A good question, I can't answer. But I can tell you, when my daughter had her liver transplant, they gave her an insane amount of medications for weeks. They only gave her one shot of a monoclonal antibody "Basiliximab". The syringe with it was escorted by two guards from the pharmacy.

Isn't it only, like, a few thousand dollars? By all means, be careful with it, but you don't see teams of guards at the apple store escorting hardware to the customer.

Was this maybe earlier in development and the price was much higher or something?
