We were defeated in the sense that the very idea of fighting covid became a political hot button and a huge percentage of the US population decided not to fight.

Yes, it could have been worse, maybe we could have had utter collapse. But hospitals did get overrun multiple times and many people died completely unnecessarily because we stopped fighting. I really wouldn't call this a win; covid is now endemic and continuing to evolve inside us. At best this is a bloody stalemate.
