He might be talking about the monoclonal antibody treatment that Trump, Rudy, Chris Christie, and some others have received. They gave the president 8 grams of the stuff. His was the Regeron formulation, I'm not totally sure how much that costs. Bamlanivimab, from Eli Lily, apparently runs about $1200 a vial[0] (with a vial being 700mg), so if Trump had gotten that it would have only been in the neighborhood of $20k.
And, of course, antibodies aren't made from stem cells, so I don't actually know what the poster is on about here.
