That’s a good example. I might say, “All the efforts from scientists around the world add up to a safe vaccine against the virus” or something like that. With “add up” it sounds more natural to use a word like “All efforts” rather than “each.”

In reply to EVERSON ZIN. Ah yes, the taxes and duties and fees add up. In the case of your example, you might say "the barriers add up" if they accumulate: warning labels, taxes, restrictions, etc.

Each effort from all scientists worldwide should add up to achieve the one vaccine against the virus.

I finished a project yesterday and I showed it to my colleagues. They liked it and started proposing some additional suggestions. Each one was a little change but together added up to 2 more hours of work.
However at the end the result was amazing. That’s why I love working in team.
