It is extremely plausible that worst case, average case, and best case have different rankings - it's a little telling that you have no data and your only counter is to say that average should have the same trend.
I am aware that most of the cutting edge clinical trials in my field occur in the US. I have also seen people travel to the US for treatment of rare diseases. And I know that this isn't a surprising thing for the US in general, just look at our universities.
It's actually pretty funny that the only other response I got was someone saying that this is super obvious/true across fields in the US and thus not an interesting statement.
It is extremely weird that you think the best hospitals in the USA are not the same as the best hospitals in other developed countries. Especially given that their medical systems outperform the US system on a general basis.
I don't know if it is a weird American bias or what. I'd take a look at the bias there and this belief in American exceptionalism as it doesn't pan out in the data.
Cutting edge clinical trials and those companies are global in nature. I mean just look at the Moderna team and where they conducted those.
