Pittsburg, Kansas | Yep.
One of the biggest drug profits in history. Basically their gravy train they don't want to give up.
All a person has to understand is the difference between relative risk and absolute risk. Once a person understands that and looks at the drug companies own data, it becomes evident that many many people have to be treated to get only one who has better outcomes.
They also understate side effects by having a "run in" before the trials eliminating any potential trial participants who do not "tolerate" the drug. So the "only a few percent have adverse side effects". Only true because anyone who had trouble taking the drug was eliminated from the trial before the official trial started.
But the TV advertising works. They don't lie. They just don't tell the whole truth. Lies by omission I would call it.
