No, it’s way more than merely Pfizer. All the big pharma companies do the same thing. More than in any other country pharmaceutical companies TV adverts are ubiquitous, the Big Pharma spending on TV ads is massive, and then they claim their high prices they charge here in the U.S. are necessary for what they have to spend on R&D for developing new drugs, yet they do not charge those high prices in other countries where they do not do as much TV advertizing. But TV advertizing IS A COST OF DOING BUSINESS. They could cut their TV advertizing massively, put the savings into R&D, and quit complaining the high prices they charge us are necessary for their R&D. And who would suffer the most? Us? No. It would be a huge revenue loss to the TV networks; the networks that never investigate Big Pharma.
Yes, I know it’s way more than Pfizer.
Pfizer is the one that someone made a montage for, that was played here and on social media, heavily, that showcased ALL of the NEWS outlet programs....brought to you by Pfizer.
Only two countries in the world permit direct to consumer pharmaceutical ads. I believe the other country is New Zealand. We should not allow it.
