There is absolutely a blitzkrieg of pharmaceutical ads. For practically every show on cable tv channels, 7 or 8 out of every 10 ads is for an ever expanding array of prescription pharmaceuticals.....you see a new one pop up just about every day. What's really interesting is that most of these are monoclonal antibody drugs....immune system effectors. I'm canceling my cable permanently. It's ludicrous that you pay a couple hundred dollars per month for cable and then you have to sit and watch this B.S. The idea used to be that you go to the doctor, they do the diagnosis and prescribe whatever they decide that you need...that's why they make the fat stacks.
Don’t bother with canceling cable…I dropped the u-verse three months ago and subscribed to hulu+tv and there is ZERO difference in the amount of pharma ads. We already proved ourselves to be a nation of compliant, mask wearing hypochondriacs.
