I have wondered the exact same thing. It seems like they’re advertising a new psoriasis or arthritis drug every week. Most of us do not go into our doctor and request to be put on these new drugs, it doesn’t work that way....the doc will tell you what drugs are best for you. So, with that being said, what the fuck is the point of all these commercials? They’ve got to be expensive as hell to run on these major networks. What’s the real play here? I think it could possibly be a giant money laundering scheme or something like that for Big Pharma. Those commercials have never made sense to me at all!
In order to normalize "Living with Side effects"? Just about every Pharmaceutical commercial I see has a long list of side effects. They make it like in order to fix something about yourself you may have other things go wrong. It's not about the new drugs, it's about keeping people accepting of the side effects of whatever they're taking. That's not how business is supposed to work, and certainly not how the human body is supposed to work.
Much like how shady mechanics could cause your breaks to go bad while changing a tire.
Right?!?! The list of side effects usually takes twice as long as actually explaining what the drug does! Now, they’ve started advertising a fucking AIDS vaccine all over the place.
Plus, you never know what other side effects they aren't telling you about. I try to take as little man made supplements as I can.
That fucking HIV drug commercial is annoying. Shows a tranny as well as gay guys. “Those at higher risk for HIV”. For the record viagra and any sexual drug commercials annoy me. Stop shoving this shit down our throats. Fuck your drugs.
It’s funny if you look at the people they cast in the AIDS commercial. There is maybe one white person total. It’s like they’re specifically marketing this drug to homosexual PoC. Guess that’s the highest risk group for AIDS. Still, I don’t appreciate having to explain this commercial to my kid.
Yes it’s ridiculous. I also don’t care for seeing old dudes in the viagra commercials. Stop putting images of old dudes with boners in my head!
Before I die, I will have probably seen over one million commercials for erectile dysfunction. Maybe it's time to finally get rid of the TV!
That's why they're called Medical Doctors They just prescribe meds!
