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 be surprising, but television pharmaceutical drug advertisements are illegal in every country except the United States and New Zealand. One reason for this is the great concern that pharmaceutical advertising can influence editorial decisions within media organizations.
These concerns appear to be very legitimate because a former pharmaceutical company insider Kali means Tucker Carlson revealed on Friday that the real goal of drug ads on television is not to sell drugs, but instead is a “public relations pressure tactic, essentially.” To buy newsHe described this as “Open secret“I work in a pharma company.

Tucker Carlson: You say that drug companies buy TV ads not to persuade people to order certain drugs from their doctors, but for the sake of it sabotage News business?
Kali means: this Open secret Working for Pharma.
Tucker Carlson: I never thought of it.
Kali means: This is an open secret of working in a pharma company. This is an open secret. The kind of silly ads you see between newscasts, that's not the point – it's largely to influence the customer. But pharmaceutical companies have already got it. They have already bought doctors. They're good at it.
No, this is an open secret. Spending on news advertising from pharmaceutical companies is a public relations lobbying tactic, essentially to buy news. They don't investigate drugs. The news essentially became a ruling. You're being terribly anti-science because you're asking why the doses that we're telling our kids to get, which basically through their advertising, are changing that child's immune system for life…
Even if you ask this question, the news judges you as anti-science. When the country's two largest vaccine makers Literally criminal enterprisesGlaxoSmithKline and Merck have stabilized in the past five years Two of the largest criminal penalties in US corporate history On charges of bribing doctors and conducting misleading research, the two largest vaccine manufacturers. So the media literally plays such a role in governance that you can't even ask a question.
Tucker Carlson: If you have a vaccine injury, and many people, including some I know well, even if it's a severe vaccine injury, you're not allowed to complain about it.
Kali means: No, you're “anti-science.”
Tucker Carlson: And if we can find out that this is a vaccine infection?
Kali means: The media plays the role of referee Because they are funded by it on all levels.
Tucker Carlson: This is so dark, Callie Means.
This video with Means and Carlson has received more than 2 million views on the platform. Al-Wasail issued a brief statement in response:
“This is one of the most important points every American needs to understand: The reason why drug money makes up more than 50% of TV news ad spending is not the effect on you. It's to influence the news itself. Pharma buys a direct line to news editors and tech companies. I have seen him.”
