There are roughly 75 million HCV infections in the world.
That translates to a total cure cost of:
75M * $350k = $26.25T
There are other ARV treatments available which cost now roughly $50-100k and cure in 3 months.
Whereas immunizing everyone against coronaviruses currently costs:
8B * $7 = $56B
Clearly, the costs of the HCV cure are predatory and unreasonable because it doesn't lead to eradication and it's inaccessible to the poor and the third-world.
