Yep, every commercial break is almost always one for

Ozempic
Breztri
Dupixent
Rexulti
And in the last few weeks, Camzyos

Thankfully haven't been seeing commercials for the Fauci poison lately. I'm sure they'll reappear once the next variant shows up and Pfizer needs more $$$ for their bottom line.

Without the drug commercials, how else am I to know if my erectile dysfunction is low, or if I need medication for depression. Lets not forget about weight loss pills, because lord knows my weight is a contributing factor for depression which is causing my erectile to be low.

Save us oh drugs, we need thee in our lives.

This so needs Rocky's talent

Listen to the fast talking side effects at the end drug commercials...most talk about changes to the perineum...

Perineum=taint...wtf?

Now that I'm living in the Houston TV market, it's all commercials for Jardiance, and of course Travis Kelce pushing the vax.

When I was living in Los Angeles, the commercials were all about remaining undetectable with your HIV. Based on the commercials, this is especially important if you're a Black man.

If you really want to be shocked at how much the drug ads dominate American TV, go live overseas for a few years. When I was living in Australia, every time I'd come back to the USA, the nonstop bombardment of drug ads was overwhelming.

in the past you went to a doctor who worked for themselves and treated patients

today you go to a doctor who works for a large corporation with the goal of selling you stuff. these medical conglomerates are in bed with pharmacy. their job is to sell you medications to help with one ailment while creating another.

profit and control. that is the answer to your question.

What is erectile dysfunction, is that like they never stop?

Only two countries in the world allow direct-to-consumer pharm advertising.

US and New Zealand.

And as a result, pharm owns the media.

The ads aren't really to get consumers to get the drugs.

The ads are to bribe the media to continue ignoring all of the terrible things pharm does and all the harm it causes.

THIS is the correct answer. It's not to increase profits, big pharma already has this in spades. It's to be sure that they are never questioned, and any dissent is squashed. See the covid vax for exhibit A.

I hadn't considered that and you are most probably correct. Thanks for the insight.

I don't take any of this crap they advertise…. It's sickening having to listen to all their stupid commercials with some homo/ gay man or over weight fat white chick telling us we need to be taking something ..

Hey fatty, try skipping a few meals or pushing your fat arse back from the table !

My favorite one is on Hulu. It's a commercial for Xiaflex, a treatment for Peyronie's Disease. The website is www.bentcarrot.com.

This is why I shop at Costco, they don't sell bent carrots

Perhaps we should take note of the drug being pushed in the commercial and avoid it at all costs.

If the Pharma companies funnel ad dollars to these networks for leverage to pull ads should the networks run stories questioning their products, then you can bet they have something to hide about that product.

If government won't outlaw these "bribes" we can certainly vote with our wallets.

That lady can snap her hips really well, especially considering her low center of gravity.

I think that I could write commercial jingles very well, and missed out on a career doing so.

Side effects include burning of the perineum.
Then they have to spell out what the perineum is.

My new favorite is Keytruda. It is a cancer drug. I can't imagine a scenario where I'd ask an oncologist to prescribe anything. I'm going to let MD Anderson tell me what works. Btw - a single dose of Keytruda cost $36k. Wonder if we could lower that a bit by not having ads on national television?!?

When I first started watching television, it was in San Antonio in 1955 and the whole city only had 2 or 3 stations and they were only in black&white.
But commercials were so much less intrusive that I enjoyed watching TV more then than I do now.
I've been through shows lately where half the viewing time seemed to be commercials.
Actually, I rarely watch TV now, rather play games on my PC or explore the internet.

Do you breathe air?

Do you walk on two legs?

Well, you may be a candidate for <insert drug name here>. Let us use fear and your ignorance to ask your doctor to prescribe our medicine.

Side effects include rapid heart rate, anal swelling, hair loss, hair growth, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, falling out of windows, halitosis, voting democrat.

Don't take this drug if you drink water or have a job.

Use only as directed

"Do you have this minor condition that you hadn't really thought much about? Well, you may have Xtacalotapetl's disease, a little known genetic condition that causes minor sensitivity to chili peppers. Fortunately, there's Mycoxafalin, recently released to help you deal with this rare medical issues. Ask your doctor about Mycoxafalin!"

*side effects include nausea, sensitivity to light, vomiting, acne, psoriasis, kidney failure, anal leakage, hair loss, and episodes of psychosis. Do not use if you're allergic to cat hair, oak pollen, cedar, peanuts or cocaine, or if you have high blood pressure, low blood pressure, or average blood pressure. Ask your doctor before you start taking Mycoxafalin

Big Pharma already owns the politicians, doctors, and have plenty of willing customers. They don't spend advertising dollars to get more patients; they do so to control the narrative.

The bent carrot disease commercial is pretty funny.
