Video: Former Pharma Insider Unveils Big Pharma’s ‘Open Secret’
If you’ve ever wondered why there are so many pharmaceutical commercials on American television, your curiosity has now been answered.
Hint: the primary goal is not to sell drugs.
It may or may not come as a surprise, but TV pharmaceutical ads are illegal in every country besides the United States and New Zealand. One of the reasons for that is a big concern that pharmaceutical advertising could influence editorial decisions within media organizations.
And it seems those concerns are very legitimate because former pharma insider Calley Means unveiled on the Tucker Carlson Network Friday that the true goal of pharma ads on TV is not to sell drugs but, instead, is a “public relation lobbying tactic, essentially, to buy off the news.” He described this as an “open secret” working for pharma.
Holy smokes. Suspicions confirmed.
