1) Well, here's one attempt at figuring out how effective "lockdowns" are, judging US states against each other in terms of what limits they take early on and what restrictions they lift later on. It's pretty clear from the data that the states that took the swiftest action the earliest on ended up doing better.
2) Yes, lockdowns have their side effects; but when the choices are a couple thousand developing mental problems and letting the virus run wild and infect most of the population and killing millions (at the moment, according to the latest figures, 2% of all people to develop COVID have died of it, and that's going to be lead to the deaths of a bit less than 6 million in the US alone), the vast majority of governments know what option to take. And as for the economy, well, Brazil took a very laissez-faire attitude towards the virus, and how did that effect the economy? Very poorly. And, yes, there have been pandemics that have been over-hyped to seem worse than they actually were (like, say, the Swine Flu fiasco from the 1970s or the H1N1 pandemic in 2009). This ain't one of them.
3) And as we all know, there's no way to take Vitamin D outside of sunlight. It's not like there's dozens of vitamin supplement makers who manufacture pills that can give people all the Vitamin D they need and then some.
4) No, they're not. As far as I can tell, the only nation that actually had laws against lockdowns prior to the pandemic is Sweden. And it turns out that when the time came to evaluate its effects, it wound up leaving a lot to be desired.
5) If the governments mix their messages and act counter to the best medical practices, that's their problem.
