Dr Jarvik T.V. Commercial
is Fraudulent
If you watch any amount of television, you've undoubtedly seen the onslaught of pharmaceutical ads that run during commercial breaks. One such ad for Lipitor, which has been run countless times over the past few years, is now under fire after a congressional committee questioned its authenticity.
The Lipitor ads feature Dr. Robert Jarvik, who, according to the New York Times, is not a cardiologist or even a licensed doctor.And he's most certainly not a rower, as the ad depicts. But that's not the way the makers of the number one selling drug in the world portray him in the TV ads.
Some earlier versions of the TV ads also made the claim that Jarvik is the inventor of the artificial heart, which is misleading. The credit should actually go to Drs. Willem J. Kolff and Tetsuzo Akutsu, said former Jarvik colleagues. Jarvik is actually credited with making improvements on the artificial heart. These ads were later changed to say that he invented "the Jarvik artificial heart."
The House Energy & Commerce Committee is still proceeding with its investigation into Pfizer and their misleading Lipitor ads.
