This was only the second cure of several dozen similar marrow transplant procedures ech costing on the order of six figures. And with 50 million around the world infected and 40 years of searching for a reliable cure.

The recently disgraced Chinese scientist used CRSPER/CAS9 genetic engineering on human embryros to induce this immunity into people who lacked it. The experiment was conducted in a totally unethical way with the scientist under criminal investigation. But the goal was noble.
