       | Unless this antibody is somehow similar across all antibodies
       | created as a reaction to an infection - that single patient
       | should get a part of the profits from all vaccines/treatments
       | derived from the antibody made in their body - it's only fair if
       | their "work" is part of making vaccines that are then sold to
       | others globally on a wide scale.
       | 
       | Then again, this is the medical industrial complex, so I'm sure
       | they'll find a way to justify not reimbursing the patient. Unless
       | I'm mistaken?
