No! Lifting mask mandates when a new variant from a highly populated country was emerging was NOT fine. I remember Fauci on TV at the beginning of June saying that he was concerned about the new variant in India and that was around the time that they stopped pushing the mask mandates and states let people who claimed to be vaccinated go mask-free.
Nevermind the fact that the vaccine doesn't stop you from getting the virus, kids under 12 still don't have approval to get the vaccine and everyone is out and about in the hot summer months.
This was handled terribly.
If people had continued to get vaccinated at the same daily rates in May, June and July as had happened in March and April, then the impacts of Delta would have been far less. But, since that didn't happen - to no fault of Biden, then it is what it is. Sadly, the number of GOP dying is disproportionate to the US population. Oh well.
