Was vaccination ever the only option for treatment of COVID-19?
In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, a consensus was formed in the mainstream medical and bureaucratic community that no medicinal treatment of the disease was available and the only avenue open to medical professionals was supporting patients as best as they can and await the arrival of vaccines that would help get the pandemic under control. Some people who argued otherwise and tied to come up with, and practice alternative treatment protocols were ridiculed, called "crazy conspiracy theorists", denigrated, and so on. Some medical professionals lost who strayed from the herd were also ridiculed, fired, stripped of licenses, threatened with prosecution, objective effectiveness of their treatment methods notwithstanding.
By now we have a drastically different picture. We have Dr Anthony Faucci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases publishing a paper effectively stating that there was little chance, if any, of a virus like SARS-CoV-2 ever being controlled of a vaccine. We have major drug manufacturers working on medicinal treatments for COVID. And we have even the majority of deaths from COVID in the vaccinated individuals in the US. so no, those vaccines don't do all that much to keep you from getting COVID or dying from it.
But was there ever a reason to believe that vaccines were the only hope to avoid getting infected with COVID or experiencing it in a severe, or even lethal, form? Hardly so. Budesonide, a hormone often used to control the COPD, used in the form of a spray, cuts the severity of COVID down by about a quarter. The doctors noticed that early in the pandemic and there are now papers published confirming that. And a nasal wash of the mouth and nasal cavity - yes, just a nasal wash - initiated within the first 24 hours of the onset of COVID symptoms can cut the risk of a severe outcome 8 times!
So no, vaccine is not your only option and never was. As to those who promoted it as such - the task now is to determine whether they did that as part of a deliberate deception or simply out of ignorance or arrogance. Either way, if you still trust the "vaccine cult" you are not acting wisely, or in your own best interest.

I did not trust the vaccine from the very beginning, my friends who were vaccinated felt very bad, then they got sick anyway.
All of them? All of the ones who got vaccinated?
Yes, at my work, everyone who was vaccinated, then everyone got sick.
And they all got negative side effects from the vaccine too?
Basically it's blood clots. Many complain that after vaccination, all chronic diseases have become aggravated. In general, most people do not want to be vaccinated, but at work they are forced, otherwise they are fired.
No, there is herd immunity.
And also there is viral mutation progression which typically proceeds from less virulent and more deadly to more virulent and less deadly.
I do not have any regrets for not taking any dose of the vaccine.
I myself heard from the beginning that this corona vaccine came, which is why I did not get it, and now the way things are coming out, I was thinking that I was right.

Ivermectin really helped me and a lot of people I know; but we had to get it under the table as it was rejected by the Austrian powers....
In my opinion, whatever risk there was by that virus could be dealt with using that drug.
Ivermectin, HCQ, budenoside, saline washes - a million options were available. Why did powers that be forced so many people - including you - get it under the table, or made it outright unavailable? Was it incompetence? Was it malice? That is part of what needs to be investigated.
I'm sure part of it was simply greed.
