“Yescarta and Kymriah do work similarly, though. Each involves removing a patient's T-cells and shipping them to a facility where they're engineered to spot and bind to CD19, a protein commonly expressed by B-cell cancers. Once the companies have finished altering the T-cells, they're infused back into the patient.”

This seems to be quite an outlier in a discussion on general vaccine economics.

The article you linked to discusses the cost of CAR-T therapies for DLBCL and ALL, not a Hep-C cure. That's what the previous commenter was referring to as 'an outlier'.
