markets are pricing vaccines wrong, way too low, and distribution is even more inefficient.

some people with access to it are declining to take it, and vaccines are expiring. yet to many people, a vaccine could be priceless. imagine if the people who declined instead got a little stimulus for at least finding someone else who’ll take it, “selling,” if you will

take the idea adiabatically from vaccines about to expire should instead be auctioned, and move it in the direction of increasing effectiveness to the limit of being cancelled for being too capitalist. also avoid the impact of distorted incentives.

This boils down to encouraging people to not get vaccinated in order to make money. Markets aren't an appropriate tool for this. The goal is for everybody to get the vaccine. Markets are for maximizing money. Markets aren't for making sure everybody gets something.

If you'd like to use economic incentives (as in, the broader tool than markets) offer rent or medical bill forgiveness for people who get the vaccine.
