    My comment was meant as a reference related to that quote by Biden, who also now claims to have ended the pandemic. This is a rather bold claim, considering how the WHO has said that the pandemic isn’t over, and one country can’t end a pandemic when it’s global by definition. Also, when looking at cumulative COVID deaths by administration, there has been now more under Biden than Trump.

      Okay, in which case the flu pandemic is also not over. (According to the WHO article). And comparing deaths in less than a year (400k) with deaths over three and a half (700k) is a fun way to manipulate statistics

      And, I’m going to watch the Harrisburg speech. Because I can’t find a transcript and I suspect the twitter quote is as bullshit as your COVID one (which is bullshit because if you use quotation marks, you need to quote somebody, not put words in their mouth and take it out of context). I’ll report back in an hour.

      Edit: He did say he ended the pandemic. That is some serious hubris I admit. Not like Trump doesn’t have hubris in spades but you do you.

      Well, duh. Almost 4 years of data vs 1?
