Vilifying someone for pointing out that fact - for it is a fact - is more than a little hypocritical.
Fight fire with fire, you respond to the stone as its cast. Response is not causation.
Otherwise they just keep throwing stones.
There are many other causes of death and disease, the effective and scientifically-based response to which is obvious, in isolation. However, nothing happens in isolation from the real world.
A far greater cost is being paid to save a life potentially lost to this virus than is paid to save a life potentially lost to other causes. That's not an outcome driven by statistics and science and logic.
Now in answer to that, let's look at the USA, a country ravaged by Covid, the direct stimulus injection to keep the country afloat is now up to $6 trillion USD, That's $20,000 USD per person there, in a country thats had few lockdowns and an aggressive vaccination push. Now add to that treatment in a health system of 38 million suffers and 616,000 deaths to date. The loss of productivity from absenteeism alone could run into billions, if not trillions. So there is much much more than lock down kills a few businesses and causes mental anguish. Australia has got away with less than $10k per person needed in stimulus to keep the economy healthy. The health care system has had minimal penalty and absenteeism is fairly low as business is restricted anyway. So the average cost financially when spread across the population is far less in Australia than the US. If you compare to the UK we are so far ahead its just not funny, the NHS has debts now they will be paying for years and its still adding up, I don't think they even have any idea what its going to cost in the long run, but it sure as hell would be less if they had contained the virus.
