Why was no one warning about inflation during the pandemic with the shutdowns and bailouts?

When the pandemic hit it seems the ones who warned about excessive shutdowns hurting the economy were being named “conservatives” , “unempathetic” , “privileged”. We are just now starting to see the effects of the economic policies that have been enacted since the past few years. A lot of people are now upset about inflation, but not a lot of people were upset during the beginning of the pandemic when those in control took certain measures.

I personally doubt the government/ Federal Reserve is going to be able to do anything to lower inflation in near future. The cost of food, gas, rent, cars, electronics, homes, and electricity will hardly go back to “normal”
