Except Propofol was discovered by a Scot working for a British pharma in the 70s and Fentanyl was discovered by a Belgian working for a Belgian pharma.

I stopped checking again at this point. As a reminder your first claim was 80% of the list. I think your reliability has clearly been established at this point.

~80% in reverse chronological order by year of discovery. Just went through the list of drugs developed in the 21st century:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_drugs_by_year_of_disco...

Except for Alectinib, which was developed in Japan, 13 of the 14 drugs developed in the 21st century for example have been developed in the United States:

That's 93%. Again what has the rest of the World been doing?

So 9 by the 24th in the list not 30, so your reliability has also been established.
