what new medicines have come out of europe recently? (serious question)

The Pfizer vaccine for one.

And mRNA tech came from Europe? (seems like it came from USA to me) And isn't Pfizer an American company? You're talking about the German company right? Would they have been able to do without Pfizer backing them?

Looks like two Germans, one a Turkish immigrant.

How's that vaccine working out?

really well. Vaccinated people are still 3x less likely to get sick than unvaccinated.
