To make my point, I need to establish a truth. Why do companies spend Billion$ advertising products and services? It's simple - they know it works. They track their advertising $pend and adjust it in response. Small companies do it on a smaller scale. This is not a secret. Advertising is just another form of propaganda. Advertising, propaganda, public psy-ops, political news, it's all the same thing packaged up a little differently where words and ideas are used to infect people's minds. It can be informative, useful, neutral, nefarious, harmful, or evil.
Anyone noticed the rise in pharma advertising lately? It's for every little thing, and some big things. I don't watch much TV, but I've noticed the change. And it's for a lot of the same things people on this board discovered about the vaccines over the last couple years - HIV, blood pressure, diabetes, blood clots, heart and liver issues, etc.
I think big pharma is using their advertising $ to get people used to idea that it's normal to have health issues, and BTW they have a drug for that.
At the same time, when I catch the local weather and traffic report before work, there's almost always someone pushing the covid vax - whether it's an ad or a quicky news spot before the weather report - Get your vax today! Before some unknown variant gets you....
Good point about the Defibs. They are all over work now. A few years back, they maybe had 1 or 2. Granted, they are cheaper and easier to use than before, but they are becoming ubiquitous.
