I was in the car one day, and an advert came on for an LVAD. This is a Left Ventricle Assistance Device for heart failure patients. I only knew this from some crazy episodes of Grey's Anatomy back in the day. Am I supposed to demand an LVAD from my doctor, because I heard an ad on the radio? Why on earth would I be recommending heart assistive device to a cardiologist? I mean, the gravity of what we unleashed really hit at that moment. I don't trust most med professionals, but it's a bridge too far to have patients demanding a type or brand of heart device with no medical training. Also, that device will probably expedite your death, LOL.

We need public financing of all elections, totally capped, with no PAC or corporate funding, 10 year bans from being hired in industries you regulated. No direct to consumer drug advertising, no mandates on any product where the manufacturer has liability protection. If they won't take the risk, we can't offload it one others. Just to get started.

Let me run it down for you:

Tv stations get paid by advertisers.

TV Stations report ‘news’

TV stations select the ‘news’ stories they want to cover &

TV stations DO NOT PICK STORIES THAT SHOW THEIR BIG ADVERTISERS IN A BAD LIGHT…

Big Pharma pays BANK to

all the media

so all the media who allegedly report ‘news’ OWE THEIR WHOLE TV STATION’S BUDGET TO BIG PHARMA COMPANIES so they don’t pick ‘news’ stories outing their biggest payers…

Do you see why it doesn’t matter wtf 💉 💊 they pitch during the ad?

It’s really just a bonus if you happen to remember cialis or Xanax next time you’re at the dr office.

Annnd there’s also the fact that the whole u.s.media news & entertainment & ‘controlled opposition,’ too

has been owned by the cia since operation mockingbird when they took it over back in 1953- PURPOSE = TO CONTROL PUBLIC OPINION

TV was invented 1927

DYK TV WAS INVENTED TO BE A MIND CONTROL DEVICE?

They don’t call it ‘programming’ for nuthin’😎

Good points. Drug and medical device ads are on TV all day long. Wth would I want any medications that need constant advertising rather than a doctor’s preference to choose for my health. Then we have to listen to the side effects, knowing it’s not even all, but ‘truth in advertising’ makes them admit. It’s all ridiculous.
