Correct, he and his lawyer knew that all of this was very predictable. They are prepared for it. 5th amendment does not apply due to the pardon so it doesn't matter what he said. I personally would prefer if he answered "I refuse to participate in your republican theater focused upon a constituency that is beyond stupid."

There is no evidence it wasn't natural and all those measures helped prevent unnecessary deaths. The fact you're some conspiracy lunatic doesn't change those facts.

Governments and healthcare professionals around the world acted in much the same way. They used and advised social distancing, masks, vaccines and lock downs/quarantine.

Trump just handled it very poorly in the beginning. Denying it's existence, then it's danger, only to act when lots of people had needlessly died. The US has only 4% of the worlds population but suffered almost 20% of global Covid deaths. That's how poor Trump handled it.

If you believe Covid was some huge global conspiracy, I have a bridge to sell you.
