From B2: I know this won't be popular but saying "Biden beat the pandemic in 4 months on the job" is not a completely true statement.

It essentially ignores any work or progress that was made in the 8 months before he took office.
I'm not giving ANY credit to Trump for any of it - but, for instance, I was fully vaccinated before Biden took office. So - to say that he's beat it in these 4 months is a bit of an overstatement.
Would we be where we are if Trump were still in office? No, not a chance. But saying it like that seems to suggest that had Biden been in office when this started, that we'd have been able to have a hot girl summer in 2020 because Uncle Joe would have beaten it in 4 months.
I don't know...he deserves credit, but he did come in on the backs of people that were working around the clock for many months before he took office and to ignore that seems like a sleight to those folks.
Maybe I shouldn't backboard this early. lol
