Cuba, a nation economically besieged by practically the entire world, continuing to prove that "innovation is driven by capitalism" is complete bullshit.
Last I was in Cuba was January 2017. It was always a place you could go to and know that you would never run into any Americans, but of course this was during the short window of time of Obama's easing of travel restrictions. I ran into some yankees at the bar in the hotel I was staying and at subsequently engaged in an enraging debate about how the private sector, free market and profit motive is the best and most perfect source of innovation because it rewards hard work etc etc. No matter how many examples I gave of Cuba's exceptional health care and medical innovations (like being the first country to successfully eliminate mother to child transmission of HIV) or even India's mass production of generic pharmaceuticals (as opposed to expensive name brand drugs that are identical in everything but price) he just wouldn't listen or budge.
Clinical trials have already started mothafuckaaaaa
