COVID, when the world partly united to make a cure and a vaccine in quite a record time?
Yep, scifi will need to amend the trope to "united just enough..."
Academia and pharmaceutical companies united to develop the vaccine while the shitmunchers were rioting in the streets because epidemiology is confusing
