Nothing new here, even with the Trump-era mess calculated into the story.
We as a country/world have largely decided vaccines are not a priority. We have not spent a lot of capacity, prior to COVID not been willing to actually use technologies over 40 years in testing, nor willing to pay the companies to care.
Honestly, the value to someone with a good vaccine for COVID 19 is likely worth thousands of dollars or more even to a healthy person, especially if it gives you the freedom to travel. But what are we willing to offer? A hundred dollars a dose? Something like that.
