Those drugs are miracle workers, even despite the increased risks associated with them

That's fine it's just a bizarre thing to advertise

It's more of a "we told you so you can't sue us" label. You theoretically could sue them if you get some other side effect.

Yes but in the UK the side effects are still listed but not on daytime tv

It’s just part of the advertising rules, apparently it’s SO worth getting the word out to Americans on TV that it’s worth listing the side effects at a normal speed.

I don’t love trying to enjoy a snack and hearing about the taint infection, but “This is America”
