Paying more by richest countries is fine, but it should help get vaccines cheaper for developing country.

To be fair, this was always the plan. Once the rich countries got vaccinated, they were going to give the surplus to the rest of the world.
Boosters and supply chain issues have rather upended that plan, though.
I think it is the problem of supply and demand because EU and even more US* are making vaccines way more expensive.
* EU is buying vaccines together to not compete for price between states but the price is probably way higher than African countries can pay. Imagine the whole world teamed up together and vulnerable people would be vaccinated at the same time before young healthy people as it is done now in EU.
