This dismisses the actual problem, citizens of the USA are fighting against big corporation interests and systemic abuse. This is the kind of thing a movie bully tells the kid that he is punching with the kid's own fist: "Stop hitting yourself".
USA citizens are fighting, are organizing, are more conscious than ever of their lack of health-care, education, justice.
So, unless you refer to the billionaires, it is not true at all that "we just don't want to fix them.". All the rest are trying their best.

Is his proposal to give a vaccine to millions without testing it properly first? Is this the the final "move fast; break things"? And that things are people's lives.

The "market is always right", like communism, works in theory. But, in practice many have forgotten 2006.

If you have the money, yes.
And the it ends with a rant on Twitter. The guy that wrote on Twitter: “Anti-colonialism has been economically catastrophic for the Indian people for decades. Why stop now?”. At least, he apologized.
It is very interesting to peek into the mind of someone so out of touch of day-to-day life for most people. His views on how, if he was let free to do as he pleases, he will solve all the problems, that easy. I guess that too much money gives people a "delusion of grandeur".
