Since the late 1990s, drug companies have spent tens of billions of dollars on television ads, drumming up demand for their products with cheerful jingles and scenes of dancing patients.

      This “broken clock” is right a surprising amount of the time, just don’t focus on the occasional statement he makes that the corporate media really, really wants you to focus on, they’ve deployed the crackpot strategy on a guy who really just wants you to eat healthy and make your own choices about your health.

        He wants to remove approval for the polio vaccine. That alone is enough to say he should go get fucked.

          And yet Trump has been quoted as saying he is all in favor of the polio vaccine and RFK is not nearly as radical as presented.

            We all know the traitor is lying about literally everything that comes out of his mouth. Just the fact that rfk would accept a position with a verified seditionist traitor tells me all I need to know about Mr. whale head hacksaw.

        I’m not of the belief that the general American public has enough agency or wherewithal to make their own choices about health.

          Odd argument for a thread essentially about advertising to the public directly, instead of health professionals in trade journals.

            You’re right. They just haven’t heard it from the right place, yet.

                I haven’t heard one to rebuke. I’ve mostly just been making fun of you thusfar.

                Do you have an argument beyond RFK isn’t that crazy, just… some?

        He is a fucking crackpot. Anti-vaccine anti-science worm eaten brained idiotic moron who did heroin for 15 years straight.

          You need to actually listen to what he is saying, not what others say he is. Sustainable farming, eat healthy, limit processed oil intake, reduction of pesticide/herbicide/etc use…these are not crackpot positions, simply threats to the corporate status quo.

            Lmfao. The traitor and his team are the corrupt oligarch status quo.

            I feel bad for you. You’re clearly not mentally equipped to handle the firehose of bullshit from this upcoming fascist regime.

                That’s a coherent argument! But only if you’ve suffered some extensive brain damage.

          Fear mongering. Actually listening to what RFK has to say versus what mass media wants you to think he’s about, very quickly leads to agreeing with the guy on roughly 95 percent of topics.
