<p>President Biden made a significant numerical error twice on Friday, claiming that 350 million Americans have been vaccinated, tens of millions more people than the entire U.S. population.</p>
<p>&#8220;So we have to get more people vaccinated. I said, well over — what&#8217;s the number again, I have to remind myself — 350 million Americans have already been vaccinated. They&#8217;re doing fine,&#8221; Biden said at the White House during remarks about the July jobs report.</p>
<p>Biden repeated the claim at another point during his remarks.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have roughly 350 million people vaccinated in the United States, and billions around the world,&#8221; the president said.</p>
<p>Biden&#8217;s claim of 350 million vaccinated is 20 million people higher than the country&#8217;s whole population, which hit 330 million last year, <a href="https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2020/07/census-bureau-estimates-united-states-population-reached-330-million-today.html">according</a> to the Census Bureau.</p>
<p>Biden may have intended to refer to the number of vaccine doses administered, which is closer to the number he stated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.html">says</a> on its website that 348.9 million vaccine doses have been administered as of Thursday.</p>
<p>The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines each require recipients to receive two doses per person. The Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine is administered in only one dose.</p>
<p>Half of the U.S. population has been fully vaccinated against Covid-19, White House Data Director Dr. Cyrus Shahpar <a href="https://twitter.com/cyrusshahpar46/status/1423672990009413633">said</a> Friday.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>There are only 328 million people in the United States. <a href="https://t.co/mdJ2VRCp8c">pic.twitter.com/mdJ2VRCp8c</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) <a href="https://twitter.com/CalebJHull/status/1423671168020660224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 6, 2021</a></p></blockquote>
<p>As of Thursday, the CDC said that about 193.2 million people have received at least one dose of vaccine, and about 165.6 million people are fully vaccinated.</p>
<p>Over the last seven days, 699,261 shots have been administered each day, a nearly 14% increase from the previous week but still down from a peak in April of more than 3 million jabs administered each day.</p>
<p>The first coronavirus vaccine dose was administered nine months ago on on December 14.</p>
<p>Biden has recently made several other unscripted comments that the White House has subsequently had to clarify.</p>
<p>Last month, the president told reporters that Facebook was &#8220;killing people&#8221; by allowing misinformation about vaccines to proliferate on its platform.</p>
<p>Biden later backtracked, saying that Facebook “isn’t killing people.”</p>
<p>“My hope is that Facebook, instead of taking it personally — that somehow I’m saying Facebook is killing people — that they would do something about the misinformation, the outrageous information about the vaccine. That’s what I meant,” Biden said.</p>
<p>In June, Biden joked that he was “going to get in trouble with my staff” when he took a question from a reporter that was not on his initial list of journalists, sparking concerns about how much control his staff leveraged over his interactions with the press.</p>
<p>This week, Biden reprimanded Republican governors who are resistant to mask mandates and rules requiring people to be vaccinated in order to participate in certain activities.</p>
<p>“If you’re not going to help, at least get out of the way of people trying to do the right thing,” Biden said.</p>
<p>Biden has also expressed his support for New York City&#8217;s new rules requiring people to be vaccinated in order to go to the gym or dine indoors.</p>
