2. that's partially true.
But people don't always control having diabetes. People don't control having cancer. People don't control other forms of immunocompromisation. People don't control being older.
3. I don't think it's an overreaction. You said in 2 that there are vaccines, therapies, masks. These things took a year to get to. If not for the actions in the first year, there'd be many more dead.

Tobacco has killed millions in the US and will keep killing millions in the US for the foreseeable future... I don't know how you can objectively even begin to justify saying Covid-19is worse... Especially in a world world with multiple highly effective therapies and vaccines
2, Whole heartedly disagree with. Covid has specific health risk factors (Obesity, Diabetes etc) that long term people have a similar level of control over as smoking. People also have direct control over how much risk they want to take; there are vaccines, there are therapies, there are N95 Masks & no one is forcing you to go to a bar/club/sporting-event.
3. I'm not going to attribute to Covid the panic and over-reaction because of its novelty. Just like we don't attribute to the 9/11 terrorists the destabilization of the middle east and hundreds of thousands of deaths.
