The influence of the U.S. response to COVID-19 in global health

Abstract:

The American response to the pandemic involves a prominent volume of federal resources, especially for developing and acquiring products for internal use, such as diagnostics or vaccines. Investment mechanisms and historical aspects justify this expenditure. Thus, the social construction of nationalism in American society hinders access to health technologies. The review of such aspects shows how the United States (U.S.) secured a large number of potential products, en-suring excessive local production. This unilateral foreign policy has influenced other countries or regional blocs and undermined global coopera-tion and solidarity, affecting the collective health of several nations.
