Liam Neeson has recently narrated an anti-vaccination documentary titled Plague of Corruption: 80 Years of Pharmaceutical Corruption Exposed. This film promotes scientifically debunked vaccine claims and other unproven theories. The announcement was initially made via the Important Context newsletter and confirmed through a YouTube clip featuring Neeson’s voice.
Liam Neeson’s Controversial Involvement
In the documentary, Neeson describes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as the “worst health crisis since HIV and AIDS.” The film draws its narrative from work by Dr. Judy Mikovits, a controversial figure known for her discredited theories surrounding vaccines. Her claims have fueled the anti-vaccination movement, particularly led by Robert F. Kennedy, who challenges the U.S. healthcare system.
Current Context of Vaccination in the U.S.
- 1,900 confirmed measles cases have been reported in the U.S. as of today.
- Concerns grow regarding the resurgence of previously controlled diseases due to vaccine skepticism.
Neeson’s involvement in this project has raised eyebrows, especially given his longstanding role as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador since 2011. His representatives clarified that he has no anti-vaccination stance and that he did not influence the film’s editorial content. They emphasized his commitment to global health initiatives.
Contrasting Views on Vaccines
In 2022, Neeson vocalized strong support for vaccines, highlighting their successes in eradicating diseases like smallpox and polio. He praised the collective achievement of global immunization efforts over the past 75 years. “Vaccines are a remarkable human success story,” he stated, underlining their role in safeguarding public health.
Documentary Claims
In the documentary, Neeson refers to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines as “dangerous experiments” and labels mainstream scientists as “fanatics.” This stance contradicts his previous endorsements of vaccination, raising questions about the integrity of his participation in the project.
As of December 2025, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in approximately 7.1 million confirmed deaths globally. The documentary’s claims have been met with skepticism from public health experts and media outlets.
The film primarily emphasizes discredited narratives, such as the false association between vaccines and autism. This perspective seeks to exploit parental anxieties and allegations regarding the safety of vaccinations.
Liam Neeson’s participation in such a project is unexpected, given his established advocacy for immunization. The divergence between his past statements and current involvement has prompted significant discussion regarding the portrayal of vaccines in the public sphere.
