. His considerable work with the global charity reinforces his long-held support for public-health initiatives." The statement noted that the actor was not involved in crafting the film's narrative and that inquiries about its claims are best addressed to the filmmakers. Key Assertions Featured in the Feature According to the documentary, the voiceover spoken by Neeson includes several controversial points: It states that pro-vaccine voices have insisted on "blind obedience" to public institutions. It posits that "science has become highly politicized." Kennedy is featured saying, "The core flaw with vaccines is that they simply are not adequately tested." The film also criticizes pandemic restrictions, saying they caused psychological harm that led to the loss of thousands of lives. On the topic of Covid vaccines, it cites a perspective that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "dangerous experiments." Historical Controversy and Current Disputes It further cites a historical film about AIDS medication trials on children, which was subsequently the focus of a BBC apology by the broadcaster for unbalanced reporting. Last month, Kennedy directed the CDC to revise its long-held position that there is no connection between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder. This assertion is echoed in the film, contrary to a new report from the WHO confirming no evidence has been found. A Past Record of Endorsement Standing in contrast to the documentary's message, Neeson has in the past voiced clear advocacy for vaccines in his capacity as a charity ambassador. In 2022, he called vaccines as "a remarkable human success story," noting that "The discourse about vaccines in the past few years has forgotten how much positive impact they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest shared accomplishments in history." "Plague of Corruption" concludes with Neeson's narration proclaiming, "This isn't the conclusion of our story. Rather, it is the start of a fresh chapter."
