Great article from American Thinker:
Today, October the 5th, three Americans were awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine. This continues the strong showing of US medical research, with US researchers counting for eighteen of the last thirty winners. US institutions where the research was conducted accounted for 19 of the 30 last prizes. If this was a sporting contest, commentators would be talking about an “American legacy of dominance” in the field. Instead of talking about the tremendous success the US has had, all we hear from our politicians and left wing talking heads is how the medical system is broken.
The media talks about the technical details of what the scientists discovered, but I haven’t seen anyone analyze why the US has so many winners. The Europeans have certainly looked at the reasons why the US has excelled and concluded that more research happens in the US and that the research is of a higher quality, and that private/public partnerships can work.
