Like the FDA? We see how well it works...

  Well, other countries managed to solve it, as they've managed to have schools without shootings, cities with public transport, no gerrymandering, and so on. So it's not unsurmountable, just badly done...

    other countries fail at research. there is close to zero new drugs that are not developed in the US

      You'd be surprised, especially since most of the "new drugs developed in the US" are crap consumer oriented drugs with no real medicinal value (a trillion snake-oil industry) and differentiating qualities, and reiterations of existing stuff to get new patent leases... Even so, https://www.iam-media.com/article/switzerland-once-again-named-the-worlds-most-innovative-country#:~:text=The%20top%20pharmaceutical%20patents%20are,of%20the%20most%20biotech%20patents https://www.iam-media.com/article/switzerland-once-again-nam....

        > "new drugs developed in the US" are crap consumer oriented drugs with no real medicinal value (a trillion snake-oil industry) This is true to some extent (not all drugs approved require more than just superiority vs placebo), but that reads like throwing the baby out with the water. There's a ton of great drugs developed every year that are clearly very innovative in terms of mode of action, and by far and large those come from the US.
