Too many dollars are chasing too few goods because of supply chain issues caused by these governments locking everyone down when they overreacted. You can't reduce inflation this way except by affecting tens of millions of innocent people who now have austerity measures imposed on them from on high courtesy of Janet Yellen and her posse.
They should have avoided the steep lockdowns and given cash directly to households instead of the giant infusion/bailout to failing states and companies that didn't even need the money.
