I think "politicians" are still very much to blame for the high mortality count, starting with Trump, but not only him.
Along with them come RWM experts steady disinformation to undermine what little sound policy and information there was.
The Woodward tapes show pretty clearly that Trump--still the GOP frontrunner--resisted taking leadership responsibility for
for a national virus response. It wasn't his fault; it was "China's"! He was a shoo in for reelection until the pandemic, etc.
Fauci and others had to work around his obstruction and disinformation.
