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, ensuring excessive local production. This unilateral foreign policy has influenced other countries or regional blocs and undermined global cooperation and solidarity, affecting the collective health of several nations.
美国对这一流行病的应对措施涉及大量联邦资源，特别是用于开发和获取内部使用的产品，如诊断试剂或疫苗。投资机制和历史方面的情况证明这种支出是合理的。因此，美国社会中的民族主义的社会构建阻碍了获取卫生技术的机会。对这些方面的审查表明，美国是如何确保大量潜在产品的，以确保过度的本地生产。这种单边外交政策影响了其他国家或地区集团，并破坏了全球合作与团结，影响了若干国家的集体健康。
