What is the customary charges for “experimental vaccine that isn’t FDA approved” and “macro-isolation quarantine private room”? How do you put a pricetag on it?

I would guess that the makers of Zmapp gave it to Brantly free of charge. The FDA can and does allow for compassionate use of unapproved drugs. Also, this drug is not a vaccine ( vaccines are given as a way to prevent illness prior to exposure and infection)

As far as charges for the quarantine room at Emory, the charges will be up to the hospital. Again I believe Samaritan’s Purse is paying for his care. They paid for his transportation back from Africa.
