Summary

Pharma giant Pfizer reportedly spent over $14,000,000 for a 60-second ad during the 2024 Super Bowl, promoting a website about breakthrough cancer medicines. “This isn’t about products, people!” writes Alex Berenson. “This is about feels. And science. And how science makes us feel!” Alex Berenson covered the drug industry as a reporter for the New York Times. He is an Edgar Award–winning writer of bestselling thrillers, and a freelance journalist. His book “Pandemia: How Coronavirus Hysteria Took Over Our Government, Rights, and Lives” is his own investigation into the pandemic. In it, he asserts that our response to it “has been an epic overreaction driven by a disastrous confluence of public and private interests – all of them purporting to ‘follow the science.’” Follow him at https://alexberenson.com and https://alexberenson.substack.com 「 SPONSORED BY 」 Find out more about the companies that make this show possible and get special discounts on amazing products at https://drdrew.com/sponsors • COZY EARTH - Susan and Drew love Cozy Earth's sheets & clothing made with super-soft viscose from bamboo!
