5. my partner proposes banning drug ads on the tube
don't see it happening, at least not with the current mis-administration
but tv ads for drugs will just drive marketing back into the underground -- i.e. free samples from your doctor and perks for your doctor?
I don't have statistics on it - but I remember reading articles many years ago where drug companies gave alot of "Perks" to doctors that prescribed a particular drug
Drug companies make money by selling drugs -- but their focus is not on making drugs that help, it's making drugs that SELL -- this makes their stockholders very happy.
the FDA merely rubber stamps the product to give the appearance of credibility.
