Are there are other mechanisms for banning ads in the US?

Maybe through the FCC or some consumer protection legislation?

I don’t like bans in general so I’d probably be against it in principle even though I’m no fan of Big Pharma but I’ve got no direct experience with Pharma ads as they are banned here in Australia. The rest of the world seems to cope well enough without them. I think only the US and New Zealand allow them. I’m not sure if this is actually true but it something I’ve heard repeated many times, so it must be true 😀

As President, couldn’t RFK appoint a new head of the FDA, CDC and NIH of his choosing?

Seems like an ineffective measure, but it has good optics . There are better ways to fight pharma . Stop giving them Medicaid dollars! The cost of those barely approved drugs is insane ! Pharma is bankrupting Medicaid and Medicare . The whole system is broken . Doctors are working for pharma . Drugs are developed with profits in mind, not healing or helping .
