USA medical "science" was destroyed in the USA when it became "Big Science" funded by government to benefit big pharma. That kicked off in WW1 to develop and mass test new vaccines and new chemical warfare potions. Then, those efforts escalated in the late 1930's in a new race led by MIT, Harvard, U of Chicago and UC Berkeley to make radioactive weapons and (wink, nod) cancer cures with big new machines while the US government also was getting ever deeper into the fighter and bomber airplane warfare races, and before WW2 ended into missiles. The military/industrial complex President Eisenhower warned us about as he left the White House is just doing what it's been doing since 1917 when James Conant, a future president of Harvard, weaponized for the US Army Lewisite as a young chemist to make one the most deadly chemical weapons ever known and who was while running Harvard a leader in setting up the Manhattan Project, too. One of these days I'm going to his grave to spit on it. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6473486/james-bryant-conant
