Liam Neeson is distancing himself from claims he’s anti-vaccine after narrating a controversial, new documentary, Plague of Corruption.
The documentary is believed to promote debunked COVID theories and prominently feature Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now Donald Trump’s health and human services secretary.
The film is based on a book by Judy Mikovits, the discredited ex-scientist who falsely claimed COVID came from a flu vaccine and urged people to avoid vaccination.
It is executive-produced by her co-author, Kent Heckenlively, known for collaborating with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Director Michael Mazzola has also previously worked on UFO-focused projects.
However, Neeson’s rep said the actor’s participation should not be seen as an endorsement of the film’s claims. “Liam never has been, and is not, anti-vaccination,” they said.
They also noted the actor’s long history with UNICEF and stressed he had no role in shaping the documentary’s content.
In the film, Neeson’s narration criticises lockdowns, questions vaccine politics, and repeats claims that vaccines were rushed and poorly tested.
The documentary also pushes long-discredited ideas linking vaccines to autism.
Kennedy appears throughout, attacking vaccine safety rules and Anthony Fauci.
