I am sure people realize that this treatment is not a pill but actual gene therapy.

Here's a link on that means:

Here's also a link on Zolgensma.

BTW, Novartis bought AveXis, which I believe was the primary R&D arm for Zolgensma prior to purchase for 8.7bn.

The market will dictate the costs and for now this is the cost of business to take on rare diseases in our society.

You could always go to another country or market where there is no research done but you can get advil for free.

It’s crazy that doctors are able to come up with cures for rare diseases if they can charge 2 million for it but they won’t cure common diseases that people suffer from. Like hangovers
