This seems somehow targeted. I am not a proponent of or detractor of J&J, but does anyone know how often this happens in medical sales? Every single medical device/item manufacturer needs to be sued then. How do docs decide what things to use? Sales.

Awww JnJ, the shit hole of a company that stills sells talc for babies with asbestos in it. And who can forget that great one dose Covid vaccine that help kill so many people

And the doctor doesn’t share in any responsibility here?

In any other industry this is called marketing.
