A 0.2% infection fatality rate when treatment is available is pretty obviously not the only consequence of covid.
We'll hopefully get just about there once enough people are vaccinated, but it doesn't take a genius to realize that the lockdown measures were/are intended to prevent an overload of the healthcare system that both sends the covid IFR skyrocketing and also increases deaths and other health complications from other conditions that can no longer receive timely treatment.
This has been played out enough places that it should be obvious. Those who want to just let that scenario play out (with eyes open or otherwise) are clearly in the minority.

Feel free to substitute the right numbers, but that is the question to be answered. And that same cost/benefit analysis that should be done for any major problem -- opioid, tobacco, alcohol.
