I am not talking about any lagit use someone may need. I am talking strictly about marketing tactics.Sure we are. Prescription flu meds are all the rage come flu season.
Quote:It is just like guns, it isn't that people have them, and some people do need them, but the marketing is the issue. I don't like the flood of marketing. It isn't there for the consumer. Far too much of ALL businesses at the top are about finding more shareholders. The NRA scares the crap out of gun owners, not because the other side wants a dictatorship, they scare the crap out of people to KEEP POWER. Corporate adds, no matter the product, including drugs, but anything, are designed to sell you a fix, either through saying "You need this", or "if you don't buy this bad things will happen".One axe at a time, I think.
Quote:I think consumers would do better to consult a doctor directly, even get a second opinion, not listen to an add. Just like one should not buy a car because some guy is shouting loudly on a TV.Hence the "consult your physician to see if our drug is right for you" song and dance..no?
Quote:There is a huge difference between neutral science, and corporate boardrooms whom have a money motivation to get their "scientists" to make a product sound lagit. If you watch the COSMOS series with Neil Degrasse Tyson, in one of the episodes they noted the history of the Lead industry, which at the time put out adds in black and white cartoons selling the idea that "Lead is natural, lead is your friend".
Dont confuse lagit science with money motivations. Neutral science is objective.
