They really should be, cpa firms aren’t allowed to run ads. Big pharma sure as hell shouldn’t be allowed.

Duh, thats how media has been funded for over 100 years.
Are you saying advertising is bad?

Yes.
That $$$ should be spent on R&D.
We spend more on pharma marketing than R&D.
Imagine the good drugs that aren't invented because of the $$ essentially wasted on marketing.

Pharmaceutical advertising is designed to stave off investigatiive journalism from highly resourced legacy media companies by simply paying media companies off. If they sell a few extra drugs that’s just a side benefit.

I think you confuse conservatism with anarchism or libertarianism. Conservatives aren’t anti-government. They are for limited government. The government has a role in our lives as laid out in the constitution.
Lmao. Hardly. I, as a self-reliant adult, have the ability to discern between information that may be truthful, partially true, or just flat out false.
And while I might agree with the sentiment expressed in this thread, I have a major, major issue with the government being the arbiter of what I can and can’t hear because it is a very slippery slope that can be turned against people based on the whims of whatever political party has power.
I just don’t like the government being the wise one protecting me. And that is a pretty fricking conservative point of view.

That is absolutely false.
shite, people. Some of yall are as bad as the ignorant blue hairs who just repeat whatever AOC tells them. Just doing 10 seconds of minimal research (You’re either posting a computer or smart phone) would show this as completely wrong.

Stop medical device DTC advertising as well.

Pharmaceuticals sales and manufacturing are very, very, very, very, far from free markets.

Couple of interesting things I read from The Real Anthony Fauci book:
1. Before 1997, journalists “could be journalists.” For example, Mike Wallace exposed corruption at the HHS and the NIH with the swine flu.
2. Before 1997, the FDA did not allow pharmaceutical advertising on tv.
They’re bought and paid for now. If you haven’t read this book, you’re missing out on some well-researched, well-documented, mind-blowing information. I could go on and on about things I’ve learned from this book.
Oh and
3. The FDA receives 45% of its budget from the pharmaceutical industry.

Who's going to stop them? Everyone in Congress is on their payroll.

The last 7 or 8 years has demonstrated the globalists intent and control of the federal government. In its present corrupted and rotten condition, I trust nothing it does not says.
Every single decision this administration makes is bad for America and it's tax paying citizens. Every single one.

That is a completely separate issue. This thread is about advertising. And the minute we allow government to control what people can say, see, or hear, we have an issue. Censorship is not a conservative principle in any way, shape, form, or fashion.
This is one of the fundamental problems that I do have with Republicans masquerading as conservatives. Either 1) they aren’t conservative to begin with or 2) they just aren’t that smart in thinking things through.
So let’s ban pharmaceutical advertising. Great. Wonderful. Mission accomplished until the political winds change and the party in power starts banning other things that we conservatives, like. And if that happens, I guarantee you that everyone in this thread would be outraged.

Stupid symbolic populism. Dumb people dont understand how systems work.
Banning pharma ads will do nothing.

I support this. It should come directly out of the drug pricing too. Since they're now saving money advertising on tv...

How much money do you think Pfizer got from FedGov in 2020 and 2021?
