I don't think anyone is suggesting vaccines are the end all-be-all regarding the pandemic. Vaccines are the first line of defense, with treatments being for those who still manage to get sick. These treatments aren't an alternative to vaccines, they are a complement.

That's like saying seatbelts are an alternative to traffic laws.

Many states and health institutions behave as this was the case.

Many states, such as Spain, are already pretending that COVID does not exist because of their vaccination rollout plan in spite of their rollout plan only recently started vaccinating 40yo with their first dose.
