Liam Neeson Narrates Controversial Anti-Vaxx Documentary
Liam Neeson narrated a film promoting discredited vaccine skepticism while denying anti-vaccine beliefs amid criticism and highlighting his prior public support for immunization.
- On Thursday, Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated the new documentary Plague of Corruption: 80 Years of Pharmaceutical Corruption Exposed, while his representatives said he 'never has been, and is not, anti-vaccination.'
- Adapted from a 2021 book by Kent Heckenlively and Judy Mikovits, the film was published by Children's Health Defense and produced by Amigo Film Studios, directed by Michael Mazzola.
- In the film, Neeson's narration repeats long-debunked claims and reexamines the XMRV episode and Judy Mikovits' 2009 paper while framing mRNA COVID-19 vaccines as rushed and criticizing emergency COVID-19 lockdowns.
- Critics on social media immediately condemned Neeson’s participation, calling it 'unconscionable,' while Professor Dorit Reiss urged him not to promote anti-science views and Neeson’s publicist later clarified opposition to vaccines isn’t corruption.
- Public-Health observers warn the film's messaging comes amid leadership changes at HHS, where Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s tenure coincides with policy shifts and vaccine-preventable deaths in the hundreds of thousands.
