As he did at his February town hall , Biden made a number of false or misleading claims. Covid-19 vaccinesCalling on Americans to get vaccinated against Covid-19, Biden said, "If you're vaccinated, you're not going to be hospitalized, you're not going to be in the ICU unit and you're not going to die." White House press secretary Jen Psaki sought to clarify Biden's statement that "you're not going to get Covid if you have these vaccinations." Auto pricesAfter he was asked by a citizen if he is concerned about higher prices, especially inflation in gasoline, automotive and food prices, Biden asserted that "the cost of an automobile, it's kind of back to what it was before the pandemic." His initial goal -- which some observers did indeed greet with skepticism -- was 1 million Covid-19 shots a day, not 1 million shots "a week."
