Worth noting this was "Issued by Global Policy & International Public Affairs, Pfizer Inc." (a large pharmaceuticals company) in October 2015 and there is an odd phrase in the footer that reads "Do Not Detail."

"Detail", in pharma parlance, refers to making sales presentations to physicians. The people who do this were once called "detail men".[1] This has declined somewhat now that pharma can advertise prescription drugs directly to patients.
