Trump Moves to Crack Down on Drug Advertising

[RockRaven]

11. The US and New Zealand are the only developed countries which allow direct to consumer ads

for prescription drugs. While I do not think we ought to join the crowd just to join the crowd, I also think direct to consumer ads for prescription drugs cause a great deal of harm/cost/waste and would be glad to see them go.

HOWEVER, this move will be no panacea, coming as it is from an administration whose health appointees are disproportionately grifters in the "wellness" (i.e. snake oil and bullshit) space. Their interests in this matter lie in kneecapping the competition to their bogus treatments/solutions.
