Putting vaccines on the free market would mean that they are purchased by individuals with the most buying power first, which are coincidentally the same people most able to isolate and avoid the disease entirely. To me, that seems counterproductive.
The current allocation might not be the maximally effective one but a free market solution that beats it is a pipe dream.
