That's the point of the system, to give the vaccines to the people who run the biggest risks (elderly, healthcare workers who spend a lot of time in proximity to infected, etc), rather than to whoever's the richest. Especially considering that being rich already makes it a lot easier to minimize your risks (typically have jobs that are easier to take home, better access to private transportation, can afford to not work for a while in the worst case).

It's false to assume that only rich people get the vaccine when markets regulate. There's economies of scale that will help lowering production cost.

Edit: Also, let's not kid ourselves here. Anyone that is a billionaire can surely get vacinated already easily.
