A Pandemic of Lies

Joe Biden is blaming the unvaccinated as the reason for the high number of reported covid deaths since he took office. He stated that we are in a pandemic of the unvaccinated. If that is truly the case then why were there fewer reported covid deaths in 2020 when the vaccine wasn't available? Since everyone was unvaccinated who is to blame for those deaths? The only pandemic that we are suffering from is the pandemic of lies coming from this administration.
