One of the writers of the sci-fi film I Am Legend has clarified its fictional nature amid rumours Covid-19 vaccines would turn people into zombies.
The 2007 film, starring Will Smith, is about a failed attempt to genetically re-engineer measles to cure cancer, killing 99% of the world's population.
Those who survive the infection turn into mutant vampiric creatures.
Claims that something similar would happen to people receiving Covid jabs have been circulating on social media.

Original novel is based on a virus turning people in vampires and is a huge satire and sociological dive of us vs them mentality. Definitely a quick and easy fun filled read. The movie? It’s ok. Who doesn’t want to drive a mustang down the middle of a desolate and empty New York City street and hunt deer with an M4 in an post apocalyptic New York City?

PO3 Phyllis Maynard: "PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I certainly do not dismiss the impossible. A fairy tale is based on fact." - What "fairy tales" are based on facts? Also I wouldn't put this in the realm of a fairy tale.
