===Vaccine Efficacy===
During a CNN town hall in July 2021, President Joe Biden claimed that "You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations." He also claimed that "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". These claims were false.<ref>[https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-if-vaccinated-wont-get-covid/ Did Biden Say You Won't Get COVID if You're Vaccinated?], ''Snopes'', Nov 8, 2021</ref> The initial clinical trials showed no reduction in deaths<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFph7-6t34M&t=15546s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee – 9/17/2021], ''U.S. Food and Drug Administration'', Sept 17, 2021</ref> and in March 2022, an average of 261 fully vaccinated people died of COVID each week according to [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|CDC]] data.<ref>[https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-to-compare-covid-deaths-for-vaccinated-and-unvaccinated-people/ How to Compare COVID Deaths for Vaccinated and Unvaccinated People], ''Scientific America'', June 7, 2022</ref>

===Hospitalizations===
False COVID-19 hospitalization numbers were reported by the CDC and amplified by the U.S. media. Rather than reporting the number of people hospitalized for COVID-19, they reported numbers of all people hospitalized for any reason that tested positive for COVID-19, even if they were asymptomatic.<ref>[https://news.yahoo.com/defining-covid-hospitalization-numbers-235039871.html Defining Covid hospitalization numbers], ''yahoo News'', Jan 9, 2022</ref>
