Seventy-five percent of the revenue from Fox News’ evening news is from pharmaceutical companies…These pharma ads air during prime-time slots, and despite the decline in legacy media, as recently as April of this year, 1.9 million people watched Fox’s top hosts.
Finding out how much money media outlets make off pharma advertising can be surprisingly difficult. However, in 2021, pharma companies spent $6.88 billion on direct-to-consumer advertising. And they spent (at least) $250 million to tell the public that the COVID-19 vaccine was “safe and effective.”
It certainly helps facilitate deals and positive coverage when the two entities have common interests and interact with one another. For instance, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is a common place for these owners and executives to mingle. Figures such as James Murdoch (son of Fox owner Rupert Murdoch and former CEO of 21st Century Fox), Michael J. Cavanagh (president of Comcast), Michael Froman (president of the CFR and board director of Disney), and Dr. Albert Bourla (chairman and CEO of Pfizer) are all members.
In another example, Joseph Wolk, the chief financial officer at Johnson & Johnson, is a member of the CNBC Global CFO Council, which is designed to help “the modern CFO strengthen relationships with their peers and with CNBC’s world-class business and financial journalists.”
The next step in the predatory cycle is when we follow the directions in the commercials—“ask your doctor if this treatment is right for you.” We trust the doctors to then evaluate our condition and the medicinal offerings and give us their unbiased opinion. Unfortunately, this has not been the case with many doctors for a long time. According to one study, between 2013 and 2022, pharmaceutical companies paid doctors more than $12 billion in various gifts and fees.

Especially a BigPharma/USAID paid one. They probably get a bonus for every reply post they make.

So, you think stating that tobacco is different from pharmaceuticals is propaganda.
Believe it or not, you don’t speak for anyone except the small anti-vaxxer conspiracy cult.
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.
I’m beginning to believe that DugwayDuke is a Chinese operative pushing to kill off more Americans.
That....or Bill Gates’ lil runner.
Hmm, good point!

You believe that because I support a vaccine which saved millions of lives?
It would appear that the anti-vaxxers are the ones who want to kill off more Americans.
You keep mistaking the word save for kill.
It has killed millions.

Yes, COVID killed millions.
Yes, the vaccines saved millions.
No, there is no evidence that the vaccines killed millions.
Give it up.
It has been proven that the jabs that you wrongly call “vaccine” are killing people.
Hopefully soon, all of the makers and pushers will face the consequences of this travesty.

It has been proven that the vaccines saved millions yet you call that a travesty.
You are so full of bull.
Bye.
Thankfully, just yesterday, there was a thread that said that Pres Trump was officially closing the USAID (unless I dreamt that).
Hopefully it will shut up the stupid BSers.
