Attorney adverts should be banned too.

No, thank you.

Now if they want to also stop personal injury law firms from advertising (actually: trolling for clients), I might consider it.

Either way, government should not possess such power over commercial speech in a free country.

Excerpt:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s Health Secretary pick, just launched a bombshell move to ban Big Pharma ads on TV, and it’s a direct strike at the heart of networks like CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC—leaving Trump supporters cheering and the left in panic.




It’s actually insane that the U.S. is one of only TWO countries on Earth that allows pharmaceutical ads on TV. Think about that. Entire generations brainwashed by Big Pharma commercials between sitcoms and football games.

Is banning free-market commercial advertisements on privately owned television media now a Conservative thing?

Ask tobacco companies about that.

I must admit I'd be fine with an end to ads with two guys sucking face, for starters.

Well yeah, the same question applies.  I don't agree with that ban either.

1.) How will I know what to ask for at the doctor's office to treat my Erectile Dysfunction, Peyronie's Disease (Bent Carrot), Type 2 Diabetes, Morbid Obesity, and Restless Leg Syndrome?

2.) Will cigarette ads be returning to TV?

What's the reason for this?  The ads -- as annoying as they are -- include a list of known side effects and require a doctor's prescription.  That's more than can be said for COVID vaccines.

I see the sentiment but guess I'd rather push for full disclosure than banning. They are annoying but so many Docs push drugs these days that I see them throwing stuff at you without telling you anything of the downsides.

That's because the Covid vaccines never underwent full testing as any regular drug has to, instead they were fast-tracked under "Emergency Use Authorization" (EUA).

But, a drug can only get that EUA if it's proved that there are no other common treatments available ... which is why the FDA had to falsely declare ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as ineffective.

Many layers to that onion, some still to be peeled ...

If reports are true—and I pray they are—that RFK Jr. is gonna ban Big Pharma ads on TV, a massive society earthquake is about to happen on two fronts.

#1: The corporate media will fail. You will watch before your very eyes as highly paid MSM anchors are fired, networks panic & some shut down, and paychecks aren’t paid. The entire business of MSM is a fake business. It’s artificially propped up by massive ad dollars from Pharma ads. Not because of the return on investment that Pharma sees peddling their drugs on TV, but rather because of WHY Pharma buys so many TV ads in the first place, which is to prevent reporting on Pharma corruption.

#2: Accordingly, when the gravy chain of Pharma ad dollars to TV networks stops, we will suddenly see reporting on the corruption of Big Pharma, drugs, vaccines, medical associations like AAP & AMA, and govt regulation agencies like CDC & FDA—reporting that was previously prohibited because the ad money Pharma paid networks was really just a pay off for silence. Pharma knew they didn’t sell drugs off those commercials, it was a money laundering scheme to keep reporters silent about the abuses coming out of Pharma. Even Roger Ailes once admitted he didn’t let his people on Fox report negatively on Pharma because it would destroy their bottom line.

If reports are true—and I pray they are—that RFK Jr. is gonna ban Pharma ads on TV, the double revolution of Big Pharma & MSM is about to begin.

Can’t wait.

Reallocate the money to giving doctors more free samples to get them to push expensive drugs over alternatives. It was amazing seeing the drug peddlers that visited vets and pushed their wares. Lots of freebies given to vets to place displays in their little salesroom for people to see. No telling how much Iam overpriced dog food got pushed by vets. How did a dog live before Iam came along. It was as if people for centuries mistreated their dogs/cats by denying them the "good stuff".
