Yes. So you agree with me that capitalism is a symbiosis with the public systems it depends on and not solely responsible as your comment seemed to indicate. Moderna wouldn't have produced so much so quickly without a government ready to buy up their supply. Many more people would have died, and possibly from more variants, had it not been freely available. The US would be a breeding ground for variants if most of the population weren't vaccinated, and it wouldn't be if they weren't free in this one exceptional case. Almost 80% of the US has at least one dose compared to the usual ~50% with the flu vaccine. The second dose is ticking up toward 70%.
