I liked Liam Neeson but I am done with super rich public figures promoting anti-vaxx bullshit that will have a impact on the lives of so many.
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.

In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

Former Lithuanian Health Minister Aurimas Pečkauskas spent two weeks in a combat zone in Ukraine — working as an anesthesiologist, not a politician. This was his third visit.

He didn't come to give speeches or photo ops.👇
