The ratio of deaths per reported infections was about 1.5% in January. In September the ratio was about 1.2%. There were several things that could have reduced the death rate including more effective treatments.

Thanks, I was trying to help the thought process of the poster who interpreted more deaths in 2021 as a vaccine failure.
Delta also gave a lot of people immunity the hard way.
Hopefully the new antivirals will be additional help to calm things down.
