Napkin math: the typical estimate for the statistical economic value of a human life (in the US) is $1M-$10M. So if each vaccine course can be targeted such that it saves a life with 25% likelihood, it's likely a net positive. Future iterations and new technologies based on it would hopefully drive the cost down further.
