One of the writers of the film ‘I Am Legend’ has commented on the reality of the rumor mill about the Covid-19 vaccine that it will transform people into zombies.

"One employee said he was worried because he thought the coverage caused the actors of the film I Am Legend to turn into a zombie," the report said.
Responding to the article, 59-year-old Akiva Goldsman, who wrote the play based on a 1954 storybook with the same name, wrote on Twitter: "My God. It's a movie. I just made it. It's not true.
It's not real. "Publications and comments from some people cite the film as a reason for their refusal to get vaccinated against Covid have been seen on social media for months, with some claiming by Facebook to be misleading.
One image with the description that in a film, the vaccine causes human beings to change and become zombies, something that represents what is not the reality of the film.
