> The most common form of inflation is due to an increasing money supply

Not really. The money supply only affects inflation in that it increases demand for some things quicker than supply can meet demand. In that regard, untargeted stimulus money did that. Let's not forget though that there is also significant supply disruptions with covid, the war in Ukraine... There's also strong supply-side factors to the inflation we're experiencing.
