Medical Disclaimers on Prime Time TV
Ben Vitale
Whenever I hear the Pharmaceutical company advertisement
disclaimers, I shut off the sound on my TV. The disclaimers are distasteful,
and I actually feel that they have a negative effect on the physical and mental
wellbeing of the listeners.
Every night just as I am about to sit down and eat dinner, I
find myself being forced to listen to medical disclaimers for Drug company
products. The FDA forces the Drug companies to air these disclaimers by law.
The drug companies simply do not have any choice!
Every 15 minutes the drug
companies keep telling us about the multitude of ill effects that we can get
from using their product; diarrhea, severe stomach pains, severe nausea,
vomiting, constipation, headache confusion, hallucinations, convulsions, Liver
problems, urinary tract infection, difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing,
and death. The drug companies are forced to recite the disclaimers to protect
themselves against FDA regulations and law suits.
What would happen if you were to advise a young child of
hundreds of ways that he could get sick. Every ten minutes, seven days a week! It
doesn’t take a college professor to come up with the answer! Honestly I have
been brainwashed one too many times by the disclaimers.
I believe that the FDA should eliminate the vocal
disclaimer, and replace it with a link to the disclaimer, on the Internet! Indirect
disclaimer presentation would spare the general public, the inadvertent
brainwashing effect of drug company advertisements.
I personally take control of my physical and mental
well-being, by using the power of positive thinking! I absolutely do not dwell
on anything negative, unless it is in the process of trying to develop a
solution. In my opinion I feel that
these constant bombardments of medical disclaimers are interfering with the
general public’s ability to deal with and control their own physical and mental
wellness.
