Newsflash.......the ads are not targeted at YOU. Plenty of people DO care and are helped by those drugs. And I hope Frank the Tank likes the new Jardiance lady since he had a real hate-on for "Daniela Vogelbach"I think the reason I hate big pharma ads so much is that they try to overprice the consumer by advertising drugs that you don't need or that don't apply to my medical condition.
For instance, I need drugs right now. But I didn't get those drugs off advertising. No, they were prescribed to me, so I'm on ibuprofen and antibiotics. That's fine, and nobody advertised them to me.
So what is the point of me getting Jardiance, Wegovy, Ozempic, and other ads? I DON'T CARE

Why should TV tell me what drugs to buy and not your doctor?Newsflash.......the ads are not targeted at YOU. Plenty of people DO care and are helped by those drugs. And I hope Frank the Tank likes the new Jardiance lady since he had a real hate-on for "Daniela Vogelbach"
Nobody is "telling you" to buy those drugs any more than a cereal ad is "telling you" to eat that cereal. They are over the counter drugs that you have a "choice" whether or not to take. Of course ANYONE should consult their doctor before taking those meds.Why should TV tell me what drugs to buy and not your doctor?
You do know this country and NZ are the only ones where prescription drugs can be sold on TVNobody is "telling you" to buy those drugs any more than a cereal ad is "telling you" to eat that cereal. They are over the counter drugs that you have a "choice" whether or not to take. Of course ANYONE should consult their doctor before taking those meds.
Again, no one is FORCING you to take those drugs. And as for all the followers of Sir, whose pea brains don't allow them to grasp that concept, the sympathy train is not stopping at their homes.You do know this country and NZ are the only ones where prescription drugs can be sold on TV
Then why advertise them? They are of no need for most people. Not everything needs to be advertised.Again, no one is FORCING you to take those drugs. And as for all the followers of Sir, whose pea brains don't allow them to grasp that concept, the sympathy train is not stopping at their homes.
Thoughts & prayers to Catherine.
Here is another thought.........why don't you just change the channel when these ads come on? I am NOT a fan of Big Pharma either but I refuse to get offended by a TV ad. And remember, it is Sleepy Joe that is working to keep drug costs down.......but heaven forbid we elect someone who trips on the pavement or gets lost on the way to the podium;Then why advertise them? They are of no need for most people. Not everything needs to be advertised.
You know tobacco ads are illegal right, why not big pharma? So they can price out companies some more?
Why doesn't Joe rant on big pharma charging thousands for life saving medication and other drugs that are advertised on TV?
WhoI'm happy for Northwestern........Greeny, Wilbon, NBC;s Sam Brock & Peter Alexander among their many great fans.
Speaking of NBC.........WTF with their latest hire?? !!
