Understood.

But for instance I’ve read reports - credible reports - that say that the “Restasis” stuff they prescribe for dry eyes actually only works for ten percent of the people who use it.

The doctors who prescribe it know that and the pharma company that sells it know that.

I imagine the only people as a group who don’t know that are the people buying it.

So who’s “lying”??

Maybe their eyes moisten up when they start crying over how they wuz ripped off blind!!

No one. There is no way of knowing ahead of time that you are part of that 10% unless you try it.

No pharmaceutical company company claims that its medication to treat a certain condition will work the same in all people who use it. All medications have different degrees of effectiveness depending on the type of disease, its progression, and other complicating conditions such as the individual's own unique physical nature, general state of health, the patient's gender, age, etc, etc, etc.
