The Covid bucks were a spark. Biden’s profligate spending poured gasoline on the fire.
No, the draconian lockdown actions of Democrat governors made the Covid bucks a necessity.
While you are correct that the Covid bucks sparked inflation, it was the policies of the Biden administration that gave the spark the fuel needed to create the raging inflation blaze.
Had Trump stayed in office, then his policies would have averted the blaze.
In many ways, it's a blessing that Trump didn't remain in office, because what ensued after the theft of the 2020 election opened the eyes of a lot of people who would have remained clueless about the true state of their government & the corruption that pervades it.
