I found an article confirming this. Though it also says
> "Israel paid about $30 per dose, almost double what other nations did"
I'm always shocked by how little money that is. $3000 per dose would be cheap!!!

>Under Bingham’s direction, the taskforce helped the Government to secure agreements to have access to six different vaccines across four different formats, amounting to 357 million doses – without being certain any of them would work. Spending £1 billion up front, it could not have been a bigger gamble.
Whereas the EU didn't do that. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/work/kate-bingham-exclusiv...
I don't think I understand what you are trying to say.
So far the US has spent $5300B on Covid relief packages. That's around $15,000 per American.
If a vaccine dose can save $15,000, $30 is absurdly cheap. $3000 would be an incredible bargain!
This is also why the EU haggling over a few dollars per dose looks so insane to those who have done the math.
Maybe it's late with vaccines but the same principle applies to carbon. Set a $200 carbon price and private enterprise would go crazy with plans to take advantage.
