Are you forgetting about state funding?

  What's the history of a state fully funding a drug (not talking about basic research)? Has a government developed, tested, approved, and provided a medicine? genuinely curious, but you can't forget something that hasn't happened yet

    I‘m not an expert on this, but it seems that penicillin was discovered and developed into a drug with public funding.

  No. You may not have seen it but I edited my comment a few minutes after posting to mention grants. The FDA does have an orphan drug program that would seem to apply (if non-patentable) and could help fund clinical trials but I don’t know how much else of the process it will pay for.

  US constituent states cannot print money. This only makes sense at the federal level.
