Which vaccine would that be? The Pfizer one was developed by BioNTech in Germany (it's also produced by Fosun Pharma for China), the Johnson & Johnson one was developed by their Belgian subsidiary Janssen. I think only the Moderna (NIAID) and Novavax are truly "US-developed" vaccines. The AstraZeneca one was developed in the UK, Sputnik V by Russia, and CureVac is German.
Besides, I don't think patient-healthcare spending (where the US is spending an additional 5-8% of GDP) affects that or where they were developed.
