RFK Jr Wants To Ban Pharmaceutical Ads On TV

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

I completely support this. The American public gets enough pHARMa crammed down their throats without being indoctrinated by their TV's to walk into the "doctor's" office and demand the drug they want because they thought the ad was full of well-dressed, smiling people who were ostensibly "cured".

Godspeed!

The TV media will lobby hard against it as their major source of funding.

Big Pharma’s media takeover: How drug companies bought the news — and your health

In the mid-2000s, pharmaceutical companies formed financial partnerships with major media corporations, leveraging billions in advertising dollars to influence news coverage and suppress critical reporting on drug safety. Investigative reports on vaccine risks and flu shot inefficacy — once...

Yes, please ban those ads.

 

[MisterBeale]

Not just TV, but I read that the real worry for Big Pharm, was that it won't end there.

Can you imagine no more drug ads on your radio or creeping on you around the net?

Those advertisements only add to the price of a prescription

Only doctors can write prescriptions
There is no reason to market to patients

I believe the ads are aimed at an extremely small segment of the population. Affected patients and doctors. Neither command the money spent on the ads. Total tax write off for big pharma. I'd love to get through a news broadcast without hearing "I have type 2 diabetes but I manage it well...."

Now that's socially responsible reform!

Something the magas will gladly take up their as-es willingly because they don't understand that it's social reform!

Wiser Americans (the very wealthy) will recognize it immediately as being a huge threat to the 'American way'.

Shhhhhh! Don't anybody tell Trump.

They are not even serving the public.

At least the old Liberty medical commercials did.

 

[WEATHER53]

Dumb ass ads that go on Endlessly about adverse reactions as if anyone could remember all that

Or the HIV medication commercials. Absolutely no interest in them

Many pharma companies list advertising as part of R & D costs.

Well, we agree on something!

And what's great is that almost every ad says, in one way or another, that THIS DRUG CAN KILL YOU, and people keep taking them.

I watched it happen to someone I love.

Thank you!

Yep.....Hey, maybe this will bring both sides together and start agreeing on something!

I bet Big Pharma would hate to see an up or down poll on the issue.

You also can't pick up a magazine that does not have about 25% of its pagers devoted to pHARMa.

The disclaimers are hilarious--"adverse reactions including death have been known to occur." Gee I want to run right down to my doctor and order him to prescribe that. LMAO

I'm not sure that magazines would ever be included.

Though I haven't bought a physical magazine in years, IIRC, that is the one media where beer and hard alcohol ads are still allowed. . . though, not tobacco products.

We shall see.
