Actually yes, the technology for mRNA vaccines was largely invented in the United States starting in the 1980s. [0] It has since been refined by multiple international commercial teams.
yes, the US played a role, but so did germany, where biontech is based. That is why it's not accurate to say "the EU is so technologically backward and anti-science", just like you couldn't say the same about the US.

Designed by Turks, developed by Germans, produced by Americans. It's like the exact reverse of the usual way products are made haha.

Coincidentally I remember watching a series of YouTube videos where the Odin people actually created their own COVID vaccine.
Nevermind all the chemicals, just shipping the plant itself internationally for that kit might be impossible.
It's a shame, the EU is so technologically backward and anti-science.
