This is completely incorrect. Like, actually 100% wrong. Not normal speed, not overridden with opposite yoke.
For anyone placing blame primarily on crew actions, do you really think that a dozen or so of those incidents under Boeing's original design and with their original generous system description would have left any airline without high risk of the exact same result? It's fine now but Boeing destroyed its reputation with their design of that single point failure system and how they handled it after the first crash.
