“Why is Big Pharma essential? Expand your thinking past cures. ~Q
Answer??
FAKE NEWS
You want to know why FAKE NEWS exists in the US? The answer can be found in this screen shot. Ask yourself why the FDA is justifying “the benefits” of “direct to consumer” Pharmaceutical advertising (aka “BIG PHARMA advertising”) without discussing “the RISKS?” I thought regulatory agencies use Risk to Benefit analysis???
They don’t on this question because FAKE NEWS is funded mostly by BIG PHARMA advertising, so the RISKs are that “We the People” are lied to every day in order to control “Public Opinion.”
If Trump wants to END FAKE NEWS, all he needs to do is sign an executive order to end direct to consumer pharmaceutical advertising. FAKE NEWS would die over night. Maybe he will before it’s all said and done, but if he doesn’t, IMO, it will go down in history as his greatest strategic error as POTUS.
