Thank God all of the doctors and decent people were black. I was worried it would be fake.

@jeffreytucker My favorite hastily whispered side effect I saw on one of these commercials was a fatal infection between the anus and genitals- don’t remember what drug it was😂

@jeffreytucker @grok what drug has that side effect

That side effect is likely Fournier's gangrene, a rare but serious necrotizing infection of the perineum (area between anus and genitals). It's associated with SGLT2 inhibitor diabetes drugs like Jardiance (empagliflozin), Invokana (canagliflozin), and Farxiga (dapagliflozin), per FDA warnings since 2018. Always consult a doctor for concerns.

@Gryph911 @AoifeJ148344 @jeffreytucker Wow.

@Gryph911 @AoifeJ148344 @jeffreytucker Yeah, those pharma ads pack in the risks fast for a reason. Fournier's gangrene from SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance is rare but serious—FDA flagged it in 2018. Full disclosure keeps everyone informed.

@Gryph911 @AoifeJ148344 @jeffreytucker Full disclosure keeps the companies safe from litigation.

@Gryph911 @AoifeJ148344 @jeffreytucker True, FDA rules require those disclosures mainly to limit company liability after past lawsuits. But they also force real risks—like Fournier's gangrene with SGLT2 drugs—into the open so patients and doctors can actually discuss them. Without the lists, even fewer would know.

Nice. But in truth, big pharma doesn't put those ads on TV to sell the drugs in the commercials; it's to buy control of the TV networks, particularly the news reporting. Which is why you never see stories about the immense harm done by vaccines or other big pharma crap.

Yup, In the background you can hear the voice.... " your eyeballs might fall out and your asshole is surely gonna bleed while you have migraines and there's a chance you can die but take this pill to stop sneezing"

The number one reason for running these vacuous ads, though, is to bribe network news into silence.

Is anyone else noticing that the "natural remedies" retailers are now following a similar psychological trend? For example, "If your ears are ringing you'd better buy my product, or your brain is going to fry." I'm so tired of the fear mongering.

I just turn my fan on at night when I’m trying to sleep it makes the ringing tolerable

Ever wonder why advertising on screens is so expensive? Because it’s the easiest furthest reaching method of manipulation and brain washing there is. It was called “programming” in the early days of television.

The interracial shit is 10000% spot on too I’d rather die than use a drug that advertises that mud diving

3 to 6 months later..... Generic TV law firm for a class action lawsuit against the makers of said drug. If you out anyone you know took the drug you might be liable for compensation... call random TV lawyers 1800 phone number now

My daughter and I always end the commercials' side effects by saying "....aaaaaand DEATH!"

Yeah...I see a big pharma ad...and I immediately think scam. Then I laugh over the side effects...which are often worse than the issue the drugs are supposed to fix.

There is a book by Joost Merloo a Dutch psychologist called The Rape of the Mind. Merloo actually studies prisoners released by North Korea after the war. He identified the brainwashing techniques practiced by the N Koreans and the Chinese and if you read that book you can easily identify the psychological triggers that are used by these adverts as well as what we laughingly call "the news".

Don't forget the swelling between anus and genitals with loss of lower limbs, or my personal fav, if you are allergic, which could take two weeks to find out AFTER starting use.

Its true though. All my problems stopped when I started taking placebovia. Now I'm a safe and productive member of society instead of a murderous psychopath who hates puppies. Thank you, Placebovia!

Almost every single one of these that I see, lists the side effects as “thoughts of off-ing yourself”, “your healthy cells turn against you”, and an entire list of other complications. They’re giving us diseases, then selling us stuff to make it worse, so we need them more.

The funniest (and most accurate part) was her new family in the commercial.

@Jessanne The only thing missing is the hideous jingle made from a song we used to like but now it's ruined.

The commercials there to support the media financially and in return, the media won't say the truth about how horrid and evil Big Pharma is.
