American individuality works well for inventing vaccines though. Any covid vaccines that have come out of Japan or Taiwan? Japan has a substantial pharmaceutical industry.

Given that the majority of vaccines were invented in less-individualistic countries (including not one, but two that were developed in China, the first one from nonindividualistic Russia, and the more innovative ones coming from non-quite-as-individualistic Europe with Germany's Biontech-Pfizer or the british-swedish Astrazeneca), that is not a good argument.

The Chinese and Russian vaccine use well established technologies, nothing particularly new. There's no mRNA vaccines developed in China or Russia or Japan or Taiwan. There's also quite a bit of questioning the effectiveness of Russian and Chinese vaccines.

Japan especially coldly treated vaccine development, due to historical and ongoing misunderstood issue.
