Maybe it’s because everything he does opens in a new tab or window.

Why don’t he just tell the 500 billion dollar industry to shut down all tv?
(90 percent of the commercials I see are for drugs)

Same reason Trump is president and people ignore him and ignore that fact

Drug companies have Amendment I rights.

In my youth, health insurance didn’t pay for drugs.

I’m 66. I’ve never had an outpatient drug paid for by insurance.

In my youth, I was covered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield hospitalization. My mother wrote checks to pay for doctor visits and prescriptions.

The Citizens United decision would suggest that corporations have free speech rights.

The problem is probably with the Administrative Procedures Act. It takes a while to change the rules, and requires notice and time for public comment. RFK, Jr., may be able to shut down new ads, i.e., those not yet approved, but those that have already been approved are a problem.

Anything where the pharma industry is involved is going to take a long time and a lot of court battles. They won’t go away quietly.

Because the FDA doesn’t have anywhere near that kind of authority. The FCC might be able to ban them on broadcast, but even then that leaves cable, satellite and the internet wide open. We don’t live in a dictatorship, the government’s power are DELIBERATELY limited.

Fox News alone would lose 3/4ths of its sponsors…

A little editing on your part to delete the 23 “new tab or windows” would have made your post readable.

How about if a drug is advertised on TV, it’s cost could not be paid by insurance?

This Doctor is trying to bring vaccines developed from T Cells, which increase the power of the immune system, not just help for vaccines that are targetting disease. It would boost the T cells to recognize diseases from all sources.

What? You don't like watching 50 diabetes patients singing and dancing in the streets, wondering which one is going to keel over from a heart attack?

Everybody wants their pet thing done NOW. His priority list might be different for good reason. Let these people do their jobs.

Bates v. State Bar of Arizona &
Virginia State Pharmacy Board v. Virginia Citizens Consumer Council

Corporations also have 1st Amendment rights.

If you can’t prove that drug adverts UNIVERSALLY AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION cause doctors to over-prescribe (or other deleterious consequences), then the industry’s 1st Amendment rights must be respected.
