I’ve banned myself from anything that claims to make my colon lining appearance 90% improved.

Big pharmaceutical has flooded the Ozempic zone so badly that it has made a mockery of the consumer with medical needs. Shameful.

It will radically change media if he does. And I hope he does.

One of the biggest sources of ad revenue is pharma

The COVID vaccines did not kill millions. They saved millions. Do some research instead of relying upon falsehoods spread by the anti-vaxxers.

“If they can ban cigarette commercials and others”

I still recall seeing the Flintstones pimping Winston cigarettes

1. No product that can only be sold with government approval should be advertised anywhere.

2. No product whose manufacturer is shielded from product liability lawsuits should even exist — let alone be advertised.

There’s a whole line of SCOTUS cases addressing commercial free speech. IIRC, the first such case involved a pharmacy advertising. It’s been 42 years since I had to read the cases and the name escapes me.

Drug ads on TV aren’t aimed at consumers.

They’re basically bribes that are paid to TV networks to ensure favorable media coverage of vaccine mandates and other examples of corrupt pharma-government fascism.

You are delusional, at best if you believe the COVID vaccine saved anyone.

I never took the vaccine and never caught it. Most EVERYONE I know who did take it caught it. Some died.

This checks out with national numbers. Even the government admitted that those who took the vaccine caught COVID at higher rates than those who did not.

And why they should be banned.

One very recent ad mentioned “Death” as a side effect.

(Which, I guess it is).

If they can ban cigarette ads, they can ban pharmaceutical ads.

A few of them do now, as well as “don’t take if you’re allergic” - how am I supposed to know without taking it? It’s not as though the ingredients are going to be well-known.

Findings In this cross-sectional study of US adults hospitalized with COVID-19 during January 2022 to April 2022 (during Omicron variant predominance), COVID-19-associated hospitalization rates were 10.5 times higher in unvaccinated persons and 2.5 times higher in vaccinated persons with no booster dose, respectively, compared with those who had received a booster dose. Compared with unvaccinated hospitalized persons, vaccinated hospitalized persons were more likely to be older and have more underlying medical conditions.

They shouldn't be able to ban cigarette ads.

“ Don’t know the details of how cigarette ads were banned.”
They also banned liquor ads. I think the Black Velvet company had some good ones. That company was once a whole industry hiring nice young girls for the high IQ level…👀

If you can not buy it without a prescription, you should not be advertising it.
