I think this is where we disagree. If wealth was equally distributed I would agree but wealth follows a power law distribution. People with a 1000x less money than me but with 100x more risk should get the vaccine before me.
Do you know of the mythical man month problem? It seems to apply here.

Because there are a lot of people considering themselves at 100x risk (high demand) and very few people interested in serving them for no profit (low supply). The market laws are simple and implacable. This is our current strategy and I consider it disastrous. But you should be pretty happy with it then. The current vaccination is run exactly according to your priorities, so kudos! Again, I know too little about producing vaccines to know if this is a MMM situation, but based on my expertise in other fields, I highly doubt it.
