> Think about people like me: I could easily afford to pay whatever it would cost to be vaccinated. But, it's largely pointless: I work at home and don't go outside except to get some groceries now and again. If I did get COVID-19, I'm at a very low risk of dying. I'm probably not going to spread it to anyone either; I live alone and would just stay in bed for the two weeks I was contagious.
I.e. you wouldn't find it worthwhile to pay whatever it may cost for an early dose (the LA Times reports people offering up to $25,000). Distribution by willingness to pay does sort by those who are able to pay and finding it worth the cost.
