Star Rejects Anti-Vax Position Following Lending His Voice To Controversial Coronavirus Film
The "Taken" star has lent his narration to a recent film that casts doubt on the safety of vaccinations and commends former health official RFK Jr.
The Documentary's Provocative Basis
Titled "Plague of Corruption," the film is based on a popular book co-authored by a controversial scientist, who became famous during the health crisis for assertions that Covid was caused by a problematic version of the seasonal immunization.
The publication's collaborator, Kent Heckenlively, has penned books with controversial figure Alex Jones. Heckenlively took to social media praising Neeson's participation in the documentary.
A Strong Denial
A spokesperson for Neeson have issued a comment firmly refuting suggestions that he subscribes to anti-immunization views.
"Everyone can recognize that corruption can exist within the medical sector, but that cannot be equated to rejection of vaccines," the statement explains. "Neeson has never been, and remains not, anti-vaccination. His long work with the global charity reinforces his long-held support for worldwide vaccination initiatives."
The response added that the performer had no hand in the project's editorial content and that inquiries about its content are best addressed to the producers.
Central Themes Within the Documentary
As presented, the script provided by Neeson features several strong statements:
- It states that pro-vaccine voices have demanded "complete compliance" to health authorities.
- It argues that "science has become highly influenced by politics."
- Kennedy is shown saying, "The big problem with vaccines is that they simply are not properly vetted."
- The narration also criticizes stay-at-home orders, claiming they caused psychological harm that led to the loss of thousands of lives.
- Concerning pandemic shots, it mentions a perspective that they were "rushed to market" and seen as "risky trials."
Previous Background and Current Disputes
The film further cites a past television report about AIDS medication trials on children, which was subsequently the focus of a BBC apology by the corporation for violations of guidelines.
Recently, Kennedy directed the Centers for Disease Control to revise its official position that there is no causal relationship between immunizations and autism. This assertion is repeated in the documentary, contrary to a fresh analysis from the WHO confirming no such link has been found.
A Previous Statement of Endorsement
Differing from the film's tone, Neeson has previously shown strong support for vaccines in his role as a Unicef global ambassador.
Previously, he called vaccines as "an incredible human success story," adding that "The discourse about vaccines in lately has forgotten how much positive impact they have done... It is perhaps one of the biggest shared accomplishments in history."
The film ends with Neeson's voice saying, "This marks not the conclusion of our journey. Rather, it is the beginning of a new chapter."
