You don't get it. Developing vaccines is nothing like making cars. Our understanding of how the human body works is comical compared to our understanding of materials science and engineering, design and other aspects of making cars. Developing vaccines is a long, treacherous journey on a narrow ledge with cliffs on either side from start to finish. Infectious diseases research has seen a sharp decline in funding and commercial interest in general. Because of how little we know about the body, most research doesn't generate results that can be turned into money. The only way to continue to support research is via public funds and grants. The public funding of science has been a major contributing factor for our advancements in this kind of research.
