Around 200 other countries did not!

There aren't 200 countries with the resources that the USA has to spend on it.

Other powers with large economies also spent a lot - notably, Germany funded the development of Pfizer's COVID vaccine, and the UK funded the Oxford-AZ vaccine.

So, it would not be accurate to say that "operation warp-speed" was unique.
