I get your point, but there is a huge difference between openly admitting you got duped and fucked up, versus continuing to pat yourself on the back publicly, in interviews, and via social media posts about how well he handled covid.
If it were me, I'd have one rehearsed response about covid, and I'd say nothing else about it. "Covid was bad, the variants are much less dangerous, it's time to get back to normal." Boom. Just acknowledge "covid was a thing, it's over, back to normal." But he can't. He just HAS TO take credit for the vaccines and say that he did a great job.

You're not wrong - but for there to be any sort of mea culpa, he'd have to admit culpability to himself first.
It was easy for me to say, "yep, I was wrong on Operation Warp Speed. Turns out that none of the agencies involved could be trusted." I wasn't the one who is actually responsible for poisoning billions of people. I'm just some rando with an opinion.

Oh yea. 100% will never happen.
