Sure - medical personnel around the world killed millions of people just to make a campaign for a vaccine because other therapy would be too cheap. Sounds totally plausible. They wouldn't make that "incredibly effective" therapy more expensive instead because that's not how free market works and higher demand doesn't increase price.
Also that's not what the article was about - it was about using similar technology for malaria infection prevention as is used by some of covid vaccines.
