Liam Neeson finds himself in a tight spot, trying to distance himself from allegations of being anti-vaccine following his narration of the controversial new documentary, "Plague of Corruption." The film, believed to promote debunked COVID theories, features prominently Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now serving as Donald Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary. The documentary is based on a book by Judy Mikovits, a discredited ex-scientist who falsely claimed that COVID originated from a flu vaccine and urged people to avoid vaccination.
Executive produced by her co-author, Kent Heckenlively, known for his collaboration with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, the film is also directed by Michael Mazzola who has previously worked on UFO-focused projects. Despite this, Neeson's representatives assert that the actor's participation should not be construed as an endorsement of the film's claims. "Liam has never been and is not anti-vaccination," they emphasize, highlighting his long history with UNICEF and stressing that he had no role in shaping the documentary's content.
In the film, Neeson's narration criticizes lockdowns, questions vaccine politics, and repeats claims that vaccines were rushed and poorly tested. The documentary also perpetuates long-discredited ideas linking vaccines to autism. Kennedy appears throughout the film, attacking vaccine safety rules and Anthony Fauci.
