You're right. The biggest issue I see them playing is that it was to stop it. These people can't really deal with both the idea that the supposed virus was never meant to be stopped and the idea that the slowdown was only to prevent the impact it would have on the hospitals. If you want to go further, you could also discuss the idea that the hospitalization numbers were also based on the same "data" that "predicted" 2 million dead Americans. They can't handle all that, so I think the most important part is to not let them change that part or it will have a cascading effect that will end up in the history books.
