Maybe. But the fact of the matter is, that almost every new discovery comes from taxpayer funded universities (socialism) -- including the revolutionary mRNA discovery.
One way or another, all those discoveries seem to quietly slide away into some corporations, more often than not created by one or more of the involved scientists. Not only in the US...
