# Zombies in 2022: Fact or Fiction?

The year 2022 has seen its share of peculiar theories and concerns, and one of the most intriguing (or perhaps unsettling) is the resurgence of concern about a potential zombie apocalypse. The internet has lit up with speculation, but is there any truth to these claims, or are they just another viral hoax? Let’s dive into the evidence and debunk some of the myths.

## The Rumors

### TikTok and China
In August 2022, TikTok was flooded with theories suggesting that zombies were in China, and some believed a potential doomsday was imminent. This craze stemmed from a misleading article in 2021 that implied China was the epicenter of a future zombie apocalypse. However, a detailed debunking found on the HITC website clarifies that there is no legitimate proof to support these claims [REF]1[/REF].

### The CDC and The Simpsons
One of the more alarming claims suggests that the CDC predicted a zombie outbreak, with the help from an episode of *The Simpsons*. The idea that a vaccine could turn people into zombies based on this vaccine apocalypse was also a significant point of concern. However, official CDC statements have not endorsed any such theories, and *The Simpsons* should probably stay as a work of fiction [REF]4[/REF].

## Evidence of Zombie Concept

### Zombies in Media
The fascination with zombies in 2022 seems partly due to media releases and events. For example, theories about zombies appearing in the *Modern Warfare 2* video game or the release of Zombie-themed media are common discussion points but are primarily hypothetical [REF]5[/REF].

### Zombie Awareness Month
May is designated as Zombie Awareness Month. While it’s a humorous concept to raise awareness about consumerism, it also shows the cultural interest in the zombie phenomenon year-round [REF]3[/REF].

## What Happens in 2022?

2022 saw the release of the Korean series “All of Us Are Dead” on Netflix. This series, adapted from the webtoon “Now at Our School,” captured audiences worldwide with its zombie-related storyline. Highlighting another instance of society’s growing interest in how we perceive and portray the undead phenomena on screen [REF]6[/REF].

## Conclusion

While it’s easy to fall into the rabbit hole of conspiracy and superstition, it’s essential to separate fiction from reality. The zombie apocalypse in 2022 is more a figment of our collective imagination, spurred by pop culture and viral content. For now, there’s no credible evidence to suggest that zombies are roaming the streets or that we are at imminent risk of an undead uprising. Although it’s fun to entertain the idea, remember to stay grounded in reality.
