Thanks for the correction, I was on a bus writing in a hurry with my phone, so no time for a comprehensive thesis. I agree that making a blanket statement like that misses a lot of important cases, real world has too many complications. The example of vaccines is a good one, as it's beneficial to everyone that everyone else takes them.

No worries. Thanks for being so civil!
In principle you could still sell the vaccines and separately give people money for taking them. For cheap, well-established vaccines that would just be more hassle than it's worth.
For eg the first batches of the covid vaccine, it would have made a lot of sense though.
