America could come up with a miracle drug that cures every disease known to man

And then the average USAling would never be able to afford that drug even if bankrupting themselves. And your big pharma would also keep it out of the hands of most of the world by patenting it and keeping the price artificially high. And you’d all still boast that you discovered that miracle drug and all the rest of the world is inferior to you.

Fair enough, let me rephrase that:

I’m glad scientists think otherwise, or we would still be living in the bronze age.

I mean this feels like an obvious result.

I’m glad scientists think otherwise, or we would still be living in the dark ages.
