Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to ban drug ads on TV. It wouldn’t be easy - West Hawaii Today
Since the late 1990s, drug companies have spent tens of billions of dollars on television ads, drumming up demand for their products with cheerful jingles and scenes of dancing patients.
You're viewing a single thread.
For as many foolish things Kennedy has talked about wanting to institute, a drug ad ban is not one of them. Kinda awesome, actually.
Not exactly worth the damage he's gonna do, though.
Honestly….. if we can rule out the “vaccine” shit…. Then maybe?
The issue is the people who don't or who no longer make it mandatory at schools and all of a sudden polio and measles make a massive comeback for the immune compromised
No no, I understand that vaccines are important, you misunderstand my statement.
“If we get rid of rfk’s vaccine bullshit”
I'll still be in a labor camp for the crime of having ADHD, but sure, take away his stance on vaccines and it'll all be good
(sorry for being snippy, just pointing out that the vaccine bullshit is just one of the layers of awful he wants to implement, and the drug ad ban is one of the few not horrible things I've heard from him)
You’re being overly sensitive here, I gave you the win already.
And no you can’t blame your ADHD for the sensitivity, I have it too.
Chill my guy. I’m no rfk supporter, nor maga enthusiast.
What the hell are you talking about, gave me the win? What does that even mean? That was the only time I've ever replied to you.
Whether you meant to or not, you sounded like you were saying the main problem with him was the vaccines, without that he's not that bad; I was pointing out that he's promised a lot more bad things than that. I wasn't even mad or upset or being overly sensitive about it (prickly, maybe, at least in presentation).
I didn't even accuse you of being an RFK or maga supporter.
And now you're doing the whole dismissive "don't be so sensitive" bullshit. Just... Don't do that.
“I’d still be in a labor camp” is a bit extreme, no?
Yeah you’re still hyper sensitive here, I’m not even fighting you. That’s my point.
Hi, not the other guy, but I just thought I might try to help.
They're referring to RFK jr saying he would like to place ADHD and Adderall treated patients into "no technology wellness farms". He doesn't call them labor camps, but forced labor and limited outside contact on a government endorsed farm does indeed sound like a labor camp.
The trouble you might be having is that RFK jr has done and said so much crazy and dangerous shit that it's hard to keep track of how awful he is. The vaccine shit is probably top of the list, but there's so much more. Even if he compromised on 1 thing, there's still going to be a long list of awful threats he's made to our protective institutions and people, and they may be a little oversensitive if you gloss over them.
He’s said he’s going to completely halt all infectious disease research.
Ow my brain.
No, still horrifying unfortunately.
Watch what they do, not what they say. Trump makes empty promises all the time. I'm sure the same is true of Maggot Brain.
I believe that wormfood wants to ban the ads, just no way it’s gonna happen.
He would be fired by trump before this would happen. The reason it is still allowed is because of interest money and this administration is all about money. The only way I would see such ban happening would be banning those ads on TV while enabling them on social media.
Maybe the play is that he threatens to ban them until drug companies talk to him at a dinner and discuss much needed financial support for this administration's projects.
That's how trump works, so it is possible that this is the idea.
