- AmericanChopper 3y agoThe reason it’s outdated in this case is because the pharmaceutical industry invested so much money and time into selling Prozac to the public, for a treatment that was ultimately ineffective, and then of course invested no money at all into correcting the public’s subsequent misunderstanding. So unlike what you’ve claimed, this isn’t a concept taken seriously only by naysayers who want to use it as a strawman. It’s a concept many members of the public generally believe to be true, because the experts spent so much time and money telling them it was.
