It's also worth noting that if it's $7 for the payer, there's a lot less than $7 of profit.

The true unit cost is probably $6 per dose. The COVID vaccines may break-even short-term. Long-term, it's probably worth keeping an extra 120M potential customers alive for what will probably result in a small profit.
The true unit cost of HCV cures is unknowable but possibly half of the current price.
