Share and Follow

Amid swirling rumors, Liam Neeson has addressed speculation that he opposes vaccinations, following his narration of the contentious documentary “Plague of Corruption: 80 Years of Pharmaceutical Corruption Exposed.”

The 73-year-old actor, acclaimed for his role in “Schindler’s List,” provided his voice for the documentary inspired by a book co-written by Judy Mikovits. Mikovits, a former scientist facing disgrace, controversially asserted that Covid-19 stemmed from a faulty flu vaccine and advocated against vaccination.

According to Variety, the film casts doubt on vaccines, promotes debunked scientific theories, and features an interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services, known for his critical stance on vaccines.

Kent Heckenlively, the documentary’s executive producer, who has previously worked alongside far-right commentator Alex Jones, recently took to social media. He playfully referenced Neeson’s role as Aslan in “The Chronicles of Narnia,” stating, “Liam Neeson for the win. Aslan is on our side!”

On Thursday, Neeson’s representative clarified to several media outlets, “We acknowledge that corruption can occur within the pharmaceutical sector, but it should not be mistaken for an anti-vaccine stance.”

‘Liam never has been, and is not, anti-vaccination.’

The statement continued: ‘His extensive work with UNICEF underscores his long-held support for global immunization and public-health initiatives. 

‘He did not shape the film’s editorial content, and any questions about its claims or messaging should be directed to the producers.’

The Daily Mail has reached out to Neeson’s representative for additional comment. 

In the documentary, Neeson’s narration claims that those on the pro-vaccine side demand ‘unconditional submission to our public institutions’ and that ‘science has become dangerously politicized,’ per EW.

Kennedy appears, insisting, per the outlet: ‘The big problem with vaccines is that they just aren’t safely tested.’

He also attacks former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci.

‘He should be in prison,’ Kennedy said in the film, per the outlet. 

Neeson’s narration also criticizes Covid lockdowns.

‘Thousands of lives were lost, not to the virus, but to the mental anguish brought on by these harsh restrictions.’ 

On Covid vaccines, the narration references a report calling them ‘rushed to market’ and ‘dangerous experiments,’ adding that those responsible ‘continue to evade accountability.’

Last month, Kennedy instructed the CDC to revise its long-standing stance that autism isn’t caused by vaccines. 

Despite this, the film’s claims clash with a new World Health Organization report confirming no link between vaccines and autism.

Neeson’s narration urges accountability: ‘We cannot change the past, but we can demand transparency and accountability for the future. We cannot bring back every loved one we lost, but we can honor their memory by seeking and upholding the truth.’

The segment ends with footage of politicians praising Kennedy and Neeson concluding: ‘This is not the end of our story. This is the beginning of a new chapter.’

The actor has previously affirmed his support for vaccines in his role as a UNICEF global ambassador, calling them ‘a remarkable human success story’ in 2022. 

‘The conversation about vaccines in recent years has lost sight of how much good they have done for each of us. We need to celebrate this. It is perhaps one of the biggest collective achievements in human history.’

 Meanwhile, Pamela Anderson has opened up about her brief romance with Neeson.

The 58-year-old actress revealed they had a ‘romantic week’ together at Neeson’s sprawling upstate New York mansion after filming the Naked Gun reboot. 

‘If you must know, Liam and I were romantically involved for a short while but only after we finished filming,’ she told People, noting she had her own room and that their assistants and family even visited. 

Highlights of their time together included dinner at a tiny French restaurant, where he jokingly introduced her as the ‘future Mrs. Neeson,’ and helping tend an overgrown rosebush in his garden. 

At one point, a bathrobe-clad Neeson had to chase a bear away from his breakfast window. 

Anderson confirmed they are no longer romantically involved but remain friends, with Neeson supportive of her evolving career.
