FULL CLAIM: “Remember, in ‘I Am Legend,’ the sickness didn’t make the zombies. Infected people either sickened and died, or turned into Darkseekers, creatures which display many stereotypical traits of zombies in fiction. However, the virus later mutated into a deadlier form and caused a pandemic. Named the Krippin virus, it showed initial success at treating cancer patients. I Am Legend? More like I Am Forgetting Basic Immunology.The virus that created the zombies in the film “I Am Legend” was intended as a cancer cure. However, as an “expert virologist” he should understand the basics of vaccine development and realise he has wasted three years of resources on something medically impossible. Working to find a cure may keep Neville busy enough to remain sane in his post-apocalyptic world. In reality, if Neville wants to create a cure for Krippin Virus he should start with Darkseeker blood and work to develop a weakened form of the virus that could be used as an immunological trigger. This means he won’t have Krippin antibodies in his blood. To produce a vaccine from someone’s blood a person needs to have the correct antibodies in their system, which know how to fight the infection.īecause Neville is naturally immune to the virus thanks to his genetic mutation, he will never have had an immune response to the virus.
