Corrected entry: At the end he says that 1% of people are immune. That is 1% of 6 billion, and that is 60 million, not 12 million.

I Am Legend (2007)
Corrected entry: If pretty much everyone but Neville and a few colonies of survivors are dead, who is running the power plants so that he can have electricity in his house? And where does he get gas for his vehicles? Okay, he could siphon it out of other cars, but even that would start to run out after awhile. He does a lot of driving around.
Correction: There is a pretty clear shot in the movie that shows him having several generators in his house that are powering everything. And petrol is *everywhere*. Other cars, transport tankers, the tanks underneath gas stations etc. He even has access to a naval base, where there would be many fuel stores. The film also takes place in 2012, by which time there could have been advances in fuel efficiency, in terms of more efficient engines, or fuel additives.

I Am Legend (2007)
Corrected entry: In the movie, the medicine to cure the virus is called a vaccine. But vaccines can not cure someone who already has a virus: they can only cure someone if administered before the symptoms occur.
Correction: This is representative of Neville's state of mind. He failed to make a working vaccine back when a vaccine would've done some good (before the virus had dominated the planet and there were still people who could be administered with it). His mind is stuck on this failure and he can't rest until he makes up for it, so he repeatedly refers to it as a vaccine due to being stuck in the past.

Correction: The actual line in the movie is "...LESS than 1% immunity", not exactly 1 percent. He's making a point of how small the level of immunity was, not making an accurate statistical analysis.
