Until very recently, a movement like MAHA seemed impossible to ever take place. I had followed the medical freedom movement long before COVID, and after the wave of school vaccine mandates in the late 2010s, it felt like our outlook could only continue to get worse, until COVID hit and things took a turn for the worse. Totalitarian mRNA vaccine mandates were enacted across the country, world leaders and the media were berating the unvaccinated and other dissidents, and every mainstream social media platform censored any opposition to this madness. Just like you and many others, I also felt helpless and powerless during the depressing winter of 2021-22.
If you have any basic knowledge of government cabinet positions, it is an absolute miracle how someone RFK Jr ended up as a nominee for secretary of HHS. Not only is he the absolute best person to take this role, but he has an immense amount of power. He will control the flow of trillions dollars and overlook 80,000 federal employees. Think about that for a moment.
The reversal of many decades of Pharma corruption is about to begin, but we cannot allow this MAHA coalition to self-implode. Think about how far we've come over the past couple of years. We cannot waste this opportunity and we must stick together. Instead of throwing around baseless "controlled opposition" allegations, put your efforts into helping RFK Jr get nominated as this is our next hurdle.
Although not entirely related to the above, when Trump gets inaugurated, the very first thing they must do is to try and remove pharmaceutical advertising as the Pharma-controlled media will criticize everything he does, and perhaps they will create wedge issues as a way to divide and weaken the MAHA coalition.
Re the above post on advertising, I spent many years as the head of a market research dept for a top 10 pharma company, In the late 90s and early 2000s part of my job was to assess the financial viability of advertising our drugs to the public. Not something I am particularly proud of now but it has put me in a fairly unique position to follow the events of the last few years with extreme skepticism. The following is an excerpt from a book I am about to publish (not promoting it here as it's on a different topic altogether) but it does give a peek into how advertising directly to the consumer has changed over time.
"Our research department spent millions working with marketing teams and advertising agencies creating ads that would drive patients to doctors to ask for our drugs. And we spent many more millions testing them to make sure we could actually make money on them especially in the early days of consumer advertising because there was nothing out there to compare it to. Complicated stuff that I won’t bore you with but suffice it to say there was a lot of work done before we rolled out any type of campaign to the general public. Eventually, I developed baseline criteria that had to be met before we would even consider running any campaign: a large patient population who suffered from the condition, acceptance of the drug by a large number of doctors, a safe drug, a condition that could be easily communicated, had product benefits that would resonate with consumers and be at a cost that wasn’t prohibitive and was covered by insurance. There were others but those were the minimum. Plus, we had to get through the FDA which wasn’t easy in those days. We often went back and forth with them for months tweaking words and pictures before we were allowed to run any kind of ad. An awful lot of time and money was dedicated to ensuring that these ads would make money for the company.
Which brings me to the current state of pharmaceutical advertising. They are everywhere, in print, on TV, and in all forms of social media. You can’t sneeze without seeing one. It’s overwhelming and it makes no sense! Most of these ads break every rule we ever had: small patient populations, rare conditions, expensive drugs, etc. It seems unlikely they could make any return on their investment with these types of ads.
So, a few or all of these could be true: the pharma companies are dumping money into these ads because they have nowhere else to put it; they are influencing the networks and social media that run them (i.e., positive coverage of the drug or at least no negative coverage); they are "creating awareness" of the condition, or they know that there is going to be an increase in the conditions being advertised for. One of the more interesting things I noted as we ran testing for these ads, was that not only did we see an increase in prescribing but also in the number of people being diagnosed with the condition it was meant to treat. I could never figure out why that happened and honestly, it was a small number and not always statistically significant but it was there and it bothered me. Now I know that that the power of suggestion is strong, especially with repetition. Think about how many times you have seen these ads and wondered if you had the condition or if you could get it. It embeds itself in your energy field and stays there. Are you more likely to get it? Who knows but why take the chance?"
Love your posts AMD and this forum. Please keep going...we are listening and sharing!!!
That would be awesome but before you do you should know I am now, very ironically given my pharma background, working as an energy healer and the book was created mostly for my clients who are experiencing the Ascension process or the Great Awakening as some call it. We are all experiencing it but only a few are really aware of what that means and many are having physical issues, emotional issues, spiritual issues, and all manner of "dark nights of the soul" and have no idea why this is happening. In reality, this is a good thing and is leading to some pretty amazing things for them but it can be very challenging when you are in the midst of it. This chapter was written to help these clients, who are primarily empaths, understand why these ads are so dangerous for everyone but particularly for them. Your work has been awesome but this is pretty far outside the norm so I wanted you to understand what the book was about before you decide to promote it! You did an amazing article a few months ago on transplant patients, especially heart transplants, that touched on the idea of energy exchange so I know you have some idea of what energy medicine is about but this is definitely not mainstream. Happy to send you the book so you can read it and then decide. It's going through a final proofing now. My email is christiekennedy812@gmail.com - just let me know.
Oh got it. That might be a bit outside what the general reader base is looking for. Probably the best way to do it then would be to discuss the pharma adds in detail and then mention it's from your book about spiritual healing.
Here is the chapter in its entirety. I'm good posting here or not. Totally understand if this is too out there though!
Those Horrible Drug Ads
Much of my career was dedicated to determining the most efficient ways to communicate the benefits of pharmaceutical products. Back in the late 90’s, while working at a top 5 big pharmaceutical company as the head of the market research department, I was heavily involved in creating and testing those drug commercials you now see all day every day in every form of media. In fact, I helped to write the book on how to do it. Not something I’m terribly proud of now but at the time, I thought all our drugs had a place in helping to heal people. And while I do believe some are beneficial, I now know many are detrimental and more often create new problems that need to be treated. A viscous cycle that is difficult to break especially since most doctors have been trained using algorithms that most often end in a drug being prescribed.
Our research department spent millions working with marketing teams and advertising agencies creating ads that would drive patients to doctors to ask for our drugs. And we spent many more millions testing them to make sure we could actually make money on them especially in the early days of consumer advertising because there was nothing out there to compare it to. Complicated stuff that I won’t bore you with but suffice it to say there was a lot of work done before we rolled out any type of campaign to the general public. Eventually I developed baseline criteria that had to be met before we would even consider running any campaign: a large patient population who suffered from the condition, acceptance of the drug by a large number of doctors, a safe drug, a condition that could be easily communicated, had product benefits that would resonate with consumers and be at a cost that wasn’t prohibitive and was covered by insurance. There were others but those were the minimum. Plus, we had to get through the FDA which wasn’t easy in those days.

An awful lot of time and money was dedicated to ensuring that these ads would make money for the company.

It embeds itself in your energy field and stays there. Are you more likely to get it? Who knows but why take the chance?
My last rant is on those ads that are directed at children. A huge “no-go” in my day and one that would cause the FDA to shut you down cold if there was even a hint that it could influence children. In some limited cases, you could advertise pediatric drugs to parents but most didn’t because it was such a fine line to walk and challenging to make money on. However, a few years ago, I was with my grandkids one morning and they were watching some kid’s channel. An ad came up for the covid 19 vaccine. It went something like “If you haven't been vaccinated, then ask your parents to make sure you are protected against the virus. You want to make sure you don’t give it to someone else.” Honestly you could have knocked me over with a feather. I was shocked. It was fear mongering to kids, taking away a parents’ right to do what they think is best for their children and it’s unethical under any circumstances. I was outraged and realized then that something was terribly wrong. I am not sure what has happened but I suspect the FDA has been compromised in some way to allow that to happen. Most likely due, in part, to the amount of money the pharmaceutical companies give to the FDA to help with staffing to review these ads; or at least that was the reason given at the time. The latest statistics show that almost three-quarters of their funding come from the pharmaceutical industry. In 2021, a total of $1.1 billion was given to the agency. A study from 2021 stated that the amount of money spent on direct-to-consumer advertising increased 460% from 1997 and 2016. An estimated $10 billion was spent in 2016 alone. This doesn’t cover the more recent years as these ads have exploded so these estimates are likely very conservative. The FDA and big pharma also have a revolving door between them and most of the recent heads of the FDA have also been high level pharma executives. Not a very objective way of making sure the drugs we are using and promoting are safe!
So, what to do? Don’t watch the ads! Mute the TV when these ads come on or scroll quickly through them if they come up on your phone or laptop. And if you are reading this book, you are likely an empath who will tend to pick up and retain the energy of them for a long time. So, don’t do it!
Thank you for this candid dive into the history of Pharmaceutical advertising. It has become head spinning and now I know that was all intentional. You are spot on about the children. Another target audience is the elderly. My parents are both in their late 80’s and see these ads for miraculous fixes to deter or eliminate the aches and pains of normal aging. Most of the actors cast in the ads are not more than 50 yrs old dancing about with lawnmowers and diving into pristine lakeside piers. Rarely do they show truly elderly people. Of course, my parents ask for these drugs they think will magically rejuvenate their mental and physical ability. The sad thing to me is that their doctor’s are all too willing to let them try them without question. Of course, I want them to be as comfortable as possible during these later years, but I fail to see the compassion in feeding them a pill for every symptom. This cycle of pharmaceutical advertising, government intervention/ Medicare rules, frustrated physicians and desperate seniors fallen prey to deceptive advertising is dark. It’s hard to accept how deeply money corrupts.
Sure happy to do it but let me know if you want it on here! I have a whole chapter on these ads including advertising the vaccine to children on kids programming something that was horrific and wouldn't have been allowed at all in my day.
No need to apologize, I truly appreciate your humility and honesty, however I also think your comments were very pertinent and an asset to this discussion.
.....might I also obtain your email address by PM here? Will have a comprehensive overview linking ALL my stated (at 'X' as WELL, in your DMSO-related Comments thread) GRAVE concerns about LIKELY pyroptosis as the Earth's EMF weakens to a DANGEROUS level, that I'd like to send you for further consideration, input.....thanks (once more)!
We who love A Midwestern Doctor are searching for Truth--especially spiritual truth. There will be a much larger fraction of people who want, like, buy your book here than most places. The catch is you just don't want to offend those with another spiritual path or other beliefs.
Thank you and yes good advice. It is only my view of the world and certainly there are many others and all valid as truth is relative to each. For me, Ascension doesn't preclude or supersede any religion. It is about allowing each to find their own way on their own path in whatever works for them.
Lovely, thank you. I am on your path but gentleness rather than avoidance may be more pertinent. Perhaps now is past the time to avoid ruth for the fear of offending (and fully possible, I cede, that I have misread the intent of the comments above).
That's great and it's an awesome path to be walking especially now. That said, in my experience, trying to persuade in any manner other than setting an example doesn't work. I believe there will come a day when we are all awake and aware, but I don't think we are there yet. I will remain optimistic until then!
I worked in Television my entire career, and the purpose of Drug Ads on TV wasn't to sell more drugs. Once the primary investor in ALL broadcast TV and News was Big Pharma, no journalist could ever question their products. ALL investigative journalism into the problems with vaccines and other drugs STOPPED, because that would have threatened their main advertiser.
Wow! I have suspected as much but haven't worked in the industry since 2017 but it makes perfect sense. Hoping more and more wake up to what is happening so we can stop it. Thanks for posting.
True! A great number of ads point to a condition and to ask your doctor if you have it, along with a place to check your "symptoms." Many of them seem universal enough that many people will be sucked in.
Would you consider that big pharma is also keeping the cooperative Main Stream Media in business as the internet has severely cut into MSM business income (ie drop in viewership)?
According to my research, in 2023, big pharma was the second largest industry in TOTAL ad spending across all industries, investing about $18 bn with about $6 bn going to TV. I think it's a very good bet that they are primarily responsible for propping the networks up and for making sure there is no/minimal negative coverage of pharma or the vaccines. Also, regarding someone else's comments on her elderly parents asking for what they are seeing advertised, and who are the prime targets for their drugs, it makes sense they would continue to advertise there. Most of the younger generation is going to alternate sources for their info although the GLP-1s (weight loss injections which have very serious side effects) seem to be targeting the younger generations (and everyone else!) so big pharma does appear to be following them along too. Not sure how sustainable this will be moving forward as their credibility is waning and efforts like this substack are definitely having an impact.
Cutting out pharma advertising will have the knock on effect of cutting off some of the revenue of the corrupt MainStream Media and this hopefully will put some out of business. Government advertising is the next big source of MSM income and Trump can cut that directly as well.
PS. I sent money to help with RFK's security costs to help keep him alive until he is eligible for Secret Service Protection. It is one way we can all help with the cause.
What is crazy however, is the fact that his life would be in danger from those that simply disagree with his ideas or agility to express them!! Our nation has changed horribly!
changed yes, but lives of those who had the power to effect real change have been in danger for decades. They murdered JFK, RFK, and MLK because they were perceived as a threat to the CIA/US miliary/US foreign policy establishment. Those murders happened 60 years ago.
You can also help out by contacting your state's senators and asking them to vote YES on RFK Jr's nomination to ensure he gets in. I know it doesn't do a lot but it could be beneficial if we can get enough people to convince the senators who are on the fence or have no opinion on RFK Jr and MAHA, as they will (hopefully) vote according to their constituents.
HIs security costs are staggering. He's spent most of his life working for the people....the least you can do is help him help us. Reason why we are where are is people like you! Someone else will or can take care of it.
I feel the same excitement about MAHA. I never thought things would move so fast. What is so confusing to me was how quickly my liberal friends went from "stop injecting cows with antibiotics and hormones" and "stop GMOs" to "its a pandemic of the unvaccinated." How quickly the psychological operation to shift the public's personal morals was mind blowing.
MAHA would take a miracle! People would have to awaken to the truth...Medical Care is NOT Health Care. Drugs and vaccines are toxic and don't belong in the human body. Health starts with healthy nutritious food and a healthy lifestyle. Hippocrates knew more about health 2500 years ago than then most doctors know today. His quote: "Let Food be Your Medicine; and Medicine be Your Food!
Until very recently, a movement like MAHA seemed impossible to ever take place. I had followed the medical freedom movement long before COVID, and after the wave of school vaccine mandates in the late 2010s, it felt like our outlook could only continue to get worse, until COVID hit and things took a turn for the worse. Totalitarian mRNA vaccine mandates were enacted across the country, world leaders and the media were berating the unvaccinated and other dissidents, and every mainstream social media platform censored any opposition to this madness. Just like you and many others, I also felt helpless and powerless during the depressing winter of 2021-22.
If you have any basic knowledge of government cabinet positions, it is an absolute miracle how someone RFK Jr ended up as a nominee for secretary of HHS. Not only is he the absolute best person to take this role, but he has an immense amount of power. He will control the flow of trillions dollars and overlook 80,000 federal employees. Think about that for a moment.
The reversal of many decades of Pharma corruption is about to begin, but we cannot allow this MAHA coalition to self-implode. Think about how far we've come over the past couple of years. We cannot waste this opportunity and we must stick together. Instead of throwing around baseless "controlled opposition" allegations, put your efforts into helping RFK Jr get nominated as this is our next hurdle.
Although not entirely related to the above, when Trump gets inaugurated, the very first thing they must do is to try and remove pharmaceutical advertising as the Pharma-controlled media will criticize everything he does, and perhaps they will create wedge issues as a way to divide and weaken the MAHA coalition.
I 100% agree with you and was in the same position you were in the 2010s.

Thank you for this candid dive into the history of Pharmaceutical advertising. It has become head spinning and now I know that was all intentional. You are spot on about the children. Another target audience is the elderly. My parents are both in their late 80’s and see these ads for miraculous fixes to deter or eliminate the aches and pains of normal aging. Most of the actors cast in the ads are not more than 50 yrs old dancing about with lawnmowers and diving into pristine lakeside piers. Rarely do they show truly elderly people.

ALL investigative journalism into the problems with vaccines and other drugs STOPPED, because that would have threatened their main advertiser.
Wow! I have suspected as much but haven't worked in the industry since 2017 but it makes perfect sense. Hoping more and more wake up to what is happening so we can stop it. Thanks for posting.
True! A great number of ads point to a condition and to ask your doctor if you have it, along with a place to check your "symptoms." Many of them seem universal enough that many people will be sucked in.
Would you consider that big pharma is also keeping the cooperative Main Stream Media in business as the internet has severely cut into MSM business income (ie drop in viewership)?
According to my research, in 2023, big pharma was the second largest industry in TOTAL ad spending across all industries, investing about $18 bn with about $6 bn going to TV. I think it's a very good bet that they are primarily responsible for propping the networks up and for making sure there is no/minimal negative coverage of pharma or the vaccines. Also, regarding someone else's comments on her elderly parents asking for what they are seeing advertised, and who are the prime targets for their drugs, it makes sense they would continue to advertise there. Most of the younger generation is going to alternate sources for their info although the GLP-1s (weight loss injections which have very serious side effects) seem to be targeting the younger generations (and everyone else!) so big pharma does appear to be following them along too. Not sure how sustainable this will be moving forward as their credibility is waning and efforts like this substack are definitely having an impact.
Unfortunately my stepson is on Ozempic (weighs 420lbs). Nothing we can say can convince him to give it up.
Cutting out pharma advertising will have the knock on effect of cutting off some of the revenue of the corrupt MainStream Media and this hopefully will put some out of business. Government advertising is the next big source of MSM income and Trump can cut that directly as well.
Excellent point!
I will second that, Fred!
Love it!
PS. I sent money to help with RFK's security costs to help keep him alive until he is eligible for Secret Service Protection. It is one way we can all help with the cause.
What is crazy however, is the fact that his life would be in danger from those that simply disagree with his ideas or agility to express them!! Our nation has changed horribly!
changed yes, but lives of those who had the power to effect real change have been in danger for decades. They murdered JFK, RFK, and MLK because they were perceived as a threat to the CIA/US miliary/US foreign policy establishment. Those murders happened 60 years ago.
You can also help out by contacting your state's senators and asking them to vote YES on RFK Jr's nomination to ensure he gets in. I know it doesn't do a lot but it could be beneficial if we can get enough people to convince the senators who are on the fence or have no opinion on RFK Jr and MAHA, as they will (hopefully) vote according to their constituents.
He's a multimillionaire, he doesn't need my hard earned, over taxed money. Shame on him for even accepting such funds.
HIs security costs are staggering. He's spent most of his life working for the people....the least you can do is help him help us. Reason why we are where are is people like you! Someone else will or can take care of it.
I feel the same excitement about MAHA. I never thought things would move so fast. What is so confusing to me was how quickly my liberal friends went from "stop injecting cows with antibiotics and hormones" and "stop GMOs" to "its a pandemic of the unvaccinated." How quickly the psychological operation to shift the public's personal morals was mind blowing.
MAHA would take a miracle! People would have to awaken to the truth...Medical Care is NOT Health Care. Drugs and vaccines are toxic and don't belong in the human body. Health starts with healthy nutritious food and a healthy lifestyle. Hippocrates knew more about health 2500 years ago than then most doctors know today. His quote: "Let Food be Your Medicine; and Medicine be Your Food!
