Smells a bit like American exceptionalism.

"America is so important, we singlehandedly forced scientists to accelerate with developing the vaccine because we are so important and big."

Um, huh?... vaccines are how you stop viruses... It's as if you said "scientists rushing to stop COVID because Americans refuse to try to stop COVID", which is just silly.

Vaccines aren't the only way to stop viruses. There's also masking and social distancing and hand washing.

I think that's the point. We could have taken the pressure off scientists and doctors and nurses and service employees and everyone else by doing simple things that a vocal, ignorant portion of society decided was too inconvenient to tolerate.
