One of the commercials aired during the Super Bowl is drawing heated backlash from social media users.
With weight loss drugs like Ozempic becoming more mainstream, Hims and Hers decided to dedicate a full 60-second commercial to blasting obese Americans and the healthcare industry before pushing its own brand of weight loss drugs.
Watch:
The system wasn’t built to help us. It was designed to keep Americans sick & stuck. Let’s fight for a healthier America.
At Hims & Hers, we’re fighting back with care designed for you that’s accessible, affordable, & trustworthy. Because you deserve to feel great in your body:… pic.twitter.com/PhxvGDblIf

While many Americans would agree that the motivations of ‘Big Pharma’ are suspect, they also haw the hypocrisy coming from a company that they believe is doing the exact same thing.
Any HIMS consumer who experiences side effects of this drug should immediately sue the company for running Super Bowl ads not disclosing any risk whatsoever.
