Has the Covid-19 vaccine led to a new breed of "pandemic babies"being born across the world? Thats what some anti-vaxxers would have you believe. A viral TikTok video shows what some people claim is one of these genetically mutated babies. The Truth or Fake team got to the bottom of a popular online theory worthy of science fiction.

In a video that went viral on TikTok, a newborn baby sits on a bed in what looks like a hospital, with someone next to her supporting her upright. Her big black eyes look around, blinking slowly. Overlaid on the video is a womans commentary, telling us, These pandemic babies are built differently.

Images of this baby have spread on Facebook, Twitter and TikTok, with captions describing her as having hybrid genetics or claiming that an American court has categorised her and babies like her as transhuman. And the cause of the babys genetic mutation? The Covid-19 vaccine.

Anti-vaxxers are claiming that women who received the Covid-19 vaccine when pregnant unintentionally damaged the genetics of their unborn babies, creating a new breed of pandemic babies.

The Truth or Fake team contacted the mother of the child to ask her about the viral video and some of the online claims people have madeabout her daughter. She told us that her daughter has perfectly normal genetics and eyes, and that she was born prematurely, which could explain her slightly underdeveloped appearance. Whats more, her mother hadnt even received the Covid-19 jab when she was pregnant and only receivedit months after giving birth.
