RFK To Eliminate ALL PHARMA Ads On TV!
If the White House order holds as written, it’s a body blow to pharma’s TV ad model: by directing FDA/HHS to scrap the 1997 “adequate provision” shortcut and require full safety disclosures in broadcast spots—closer to the pre-1997 standard—drug commercials become so long and expensive that many won’t air, shrinking Big Pharma’s leverage over news outlets hooked on that ad money; the administration has already paired the move with a “crackdown” of ~100 cease-and-desist notices and thousands of warnings, signaling real enforcement rather than rhetoric, while RFK Jr. has made no secret he ultimately wants these ads gone entirely. Expect a constitutional fight: commercial drug ads are protected speech, and industry lawyers will argue that mandating exhaustive side-effect scripts effectively chills advertising, inviting challenges under Virginia Pharmacy and related doctrine. But even before any court ruling, the practical effect could be immediate—less saturation marketing, more price and safety scrutiny, and a media landscape a bit less dependent on pharma buys.
