So all or nothing or your not in and it seems you are confusing “science and medicine”with what those that hold the purse strings were willing to finance. In that case a line was drawn in the sand and more people died due to Covid or not having access to care due to financial restrictions.
In most of the developed world, Science/Medicine and purse strings are kissing cousins. This relationship has led to the vaccine or nothing approach to disease management. We can throw in face masks as a garnish so others can say they play. In lesser developed countries, practitioners have had to practice medicine, look at the science and use what is available to care for their patients. Instead, many in the west have sent their patients home then to the hosptital to die. Interesting don't you think?
