I would be curious if a commercial reminding people it's flu season, or that the new COVID boosters are out would fall under this. As I don't think banning reminders without a specific drug push is in the spirit of a ban like this, but then looking at who is proposing it gives me pause. And I know that the article mentions seniors seeing vax commercials to remind them, but it doesn't 100% say if those are included or not.

Ooh, anything else about him worth mentioning?

"Man wants to spend time socializing with children and giving them gifts" is an odd lead in for "unapologetic child molester stalks local park"

This would be huge

Remember, this would probably include flu/COVID vaccines at CVS just as much as restless leg syndrome pills. Just because the words "ban drug ads" sound like a good thing doesn't mean the implementation is acceptable. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Get rid of corn syrup getting added to everything, ban drug ads on TV, I gotta say I don't disagree with everything this guys says he wants to do but I also feel like it's mostly just talk.

Corn syrup is no worse for you than any other sugar.

It's definitely added to a ton of things but that's because people like sweet shit. The corn syrup doesn't hurt you - the overconsumption of any refined sugars causes diabetes.

Removing corn syrup and adding white sugar is just as bad.

For every good idea he has 5 very bad and/or dangerous ones.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Weird people on this platform. It's OK to agree with people you dislike sometimes.

He just wants to get rid of the entire healthcare system.

It seems like the combination of project 2025 and RFK has the goal of making the masses sick and weak, so every minority can be targeted and replaced by evangelical over breeders.

So, a modern spin on white eugenics.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah do that, definitely.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That would be awesome. However, some TV channels are nothing but pharma ads, so they would fold overnight, no more funding.
