        Yep, fake news! Sorry, but we all know that Trump has all the drugs ever made at the White House! Remember putting on the White House Lawn. I mean really, Trump needs to be treated for his hidden drug hoarding at a Russian Rehab!

        And we have to remember the multitudes suffering because Trump wants pain suffering people to get off then, so he can have them all! He should probably meet my G grandpa who served in Korean War, yet awake on ventilator! Only sedative given! Yikes!

        And then maybe he’ll think twice about his drug addiction! But doubt it instead show the truth for once! Line the White House lawn with the 56,000 plus people of all ages who died from the flu! Place flags on the White House lawn for that! Yes still raging!

        I am calling Trump out on this one! Crimes Against Humanity! By not calling this flu pandemic the worse to hit all age groups in recent history! For a while it was 4,000 per week! So Trump best stop his circle of lies! It’s terrible and a criminal act!

        Oh wasn’t Trump a draft dodger? Surely so, with his inhuman acts all over the map! So Mueller best include that,,if he’s pursuing anything at all in the den of theives and liars! Easily readable with red faces and smirks! Shameful!

        Sorry can’t stop on this one! I hope that all the flu victims will join me in a clas action lawsuit against Trump for failure to acknowledge or act on this flu pandemic! I am sure some angry families will be happy to! Trump has the drugs! Dump Trump! Now!

        And alcohol kills around 90k annually but no mentions just everyone has become accustomed to it, and more beer sponsors at every sport event as a result.. As the drunk drivers will say hey we arent in the same league as drug users, our drug is legal 😒 lmao

        We prescribe and advertise drugs like it’s candy, it’s disgusting! Prescriptions drug companies should not be allowed to advertise

        Do you live in the US? If not then you probably wouldn’t. The US and NZ are the only country’s that allow direct to consumer advertising of presciption drugs! We may not do pain killers but we do depression and anxiety

        I’ve never seen an ad for Vicodin or oxycodone or Percocet. No opioid ever. Never Xanax or Ativan. I’ve seen some sleep aides like Ambien or Lunesta advertised. But it’s the mental health drugs like Zoloft or Latuda or Effexor that they push. A lot.

        Stop criminalizing people with chronic pain. The few are penalizing the many. The government & insurance are practicing medicine without a license. They continue to want to insert themselves in the doctor/patient relationship without assessing the patient. This needs to stop.

        Well, the only logical thing to do, is blame the drugs and Ban medicines. They are obviously a threat and we need Common Sense drug reform .. let's March, we could come up with played out 60s rhyming chants for mass simpleton appeal..

        Are you sure about that this is the pharmaceuticals problem? Pretty sure its political, the doctors over prescribing medications, and the blackmarket wish is not control-bull. Or am i flying to high?
