No other country allows drug companies to advertise their poisons on television.

90% of the corporate gaslight "news" media revenue is "Brought to you by Pfizer," which is why the corporate gaslight "news" media never has any bad news about Pfizer or the rest of the pharmaceutical industry.

Some of the side effects are worse than smoking cigarette.

Like everyone else except crooked big pharma, and the FDA, I hate those ads.

However, the ban would be chipping away at the First Amendment. Just as gun bans are chipping away at the Second Amendment.

The drug commercials on TV in Florida are relentless. And they are beyond annoying. Television commercials in Florida are basically:

Drugs
Injury attorneys
Insurance
Car sales

I say ban the first 3.

Lawyers should be advertising on TV either. I remember when it was illegal.

Drug ads make not be on TV either.

Americans are addicted to their health and to having others pay to maintain it.

Those drug ads are hilarious. The possible side-effects list is longer than the advantages given to take the damn things.

A lot of drugs advertised on TV list a bevy of side effects. I have a friend whose son took Tylenol on a regular basis for years for back pain. He now has liver damage caus3d by the Tylenol so bad that he’s been given 5 years to live and he is in constant pain. I have recently seen ads for Tylenol on TV and nowhere does it mention that it can cause liver damage.

Six months ago: “Do you have the ailment du jour? Ask your doctor if Slithytoveral is right for you. May cause all these side effects”.

Today: “Did you or a loved one take Slithytoveral and suffer horribly or die? Call 1-800-BAD-DRUG ...”

And i thought those 3 minute phone card commercials from the 90’s were bad..
Pill commercials drive me nut.
If the pill was any good any decent doctor would prescribe it to you anyway why need an ad?
And what decent doctor would take medical advice from a patient that gets his/her information from a tv commercial?
