Without being utterly cynical about this, it's absolutely going to take a while to get the rest of the world on a production scale without that massive US funding. I do, however, have one giant piece of hope. An enormous source of the resources used in the world's medical research and industry has been in service to capitalism: with capitalism, the assumption that people shouldn't be well, because sick people are more profitable. If medical research and aims are instead focused on curing disease rather than merely ameliorating symptoms, as responsible governments do like healthy citizens, there may be an upswing in innovation centered on actually trying to fix these twisted, decaying bodies we've all been saddled with.

I don't expect that to come from the UK or Canada, either, but it's a much bigger world than just three countries.
