Pfizer spent $2.8 billion on ads in 2022 and $2 billion in 2021.

This is not government spending, not some omnibus bill by Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden.  It's spending by a corporation, and only one area of their business: marketing.  I mean even the Pentagon is blushing, or chafing, at these numbers.   

$3.8bil in 2010
$3.6bil in 2011
$2.8bil in 2012
$3bil in 2013
$3.1bil in 2014
$3.1bil in 2015
$3.2bil in 2016
$3.1bil in 2017
$2.7bil in 2018
$2.3bil in 2019
$1.8bil in 2020
$2bil in 2021
$2.8bil in 2022

So average $2.76 billion per year over the last 12 years.
